If you need stump grinding in Bentonville, professional removal eliminates trip hazards, prevents pest infestations, and opens up yard space for landscaping or construction projects. Over The Top Tree Service uses commercial grinding equipment that reduces stumps to wood chips below ground level, preventing regrowth and leaving a clean surface ready for grass seed, sod, or new plantings. The process takes less time than digging out stumps by hand while causing minimal disruption to surrounding turf and landscaping.
Stump grinding involves cutting the stump and major surface roots into small chips using a rotating cutting wheel. The grinder operates at variable depths depending on your plans for the area—shallow grinding works for turfgrass installation, while deeper grinding prepares the site for pavement or structures. All debris is removed as part of the service, and the resulting hole is backfilled with a mix of soil and wood chips that settles naturally over a few weeks.
Why Leaving Stumps Creates Problems in Bentonville Yards
Old stumps attract termites, carpenter ants, and wood-boring beetles that eventually spread to healthy trees or wooden structures nearby. The decaying wood also hosts fungal growth that produces mushrooms and sends spores throughout your yard. Stumps hidden by grass or groundcover create tripping hazards, especially for children and visitors unfamiliar with your property layout. Mowing around stumps wastes time and risks equipment damage from hidden roots or hardware left in the wood.
Stumps also take years to decompose naturally, occupying valuable yard space that could support better uses. Roots left in the ground send up shoots that require repeated cutting, and the decaying root system creates voids that cause settling in lawns or walkways. Professional grinding solves all these issues in a single visit, improving both safety and aesthetics immediately.
