At Adamson Tree Experts, we know that a tree removal project isn’t truly finished until the stump is taken care of. Whether you’re dealing with a single backyard stump or clearing multiple trees from a larger site, leaving stumps behind can cause more problems than many property owners realize.
That’s why we offer full-service stump removal and stump grinding across Ontario—ensuring your property remains safe, visually appealing, and ready for whatever comes next. With industry-grade equipment, experienced crews, and a deep understanding of soil and root systems, we approach every stump with precision, safety, and long-term results in mind.
Why You Shouldn’t Leave Tree Stumps Behind
After a tree is cut down, the remaining stump may seem harmless—but over time, it can turn into a costly and unsightly liability. Here are some of the most common risks associated with unaddressed stumps:
Pest Attraction: As stumps begin to rot, they become breeding grounds for termites, carpenter ants, beetles, and other wood-boring insects that can spread to nearby trees or even your home.
Fungal and Disease Spread: Decaying wood can harbor fungi and pathogens that may infect healthy plants and trees nearby, undermining your landscape’s overall health.
Tripping Hazards: Particularly in high-traffic areas, tree stumps create a safety risk for children, visitors, and anyone navigating the yard—especially in low visibility conditions.
Mowing & Maintenance Obstruction: Stumps and exposed roots can interfere with mowing, irrigation installation, and landscape planning, making routine yard maintenance more difficult.
Removing a stump isn’t just about aesthetics—it’s about protecting your property and improving its usability.
Two Professional Options: Stump Removal vs. Stump Grinding
At Adamson Tree Experts, we offer two proven solutions, both tailored to your goals and your site’s specific conditions. Our certified team will assess the area and recommend the best approach based on your intended use of the space, soil composition, root spread, and desired outcome.
1. Complete Stump Removal
This method involves digging out the entire stump along with the major root system. Though more invasive, full stump removal provides a clean slate, making it ideal for:
Sites where new trees, shrubs, or hardscaping will be installed
Areas designated for construction or new turf
Situations where root regrowth must be completely prevented
We use hydraulic excavators, stump pullers, and other professional-grade tools to remove the stump safely, minimizing disruption to surrounding soil and structures. Post-removal, the site can be restored and prepped for its next phase—whether it’s seeding, planting, or grading.
2. Stump Grinding
For property owners who want a quicker, less disruptive solution, stump grinding is often the preferred choice. This process involves grinding the visible stump down below ground level, turning it into mulch-like wood chips. It is well-suited for:
Maintaining visual appeal with minimal site disruption
Preparing the area for lawn restoration or low-impact landscaping
Situations where complete root removal isn’t necessary
While stump grinding does not remove the entire root system, it eliminates the visible hazard and allows for smoother mowing, gardening, or replanting. We grind stumps well below grade, leaving the area clean and level.
Why Professional Stump Removal Matters
Attempting to remove a stump on your own—especially without the right tools or expertise—can be dangerous and ineffective. There’s a real risk of:
Injury from heavy equipment or unstable footing
Damage to underground utilities, irrigation lines, or adjacent trees
Improper removal that leads to regrowth or soil instability
At Adamson Tree Experts, our ISA-certified arborists and trained technicians follow the highest safety standards, using well-maintained equipment and proven techniques. We assess every project site for hidden hazards and always comply with local bylaws, permits, and utility clearance requirements.
Complete Site Restoration Available
After your stump is removed or ground, we don’t just leave a hole in the ground—we offer professional site restoration to bring your yard back to its best condition. This may include:
Filling the area with screened topsoil
Leveling and compacting the ground
Overseeding or laying sod
Preparing the space for landscaping or construction
Our goal is to leave your property better than we found it—safe, level, and ready for the next chapter of your outdoor space.
Preventing Regrowth and Future Issues
In some cases, tree stumps may sprout suckers or regrow shoots if not properly dealt with. As part of our removal and grinding services, we offer advice and treatments to inhibit regrowth and protect your landscape. This can include:
Root collar removal
Safe, approved herbicide applications where appropriate
Post-grinding mulching and soil treatment
We’ll walk you through all your options and recommend the right solution for your long-term landscape health.
