What Your Property Gains

That stump isn’t just ugly – it’s stealing your yard space and creating problems you probably haven’t even thought about yet. Every day it sits there, it’s attracting pests, sprouting new growth, and making your property look unfinished.

When we grind it out completely, you get your space back. No more mowing around it. No more explaining to neighbors why it’s still there. No more kids or guests tripping over it.

Your yard becomes usable again. You can plant grass, install a garden, or just enjoy a clean, finished landscape that actually looks intentional. Plus, you eliminate the pest magnet that old stumps become – termites, ants, and rodents love rotting wood.

Our Stump Grinding Process

Simple, Clean, Complete Removal

We start by assessing your stump and the surrounding area to determine the best approach and equipment needed. Our professional-grade grinder reduces the entire stump to wood chips, going several inches below ground level to prevent regrowth.

The grinding process is precise – we remove the stump without damaging your surrounding landscape, utilities, or hardscaping. Our equipment can access tight spaces and work around existing plants, fences, or structures.

After grinding, we remove all debris and wood chips unless you want to keep them for mulch. We’ll backfill the area with soil and leave your property clean and ready for whatever comes next. The whole process typically takes a few hours, depending on stump size, and you can use the area immediately.

Stump grinding costs depend on the size, location, and number of stumps you need removed. Most residential stumps in Corning range from $100 to $400 per stump. Larger stumps or those in difficult locations may cost more, while multiple stumps often qualify for volume pricing. We provide free estimates and transparent pricing upfront, so you know exactly what you’re paying before we start. The cost typically includes complete grinding below ground level, cleanup, and debris removal.
We grind stumps 6-8 inches below ground level as standard practice. This depth prevents regrowth and allows you to plant grass, install landscaping, or build over the area without issues. If you need deeper grinding for construction or specific landscaping plans, we can go deeper upon request. Going below ground level is crucial – surface-level grinding often leads to new shoots sprouting from remaining roots, which defeats the purpose of stump removal.
Professional stump grinding causes minimal damage to surrounding areas when done correctly. We use appropriate equipment for each job and take care to protect your existing landscape. Our machines are designed to access stumps without tearing up large areas of lawn. Any minor surface disruption is typically limited to the immediate stump area and recovers quickly. We can also work around flower beds, fences, and other landscaping features. Proper technique and the right equipment make all the difference.
Yes, we have compact equipment specifically for tight residential spaces, areas near buildings, and locations with limited access. Our smaller grinders can fit through standard gates and work in spaces where larger machines can’t operate. We regularly handle stumps near foundations, between houses, in fenced backyards, and around pools or patios. Before starting any job, we assess access and choose the appropriate equipment to safely and effectively remove your stump without property damage.
Standard service includes removing all wood chips and debris, leaving your property clean and ready to use. However, many customers choose to keep the wood chips for mulch in flower beds or around other trees – they make excellent organic mulch. If you want to keep them, we’ll pile them neatly where you specify. If not, we haul everything away as part of our cleanup process. The choice is yours, and there’s no additional charge either way.
Most residential stumps take 30 minutes to 2 hours to grind completely, depending on size and root system complexity. Small ornamental tree stumps might be done in 15-30 minutes, while large oak or maple stumps can take several hours. Multiple stumps obviously take longer, but we can usually handle several in one visit. We’ll give you a time estimate when we provide your quote. Weather and ground conditions can affect timing, but we work efficiently to minimize disruption to your day.
