I like what you said about how many tree stump grinding companies have discounts for multiple stumps. I have 3 trees that need to be removed. I'll have to hire a crew with the right tools to help out.

I totally agree when you said that it can be hard to mow around a stump aside from its unpleasant appearance. Because of that, I plan to hire stump removal services this weekend to address the one in my backyard. The tree there left that when there was a hurricane with strong winds that knocked it down.

Stump grinders come in wheeled and tracked versions. Wheeled grinders are more maneuverable on even surfaces, while tracked ones offer better stability on uneven terrain.
