Stump Grinding Process

Here's Exactly What Happens

First, we assess your stump and the surrounding area. We identify any underground utilities, sprinkler lines, or landscape features that need protection. This prevents the expensive surprises that happen when someone just starts grinding without thinking.

Next, we position our professional grinding equipment to access the stump while minimizing impact on your lawn and landscaping. Our machines are designed to get the job done efficiently without tearing up everything around the work area.

The grinding process removes the stump several inches below ground level, eliminating the visible portion and the root system that could cause future problems. We control the debris and manage the process to keep your property clean.

Finally, we handle the cleanup and can either remove the wood chips or leave them for you to use as mulch, depending on your preference. You’re left with a clean space ready for whatever you want to do next.

Stump grinding costs depend on the size, location, and accessibility of your stump. Most residential stumps in the Lehigh Valley area range from $150 to $500, with larger or more complex removals costing more. We provide upfront pricing after seeing your specific situation, so you know exactly what you’re paying before we start.

Professional stump grinding minimizes damage to surrounding areas when done correctly. We use specialized equipment designed to access stumps while protecting your landscape. Some minor surface disruption is normal, but we take precautions to preserve your lawn, plants, and hardscape features. We can also work around sprinkler systems, underground utilities, and other landscape elements. The key is proper equipment positioning and experienced operators who understand how to work efficiently while protecting your property.
We typically grind stumps 6 to 8 inches below ground level, which eliminates the visible stump and prevents regrowth in most cases. This depth allows you to plant grass, install landscaping, or build over the area without interference from remaining root material. For specific projects like construction or deep planting, we can grind deeper as needed. The goal is to remove enough of the stump and root system to solve your immediate problem and prevent future issues.
You have options for the wood chips created during grinding. We can remove all debris and leave you with a clean space ready for immediate use. Alternatively, we can leave the wood chips for you to use as natural mulch around trees, shrubs, or garden areas. Many homeowners appreciate having free mulch material that would otherwise cost money at the garden center. We’ll discuss your preference during the initial assessment and handle the cleanup according to your needs.
Yes, we regularly handle stump removal in tight spaces near homes, fences, driveways, and other structures. Our equipment is designed for precision work in confined areas, and our operators have experience working around obstacles that matter to your property. We take extra precautions when working near structures, including hand-finishing techniques when necessary. The key is proper assessment beforehand to determine the best approach for your specific situation and ensure no damage to surrounding features.
Most residential stumps take 30 minutes to 2 hours to grind completely, depending on size and complexity. Smaller stumps under 12 inches diameter are usually finished within an hour, while larger stumps or those with extensive root systems take longer. Multiple stumps can be handled in the same visit for efficiency. We’ll give you a time estimate when we assess your specific situation, so you can plan accordingly. Weather conditions and site accessibility can also affect timing, but we work efficiently to minimize disruption to your day.
