Reclaim Your Property from Unsightly Stumps
Grinding stumps not only improves your property's appearance but also eliminates tripping hazards and helps prevent pests and diseases that thrive in decaying wood. Arbor Masters uses top-of-the-line equipment and proven methods to safely and efficiently remove stumps, giving you back a clean, safe, and attractive landscape.
Why Stump Grinding Is Important in Cedar Rapids
Stumps aren't just eyesores; they can be hazardous and limit your yard's potential. And ever since the 2020 derecho, where more than 65% of our city’s tree canopy was destroyed, more properties than ever are dealing with leftover stumps. Here's why our clients usually opt for professional stump grinding after a tree falls or is professionally removed:
Safety First
Eliminate tripping hazards and create a safer environment for your family and guests.
Boost Curb Appeal
A stump-free yard looks cleaner and more attractive, potentially increasing your property value.
Reclaim Your Space
Transform that unused area into a beautiful garden, play space, or outdoor living area. Getting rid of stumps makes outdoor spaces more inviting.
Prevent Regrowth
Stop persistent sprouts and suckers from continually popping up.
Easier Lawn Maintenance
Say goodbye to awkward mowing and trimming around stubborn stumps.
