What Is Stump Removal?

Stump removal is the process of extracting the remaining portion of a tree after it has been cut down, including the visible stump and its root system. When a tree is felled, the trunk is typically cut close to the ground, leaving behind the stump—an often unsightly and potentially hazardous remnant that can interfere with landscaping, attract pests, or become a tripping hazard.

There are two primary approaches to addressing a leftover stump: stump grinding and complete stump removal. While stump grinding involves mechanically shaving down the stump to just below ground level, stump removal goes a step further by extracting the entire stump and its root ball from the soil. This process is more intensive and requires heavy-duty equipment, but it ensures that the tree won’t regrow and makes the area suitable for replanting, construction, or other landscaping projects.

Stump removal is often the preferred choice for homeowners and property managers looking to fully reclaim their outdoor space, eliminate safety risks, or prepare the land for new development.

Do Tree Stumps Grow Back When You Don’t Remove Them?

Many tree species have strong root systems that send up new shoots, even after its trunk is cut. This regrowth disrupts your landscaping plans and can lead to more invasive root systems that are harder to eliminate later. When you don’t want to see any signs of regrowth, choose excavator stump removal methods over stump grinding to be sure your stump’s root ball won’t cause any repeat issues.

Will Taking Out a Stump Kill Its Root System?

Yes. Complete stump removal stops your tree stump’s roots from drawing nutrients and generating new growth. Our full removal service extracts your stump and its major root structures, ensuring your tree is truly gone.

This is essential for preventing regrowth, protecting nearby plants, and preparing the area for future use.

Can Stumps Interfere With Underground Utilities?

Tree roots don’t always stop growing, even when all that’s left is a stump. They can grow around or press against underground pipes, irrigation systems, or electrical lines, cause breaks and blockages, or interfere with utility maintenance. Stump removal reduces the risk of future root-related damage and helps you create a stable foundation for future landscaping or construction initiatives.

It’s best not to undertake stump removal yourself. Without excavation experience, you risk causing damage to subterranean utilities while you dig. Before starting your removal, our technicians will conduct a complete site assessment to locate any underground utilities so we can avoid interfering with them while we pull out your stump and the bulk of its root system.

When Should You Consider Removing a Stump?

If you’ve recently removed a tree or have an old stump on your property, you might wonder if stump removal is necessary.

Here are several common scenarios when stump removal should be considered.

Safety Hazards

Tree stumps can be a serious safety concern. They’re easy to trip over, especially for children, elderly family members, or guests. Removing a stump eliminates this risk and creates a safer outdoor environment.

Pest Infestations

A decaying stump attracts pests, such as termites, ants, beetles, and rodents. Over time, these pests can spread to other areas, including your home or other healthy trees nearby. Prompt stump removal reduces this risk.

Diseases Spread

Tree stumps left behind from diseased trees can harbor fungal growth or pathogens. Removing these stumps prevents the spread of disease to healthy trees or plants on your property.

Will Removing Stumps Help Fix Your Lawn Drainage Issues?

In many cases, yes. Tree stumps and their leftover root systems can compact soil, block natural water flow, or create uneven ground that traps moisture. These issues can lead to soggy patches, root rot in nearby plants, or erosion problems. Removing the stump allows water to move more freely across your yard, improving drainage and soil health.

Have one of our technicians evaluate these conditions as part of our stump removal process, and let us tell you more about how digging out your stumps helps restore your yard’s drainage capacity.
