Our Stump Grinding Process

Here's Exactly What Happens

First, we assess your stump and the surrounding area. We check for utilities, sprinkler systems, and any obstacles that need to be worked around. No surprises, no damage to your property.

Then we bring in our stump grinder and get to work. We grind the stump down 6-8 inches below ground level – deep enough that you can plant grass, install landscaping, or build over the area if you want to.

The whole process creates wood chips, which we either remove completely or can leave for you to use as mulch if you prefer. We clean up all debris, rake the area smooth, and leave your yard looking better than when we arrived. Most residential stumps take 30-60 minutes from start to finish.

Complete Stump Removal Service

Everything Included, Nothing Extra

When we say stump grinding, we mean complete removal. The stump gets ground down below soil level, all visible roots get addressed, and the area gets cleaned up properly.

You don’t pay extra for debris removal or cleanup – that’s part of doing the job right. We bring our own equipment, handle all the heavy lifting, and leave your property in better condition than we found it.

We also handle the tricky situations other companies avoid. Stumps close to foundations, near utility lines, or in tight spaces between buildings. If you’ve got a stump that needs to go, we’ve got the experience and equipment to handle it safely and efficiently.

We grind stumps 6-8 inches below ground level as our standard practice. This depth ensures you can plant grass, install landscaping, or even build structures over the area without hitting remaining wood. If you have specific plans that require deeper grinding, we can accommodate that – just let us know what you’re planning for the space. Going below ground level is crucial because it prevents regrowth and eliminates the visible reminder that there was ever a stump there.
You have two options with the wood chips. We can haul them away completely as part of our cleanup service, leaving you with just clean soil to work with. Or, if you want them, we can leave the chips for you to use as mulch around your property – they’re actually excellent for flower beds and around trees. The chips are fresh and clean, not rotted or diseased. Most customers choose to have us remove them since they generate quite a bit of material, but it’s entirely your choice.
Yes, we handle stumps in tight spaces regularly. Our equipment is designed to work close to foundations, fences, and other structures without causing damage. We take extra precautions in these situations, including hand-digging around utilities and using smaller equipment when needed. Before we start, we assess the area and explain exactly how we’ll approach the job safely. We’ve ground stumps just feet from house foundations, between buildings, and in other challenging locations throughout Keck Park without incident.
Most residential stumps take 30-60 minutes to grind and clean up completely. Larger stumps or those with extensive root systems might take longer, while smaller stumps often take less time. The size of the stump, its location, and site access all factor into timing. We can give you a more accurate estimate when we see your specific situation, but we work efficiently to minimize disruption to your day. Multiple stumps obviously take longer, but we can often handle several in a single visit.
Yes, we offer same-day service when our schedule allows, and we handle emergency situations promptly. If a storm has brought down a tree and left you with a stump that’s creating safety hazards or blocking access, we prioritize those calls. For non-emergency situations, we can often schedule within a few days. Emergency stump removal is particularly important when stumps are blocking driveways, creating trip hazards in high-traffic areas, or when you need the space cleared quickly for other planned work.
Stump grinding uses specialized equipment to chip away the stump and major roots, leaving small chips and sawdust that decompose naturally underground. It’s faster, less expensive, and doesn’t disturb your yard like digging would. Complete stump removal involves digging out the entire root system, which is more expensive, time-consuming, and leaves you with a large hole to fill. For most homeowners, grinding is the better choice because it’s efficient, cost-effective, and allows you to use the space immediately without major yard restoration.
