Frequently Asked Questions from Our Customers
Welcome to DC Tree Cutting. With over 25 years of experience serving Eastern North Carolina, we understand that tree emergencies can be stressful and unexpected. That’s why we’ve answered some of the most common questions below to help you feel informed, prepared, and confident.
What is stump grinding, and why should I do it?
Stump grinding is the process of removing a tree stump by grinding it down below ground level. It eliminates tripping hazards, improves the appearance of your yard, prevents new growth from sprouting, and helps avoid pest infestations
How long does it take to grind a stump?
The time needed depends on the size of the stump and its location. Typically, stump grinding takes 30 minutes to a couple of hours, but we aim for fast, efficient service to minimize disruption to your property.
What happens to the mulch after stump grinding?
After we grind the stump, the material is turned into mulch. You can either use the mulch in your garden or landscaping, or we can remove it if you prefer a clean finish.
Do you remove the entire stump?
Stump grinding removes the visible part of the stump, typically grinding it down 6-8 inches below ground level. The roots may remain, but this does not affect your ability to plant or landscape in the area.
How much does stump grinding cost?
The cost depends on factors like the stump’s size, location, and accessibility. We offer free, no-obligation estimates so you know exactly what to expect before work begins.
How can I get a free estimate?
Getting a free estimate is simple. Just call us at 252-506-0099 or fill out our online form, and we’ll provide you with an accurate quote based on the size and condition of your stump(s).
What should I expect during stump grinding service?
Our team will assess the stump’s size and location, use advanced equipment to grind it below ground level, and protect surrounding plants and structures. Afterward, we clean up debris and leave behind mulch for landscaping.
What safety measures do you take during stump grinding?
Safety is our priority. Our team wears protective gear (goggles, gloves, hearing protection) and ensures the area is clear of obstacles and pets to prevent accidents. We use well-maintained equipment for safe operation.
How do you ensure security on my property?
We are fully insured, experienced, and take great care to secure your property during the job. You can trust us to leave your property safe and intact once the work is completed.
Do I need to be present during the stump grinding service?
