Stump Grinding Process

Here's How We Remove Your Stump

First, we assess the stump size, location, and any obstacles like utility lines or nearby structures. This determines which equipment we’ll use and how we’ll approach the job safely.

Next, we position our stump grinder and systematically grind the stump down to 6-8 inches below ground level. This goes deep enough that you can plant grass or other vegetation over the area without issues. We work carefully around any roots that might affect nearby plants or structures you want to keep.

Finally, we clean up all the wood chips and debris. You can keep the wood chips for mulch if you want them, or we’ll haul everything away. The area gets backfilled and leveled so you’re left with usable ground, not a crater.

Complete Stump Removal Service

What's Included In Every Job

Every stump grinding job includes complete removal below ground level, not just surface grinding that leaves you with problems later. We bring professional equipment that can handle any size stump, from small ornamental trees to massive hardwoods that have been growing for decades.

The cleanup is part of the service, not an extra charge. We don’t grind your stump and then leave you with a pile of wood chips and debris to figure out. Site restoration means you get level, usable ground when we’re finished.

We also handle the tricky situations other companies avoid – stumps near foundations, between tight spaces, or in areas where access is challenging. Our equipment and experience let us work in spots where homeowners or less experienced crews would struggle.

We grind stumps 6-8 inches below the soil surface as our standard depth. This goes deep enough that you can plant grass, flowers, or even small shrubs over the area without hitting wood. If you’re planning to plant a new tree in the same spot, we can go deeper to ensure the old root system won’t interfere with new growth. The depth also prevents any chance of the stump sprouting new growth, which can happen with surface-level grinding that some companies do to save time.
Our equipment is designed to work in tight spaces without tearing up your yard. We use track-mounted grinders that distribute weight evenly and can navigate around landscaping, sprinkler systems, and other features you want to protect. Before we start, we’ll identify any utilities or sensitive areas and plan our approach accordingly. Minor surface disruption right around the stump area is normal, but we’re not driving heavy equipment all over your property. Most of our access routes can be restored with basic seeding if needed.
Most residential stumps take 30 minutes to 2 hours depending on size, species, and location. A small dogwood or cherry stump might be done in 30 minutes, while a large oak or maple that’s been growing for 50 years could take several hours. Hardwood species like oak and hickory take longer than softer woods like pine or poplar. Stumps in tight spaces or with extensive root systems also add time. We’ll give you a realistic timeframe when we assess the job, and we don’t rush through the work just to move on to the next customer.
You can keep the wood chips if you want them for landscaping mulch, or we’ll haul them away as part of our cleanup service. Fresh wood chips work well around trees and shrubs, but they’re not ideal for flower beds since they can tie up nitrogen as they decompose. If you’re keeping them, we’ll pile them neatly wherever you want them on your property. If not, removal and disposal are included in our service price. Most customers keep some chips for mulch and have us remove the excess, since even a medium-sized stump produces more chips than most homeowners need.
Yes, we handle stumps in challenging locations including those near foundations, fences, decks, and other structures. Our equipment includes smaller grinders that can work in tight spaces where larger machines won’t fit. We take extra precautions around buildings to prevent any debris from hitting siding, windows, or other surfaces. Root systems that extend under sidewalks, driveways, or foundation areas require careful attention, but we have the experience to handle these situations safely. We’ll assess the location during our estimate and explain exactly how we’ll approach the job.
Stump grinding uses specialized equipment to chip away the visible stump and major roots, leaving smaller roots in the ground to decompose naturally. Complete stump removal involves digging out the entire root system, which requires excavation equipment and leaves you with a large hole to fill. Grinding is more cost-effective, less disruptive to your property, and handles 95% of situations perfectly. The remaining roots break down over time and don’t cause problems. Full removal is only necessary if you’re building a structure directly over the old stump location or dealing with a species that’s particularly prone to regrowth.
