Eliminate Hazards & Reclaim Your Yard with Specialty Tree Service

When a tree is removed, the stump left behind can be more than just an eyesore—it can be a safety hazard, an obstacle to yard maintenance, and a magnet for pests. Specialty Tree Service provides complete stump removal and grinding services throughout York, PA, ensuring your property is left clean, safe, and ready for new landscaping.

Tree stump removal will drastically improve the appearance of your property, simplify ground maintenance efforts, and provide you with a safe yard without hazards.

The Problems Posed by Lingering Stumps

Choosing to remove the stump completely provides critical long-term benefits for your property:

• Hazard Elimination: Stumps and visible root systems are significant tripping hazards, especially if they are decaying or partially hidden by grass. Removing them creates a safer environment for family, pets, and visitors.

• Preventing New Growth: Stumps are essentially dormant trees. Leaving them in place will often assure that unsightly and invasive water sprouts (or “suckers”) will form new trees, requiring constant cutting and maintenance. Stump grinding eliminates the ability of the root system to generate new growth.

• Pest and Disease Control: Decaying wood is highly attractive to insects like termites, ants, and beetles, which can then spread to healthy trees or even your home’s foundation. Removing the source of the rot protects your property from infestations.

• Property Value & Aesthetics: A yard free of stumps is easier to mow and far more appealing. Clearing the obstruction allows you to install new grass, garden beds, or construction, fully utilizing your outdoor space.

Our Comprehensive Stump Grinding Process

We utilize professional, state-of-the-art stump grinding equipment to efficiently and effectively remove the stump without excessive disturbance to your surrounding yard.

Stump grinding is the most common and cost-effective method for stump removal. Our process ensures a thorough result:

1. Preparation: We clearly mark the work area and identify any underground utility lines near the stump.

2. Grinding: Our specialized machine uses a rotating cutting wheel to systematically grind the stump down into wood chips. We typically grind the stump several inches below the grade (surface level) to ensure complete removal of the visible trunk and flare.

3. Root Management: Grinding eliminates the major collar and visible roots near the surface. This also prevents underground roots from continuing to cause damage to patios, sidewalks, or underground pipes.

4. Clean-up: Clean-up and removal of the grinding debris (wood chips and soil mix, often called “grindings” or “mulch”) is standard procedure unless otherwise specified by our customers. We can haul away the entire debris pile, or, upon request, leave the material for you to use as natural mulch in your flower beds.
