Our Stump Grinding Process

Simple Process, Complete Results

First, we assess the stump size, location, and any obstacles like utilities or landscaping that need protection. We mark underground lines if needed and set up our equipment.

Our professional-grade stump grinder reduces the entire stump and major roots to wood chips, going several inches below ground level. This prevents regrowth and gives you a clean slate for whatever comes next.

We clean up all the debris, rake the area smooth, and can either haul away the wood chips or leave them for you to use as mulch. The whole process typically takes a few hours, depending on stump size, and you’re left with a level yard ready for grass seed or landscaping.

We grind stumps 6-8 inches below the soil surface, which is deep enough to prevent regrowth and allow you to plant grass or add landscaping. This depth eliminates the visible stump and major surface roots that could interfere with mowing or cause future problems. Going deeper than this typically isn’t necessary and can actually create drainage issues in your yard. The grinding depth we use has proven effective for thousands of Franklin Park area properties over the years.
We take steps to protect your existing landscape during the grinding process. Our equipment is designed to work in tight spaces, and we use protective barriers when working near flower beds, shrubs, or other landscaping features. Any minor lawn disturbance from equipment access is minimal and grass typically recovers quickly. We also rake and clean the area after grinding, so you’re left with a smooth surface ready for grass seed. Most customers are surprised at how little disruption there is to the surrounding yard.
You have options with the wood chips. We can haul them away completely as part of our cleanup service, or leave them for you to use as mulch around other trees and landscaping. The chips make excellent mulch and many customers appreciate having this free material for their gardens. If you choose to keep some chips, we’ll pile them neatly in a location you specify. Either way, we clean up the grinding area and remove any debris you don’t want, leaving your yard looking neat and ready for the next step.
Most residential stumps take 1-3 hours to grind completely, including setup and cleanup.

For multiple stumps, we can often handle several in the same visit, which is more efficient and cost-effective than separate trips.
