Stump Grinding Process Explained

Here's Exactly What Happens

We start by assessing the stump size and checking for any underground utilities or obstacles. Safety first, always. Then we position our professional-grade stump grinder and begin grinding the stump down to 6-8 inches below ground level.

The grinding process turns the stump into wood chips, which we can either remove completely or leave for you to use as mulch – your choice. We fill the hole with soil and clean up all debris from your property.

Most residential stumps take 30 minutes to 2 hours depending on size and root system. You’ll know exactly what to expect before we start, and we’ll walk you through any concerns about your specific situation.

We grind stumps 6-8 inches below ground level as standard practice. This depth prevents regrowth and allows you to plant grass, flowers, or even new trees in the same spot. If you need deeper grinding for specific landscaping or construction plans, we can accommodate that request. The depth we achieve eliminates the visible stump and root flare completely, leaving you with a clean slate for whatever you want to do with that space.
Our professional equipment is designed to minimize property damage. We use track-mounted grinders that distribute weight evenly and can navigate around existing landscaping features. While there may be some minor ground disturbance from equipment access, we take care to use the least invasive path to reach the stump. Any unavoidable lawn damage is typically minimal and recovers quickly. We’ll discuss access routes with you beforehand and point out any potential concerns.
You have options with the wood chips. We can haul them away completely, leaving you with just filled soil where the stump used to be. Or you can keep them for use as mulch around trees, flower beds, or garden areas. Fresh wood chips work well for pathways and landscaping projects. If you’re unsure, we can remove most of the chips and leave you a small pile to try out. The choice is entirely yours based on your landscaping needs.
Stump grinding costs depend on the stump’s diameter, location accessibility, and root system complexity. Most residential stumps in Mickleys range from $150-$400 per stump. Larger stumps or those in difficult-to-reach locations cost more due to equipment requirements and time involved. We provide upfront pricing after seeing the stump, so you know exactly what you’re paying before we start. Multiple stumps often qualify for package pricing that reduces the per-stump cost.
Yes, our equipment can handle stumps in tight spaces, including those near buildings, fences, and other structures. We have smaller grinders for confined areas where our larger equipment won’t fit. The key is having enough clearance for safe operation – typically 3-4 feet of access space. We’ll assess your specific situation and let you know if access is possible. In most cases, we can find a way to reach stumps that seem impossible to access.
Most residential stumps take 30 minutes to 2 hours to grind completely, depending on size and species. Hardwood stumps like oak and maple take longer than softer woods. Stumps with extensive root systems require more time than those with simpler root structures. We’ll give you a time estimate when we assess the job. The actual grinding is usually faster than homeowners expect – it’s the setup, cleanup, and proper hole filling that take additional time to do the job right.
