Stump Grinding Removes the Root Collar So New Shoots Don't Sprout From an Old Oak's Root System

Post Copy

That stump in the corner of the yard? It's not done trying to grow.

Old oak and maple stumps can send up new shoots for years if the root collar underneath isn't ground down. We take it below grade so the sprouting actually stops, not just the visible stump.

Clear ground, ready for grass seed or a new bed. No surprise shoots next spring.
