Storm cleanup is another area where stump grinding may become necessary. Trees can be severely affected during a storm. They can be snapped off or uprooted by the combination of high winds and rain generally associated with storms.

When a tree is broken off, a storm cleanup service will typically cut the tree as low as possible, leaving a stump behind. Stump grinding is the next step in the process to complete the removal of the storm damaged tree.

On the other hand, a partially uprooted tree stump will still need to be ground or extracted but will possibly create some other issues when the roots pull on or move surrounding elements, including the soil.

Some tree stumps have been uprooted to the point at which we can simply extract them with a machine upon clean up, and will require no stump grinding.
