Stump Grinding and Removal

Stump grinding is the most common and efficient way to remove tree stumps. Using a specialized machine called a stump grinder, we grind the stump into small wood chips and level the ground for future use.

What You Can Expect From Our Stump Grinding Service:
-
We grind the stump 6–12 inches below ground level, or deeper upon request.
- Roots remain underground but naturally decay over time.
- The area is left level and can be covered with topsoil, seed, sod, mulch, or landscaping.
- Grinding is fast, safe, minimally invasive, and more affordable than full stump removal.
- We clean up all debris and leave your yard ready for use.

Stump grinding is ideal for:
✔ Yard restoration
✔ Landscaping projects
✔ Eliminating tripping hazards
✔ Improving curb appeal
✔ Preventing pests like ants or termites from nesting in old stumps

Full Stump Removal (Root Removal)

For customers who want the entire stump and root system removed, we offer full stump removal, also known as complete root removal.

This method involves extracting the stump and major roots using heavy equipment such as excavators or backhoes.

Full stump removal is recommended when:
-
You plan to replant a tree in the same spot
- You are preparing for new construction, patios, sheds, or hardscaping
-
Large roots interfere with landscaping, pipes, or foundations
-You need the area 100% root-free

This method leaves a larger hole that must be filled with soil, and it is more labor-intensive than grinding.

Stump Grinding and Removal FAQs

Can I plant grass or plants on top of a grinded stump?

Yes, once the stump is ground below grade, simply fill the hole with topsoil and plant grass, flowers, or landscaping.

How deep do you grind the stump?

Our standard depth is 6–12 inches, but we can grind as deep as 21–24 inches upon request.

Do underground utilities need to be marked?

Depending on the stump location, we may require utilities to be marked to ensure a safe and damage-free removal.

Do you remove the mulch/wood chips?

This is up to you, we can:
✔ Spread & level the chips
✔ Leave them for landscaping
✔ Remove them entirely (additional fee)

Is stump grinding safe near foundations, sidewalks, or landscaping?

Yes. Stump grinding is the safest method of removal because we precisely control what is ground and what is left untouched.
