Stump Grinding Services
Once your old tree is removed, the remaining stump might seem decorative, but it’s often unsightly and hazardous and attracts pests. Dragonetti Tree Removal efficiently grinds unwanted stumps and roots 6” to 12” below grade, typically taking half an hour to two hours, depending on the stump’s size.
Contrary to its name, stump grinding uses equipment with specially designed carbide teeth on a cutter wheel, cutting the stump into smaller chips. The resulting debris can be recycled to fill the stump’s hole, used as decorative mulch, or removed. After removal, you can transform the space with fresh grass, an attractive flower bed, or a new tree.

Can You Rot A Tree Stump?
This leaves many people questioning whether you could simply let the stump rot on its own. Most people try various methods; some try Epsom salts, others vinegar, to speed this process up. While most of these solutions sound pretty simple, the effectiveness is not very reliable.
Common Methods:
- Epsom Salts: Instead of just attacking the living tissue, this is supposed to work by dehydrating the stump, which would speed up decomposition.
- Vinegar: The acid in it will encourage rotting, but you may need to apply multiple times.
- Chemical Stump Removers: These are effective but have harsh potential environmental impacts.
Yet, there are a couple of disadvantages of doing it yourself. If you leave the stump to rot, it may take a number of years, leaving an eyesore in your yard that may attract some pests or diseases that may affect other plants nearby.
Disadvantages of Letting a Stump Rot:
It takes years: It is going to take years for the natural decaying process to be complete, meaning you need to endure this eyesore until it is fully decayed.
Attracts Pests: The degrading stump may attract insects, fungi, and other pests that could spread into your garden or landscape.
Incomplete Results: Most of these methods will not break the stump down completely.
Consistency: You may need to rot a stump every few days for over six months to a year.
