Why Stump Removal Matters And How We Help

Leave a stump—it might cost you.


Most homeowners leave stumps, thinking they're harmless. But tree stumps cause:


  • Risk of Injury: tripping hazards for kids, visitors, and pets.
  • Pest Issues: termites, ants, and beetles that prefer to live in rotting wood.
  • Tree Resprouting Without Permission: Certain trees actually grow from an aged stump.
  • Damage to Property: After years, roots can damage sidewalks and driveways.
  • Restricting Land Use: Stumping is the area required for planting or a patio.


That's why we encourage acting promptly. Our affordable stump grinding in Santa Maria removes the possibility of threat and risk at its origin-safely, hygienically, and without harming the surrounding landscaping.

FAQs

  • What is stump grinding vs. stump removal?

    Stump grinding consists in the mechanical shredding of the visible stump below ground level, usually 6 to 12 inches, with the remaining roots left to decay over time. This approach is very well suited for landscaping or situations where visual removal suffices.


    Stump removal is the process of extracting the stump with its whole root system; this approach ends up being more intensive on one end but justifiable when hardscaping is planned or construction is intended or to prevent roots from regrowing. At JTS, Inc., we assist you in selecting the best option based on your site conditions, objectives, and budget.


  • What does the ground look like after stump removal or grinding?

    Grinding a stump leaves a pit filled with wood chips and soil. Then again, we offer: 


    • Leave the wood chips for your landscaping use. 
    • Take away the debris and backfill the area with topsoil from our site. 
    • Even out and smooth the area for sod, gravel, or plantings. 
    • We ensure that your yard is clean and ready for the next step, whether it serves as grass or a newly built patio.

  • If I grind a stump, can it sprout?

    Yes, but again, in rare cases. Generally, the trees' roots die after grinding, but suckering roots continue to sprout in some aggressive species, like Eucalyptus, Willow, or Ash. 


    So if land replanted in the coming years is a concern, recommend root removal or stump extraction, notably in a replanting arrangement on the particular site where the stump is removed. 


    Our survey of tree species will give us the opportunity to recommend the most appropriate solution to prevent future growth problems. 


  • How quickly can you remove or grind stumps?

    On average, most stumps take about 30 to 90 minutes to grind, depending on size and type of wood. Stump removal (with roots taken out) could take longer, sometimes taking 2 to 4 hours or even more, especially for those large and deeply rooted trees. 


    We provide timelines at your free consultation based on stump size, accessibility, and the number of stumps involved. 


  • Do you do stump grinding for commercial properties and homeowners associations?

    Indeed, we work with professional property managers, real estate agents, business owners, and HOA clients throughout San Luis Obispo County. Whether land clearing for development, enhancing curb appeal, or preparing for landscaping, JTS, Inc. has all the necessary equipment and an amazing crew on hand for large and multi-stump jobs. 


    For example, we can do these tasks after hours or at off-peak times to create minimal disruption to businesses and tenants.
