Is Tree Stump Removal Necessary?
After tree removal, leftover stumps can become an eyesore and attract pests such as termites, ants, and fungi. JPS Tree Services offers professional stump removal and stump grinding services to help restore your landscape.

- Stump Removal Removes both stump and major roots Creates a clean area for replanting or landscaping More extensive process requiring additional equipment
- Stump Grinding Faster and less invasive Removes the visible stump Leaves roots underground
Our team will help you choose the best option based on your property goals and budget.
How Much Tree Removal Costs?
Tree removal costs vary based on the specific conditions of the tree and property and requires an on-site evaluation.
Factors we consider include:
- Tree size and height
- Proximity to structures or power lines
- Location and accessibility
- Equipment and crew requirements
- Safety risks and complexity of removal
We provide free, transparent estimates and walk you through the entire process so there are no surprises.
If I Cut a Root, Will the Tree Die?
Cutting roots may seem harmless, but improper root cutting can seriously damage or destabilize a tree.
Key things to know:
- Avoid cutting roots larger than 2 inches in diameter
- Never remove more than 15% of a tree’s root system
- Root pruning should be done well away from the trunk
- Late winter or early spring is generally the safest time
- When unsure, consult a certified arborist before cutting
In many cases, alternatives like soil leveling or lawn topdressing can solve the issue without harming the tree.

Standard tree removal usually involves cutting the trunk as low to the ground as possible. Stump grinding is typically a separate service where a machine shreds the stump 6–12 inches below the surface, allowing you to plant grass or a new tree in its place.
Professional crews use ground protection mats to distribute the weight of heavy machinery. For sensitive areas, arborists use "rigging"—a system of ropes and pulleys—to lower branches piece by piece rather than letting them "free-fall" onto your landscaping.
Sometimes. Trees in a "grove" protect each other from wind. If you remove a large "buffer" tree, the remaining trees may be more susceptible to windthrow (being blown over) because they haven't developed the "wind wood" necessary to stand alone.
