Our Stump Grinding Process

Here's Exactly What We Do

First, we assess your stump and the surrounding area. We check for underground utilities, sprinkler systems, and anything else that needs protection. We also determine the best access route for our equipment to minimize impact on your lawn.

Next, we position our professional stump grinder and begin the removal process. We grind the entire stump system – the visible portion plus the root structure – typically 6 to 12 inches below ground level. This ensures complete removal and prevents regrowth.

Finally, we clean up everything. The wood chips can be removed completely, or we can leave them for you to use as mulch in other areas of your property. We rake and level the area, leaving you with clean ground ready for grass seed, sod, or whatever landscaping plans you have in mind.

Stump grinding costs depend on the size and complexity of the job, but most residential stumps in the Mosserville area range from $150 to $500. Small stumps under 12 inches typically cost less, while large stumps from mature trees cost more due to the time and equipment required. We provide upfront estimates so you know exactly what you’ll pay before we start. The price includes complete grinding below ground level and basic cleanup, so there are no surprise charges.
We typically grind stumps 6 to 12 inches below ground level, which is deep enough to prevent regrowth and allow for normal landscaping activities. If you’re planning to plant another tree in the same spot or install hardscaping, we can grind deeper upon request. The depth also depends on the root system – some trees have extensive surface roots that need additional grinding. Our goal is to remove enough of the stump and root structure so it won’t interfere with your future plans for that space.
Professional stump grinding causes minimal damage when done correctly. Our equipment is designed to access stumps while protecting surrounding landscape. We use protective barriers when necessary and choose the best access route to minimize lawn impact. Some minor surface disturbance is normal, but we repair and level the area as part of our cleanup process. If your stump is in a particularly tight space near valuable plants or structures, we have compact equipment designed for challenging locations.
We can handle the wood chips either way – complete removal or leave them for your use. Many homeowners keep the chips for mulch around other trees and garden beds, which is actually a great way to recycle the material. If you don’t want them, we’ll haul everything away and leave you with clean soil. The chips make excellent mulch but shouldn’t be used immediately for planting new grass or plants in the same spot, since fresh wood chips can temporarily affect soil nitrogen levels.
Most residential stumps take 30 minutes to 2 hours to grind completely, depending on size and root complexity. Small stumps from ornamental trees might be finished in 30 minutes, while large stumps from mature oaks or maples can take several hours. The cleanup and site preparation add additional time. We’ll give you a time estimate when we provide your quote, so you can plan accordingly. Weather and soil conditions can also affect timing, but we work efficiently to minimize disruption to your day.
Stump grinding is almost always the better choice for residential properties. Digging out large stumps requires excavating massive root systems, which tears up significant portions of your yard and often damages underground utilities or nearby structures. Grinding is faster, less disruptive, and more cost-effective. The only time complete excavation makes sense is when you’re doing major landscaping that requires deep digging in that exact spot. For most homeowners, professional grinding eliminates the stump problem without creating bigger problems in your yard.
