Leftover stumps after tree removal are more than eyesores—they harbor wood-boring insects, fungi, and roots that continue to sprout, complicating lawn care and future plantings. Olympia's moist climate accelerates stump decay, attracting carpenter ants and creating soft spots that present tripping hazards on residential and commercial properties.
Two Brothers Tree Services and Landscaping offers professional stump grinding and complete stump removal services to restore your landscape's usability and curb appeal. According to the National Arborist Association, grinding to 12 inches below grade eliminates 95% of visible stump and allows immediate replanting or turf installation. You gain clean, level ground ready for your next project.
Our track-mounted grinders access tight spaces between homes, navigate slopes common in Olympia's Capitol Forest edge neighborhoods, and pulverize stumps of any size. Whether you're preparing a site for a patio, garden bed, or new tree, we remove obstacles efficiently and leave mulch you can reuse or haul away at your request.
Why Stump Grinding Matters in Olympia
Olympia receives approximately 50 inches of rain annually, creating ideal conditions for fungal colonization of decaying wood. Stumps left in place become breeding grounds for honey fungus and root rot pathogens that spread to nearby healthy trees and shrubs. You protect your entire landscape investment by eliminating these infection reservoirs promptly.
Grinding also prevents root suckering, a common issue with maples, alders, and other species that send up shoots from lateral roots. Studies by the University of Washington show that unground stumps generate an average of 15 suckers per growing season, requiring repeated mowing and herbicide application. We grind roots and stump tissue thoroughly, ending the cycle at the source.
Our operators adjust grinding depth based on your plans—shallow for turf, deeper for hardscaping or building foundations. Contact us today for stump grinding and removal in Olympia to reclaim usable square footage and enhance safety across your property.
Choosing expert grinding over DIY attempts or ignoring the problem altogether delivers tangible benefits:
- Immediate elimination of tripping hazards that pose liability risks to visitors and family members
- Prevention of pest infestations including termites, carpenter ants, and wood-boring beetles common in Olympia
