Our Stump Grinding Process

Straightforward Process, Complete Results

We start by assessing the stump size, root spread, and what’s around it – utilities, landscaping, structures. This determines the right equipment and approach for your specific situation.

The grinding process removes the stump 6-8 inches below ground level, which prevents regrowth and gives you clean soil for replanting. Our equipment mulches the wood into chips as we work, so there’s no hauling away large pieces.

We clean up the wood chips and fill the hole with soil, leaving the area ready for grass seed or whatever you’re planning next. The whole process typically takes 30 minutes to 2 hours depending on stump size, and you’re left with usable space instead of an obstacle.

This depth also ensures you can mow over the area without hitting any remaining wood.

You can keep the wood chips for mulch around trees and garden beds, or we’ll remove them completely – your choice. The chips make excellent natural mulch that helps retain soil moisture and suppress weeds. If you don’t want them, we’ll haul them away and fill the area with soil instead. Most customers either use some chips for mulch and have us remove the rest, or keep them all if they have large garden areas to cover.
Most residential stump grinding takes 30 minutes to 2 hours depending on the size and number of stumps. Small stumps under 12 inches diameter usually take 30-45 minutes including cleanup.
