Stump Removal
Stump removal is often necessary after a tree has been cut down. There are a few different ways to remove a stump, and the most effective option depends on the size and condition of the stump. If the stump is small and in good condition, it may be possible to remove it with a chainsaw or other hand tools. If the stump is large, or in poor condition, we might have to use an excavator to finish the job.
You may need to have the stump removed for a variety of reasons. It could be causing damage to the roots of your other trees. Or it could simply be a safety hazard. It could be a fire hazard. Maybe you're just tired of it and want to go ahead and have it removed. No matter what the reason, our tree care specialists can create a customized game plan on how we can go about removing it and maybe even grinding the stump for mulch around your home.
There are also many ways to remove a stump by yourself as well. The most common is to use a chainsaw. The first step is to measure the height and width of the stump. Then, you will need to purchase a chainsaw that is powerful enough to cut through the stump. The next step is to mark the outline of the stump with spray paint. Be sure to avoid any underground cables or wires.

Stump Grinding in Kelowna Done Right
Stump grinding is the process of using a machine to grind the stump down into small pieces. The machine has a rotating wheel with sharp teeth that can chip away at the stump, making it smaller and smaller until it is level with the ground. This process leaves behind small wood chips that can be used for mulch or easily removed from the site.
3 Reasons For Grinding Your Stumps
- Quickest & Most Efficient Method: Grinding can be completed in just a few hours depending on the size of the stump.
- Non-invasive: The process does not require extensive digging or excavation.
- Cost-effective: Simpler and less time-consuming process than stump removal and the most affordable option.
Complete Stump Removal
Complete Stump removal involves physically digging out the entire stump, including the roots. This process is more labor-intensive and requires more equipment than stump grinding. Stump removal can be a good option for those who want to replant in the same location or for those who want to completely eliminate the stump from their property.
Consider these benefits:
- Eliminate eyesores for good!

STUMP REMOVAL VS STUMP GRINDING
WHICH OPTION IS BEST FOR ME?
The best option for removing a stump depends on several factors, including the size and location of the stump, the intended use of the space, and personal preference. In general, stump grinding is a good option for those who want a quick and efficient removal process at a lower cost. Stump removal, on the other hand, is a more labor-intensive process that completely eliminates the stump from the property.
Why Remove A Stump?
Leaving a stump untouched causes roots to rot, eventually creating homes for pests, fungi, and other organisms. Termites may be attracted to stumps, eating wood that has already begun to decay. These termites can pose an immediate risk to your home if not noticed! Contact Kelowna Tree Masters today and stop critters before its too late!
