Our Stump Grinding Process

Here's Exactly What Happens

First, we assess your stump and the surrounding area. We’ll mark any underground utilities and plan our approach to minimize impact on your landscaping.

Our professional-grade stump grinder reduces the entire stump to wood chips, going several inches below ground level. This eliminates the visible stump and the major root structure that causes problems.

We clean up all debris unless you want to keep the wood chips for mulch. The area gets backfilled with soil and leveled, leaving you with ground that’s ready for immediate use. Most residential stumps are completely removed in under two hours.

We grind stumps 6-8 inches below ground level as standard practice. This depth eliminates the visible stump and major root structure while allowing for proper lawn restoration or new plantings. For areas where you’re planning construction or hardscaping, we can grind deeper upon request. The depth ensures that future mowing, planting, or building won’t be impacted by remaining root material.

Most clients are surprised by how little disruption the process actually causes when done by experienced professionals.
You choose what happens to the wood chips. We can haul them away completely as part of our standard cleanup, or leave them for your use as mulch in garden beds and around trees.

Either way, we ensure the work area is left clean and ready for your next project.
