Sometimes a homeowner has used an axe to chop down a tree, but has failed to deal with the stump. Over time, that same stump could force the homeowner to make a decision. What remains of the old trunk be made the target of a professional removal, or should it be ground down?

A stump can be ground down using a circular saw called a stump grinder. The grinder claws away at the remains of a tree that has been cut down.
