Stump Grinding Process

Here's Exactly What Happens

First, we assess your stumps and mark any underground utilities or sprinkler lines. Safety comes before speed, every time. We position our professional stump grinder and begin removing the stump systematically, grinding 6-8 inches below ground level.

The machine chips away the entire stump and major root system, turning everything into mulch. We don’t just grind the surface – we go deep enough to prevent regrowth and allow for proper landscaping later.

After grinding, we rake up the wood chips and debris, leaving you with clean soil ready for grass seed or new plantings. You can use the wood chips as mulch if you want them, or we’ll haul everything away. Your choice, no extra charge for cleanup.

Complete Stump Removal

What's Included Every Time

Every stump grinding job includes complete removal below ground level, not just surface work. We grind the main root system to prevent new growth and eliminate the pest-attracting wood that draws termites and carpenter ants.

All debris gets cleaned up and removed unless you want to keep the wood chips for mulch. We level the area with clean soil so you can seed grass immediately or plan landscaping without dealing with settling or uneven ground later.

Emergency stump removal available for storm damage or urgent situations. Same-day service when possible, because we know property issues don’t wait for convenient timing. Competitive pricing that makes sense compared to equipment rental plus your time and effort.

We grind stumps 6-8 inches below ground level as standard practice. This depth ensures the stump won’t interfere with grass growth, landscaping, or construction projects. It also prevents most regrowth since we’re removing the energy-producing portion of the root system. For areas where you’re planning to build structures or plant large trees, we can go deeper if needed. The goal is making sure your stump problem is solved permanently, not just temporarily hidden.
Our professional equipment is designed for precision work without unnecessary property damage. We use track-mounted grinders that distribute weight evenly and minimize lawn damage. For stumps near flower beds or valuable plants, we take extra precautions with protective barriers and careful positioning. Some minor lawn disturbance is normal – we’re operating heavy equipment – but we repair any significant damage and clean up completely. Most clients are surprised how clean the work area looks when we’re finished.
You have two options with the wood chips created during stump grinding. We can haul them away completely, leaving you with clean soil ready for grass seed or landscaping. Or you can keep them for mulch around trees and flower beds – they make excellent natural mulch that suppresses weeds and retains moisture. Most homeowners choose to keep some chips for landscaping and have us remove the excess. Either way, there’s no additional charge for cleanup and removal.
Professional stump grinding typically costs less than you’d expect, especially when you factor in equipment rental, fuel, your time, and the learning curve involved. Stump grinder rentals run $200-400 per day, plus fuel and potential damage costs if something goes wrong. Most homeowners spend a full weekend removing one or two stumps. We can handle multiple stumps in a few hours with professional results. You also get the benefit of proper cleanup, insurance coverage, and guaranteed results without the physical strain or safety risks.
Yes, we have equipment sized for different access situations. Our smaller track units can fit through standard fence gates and work in tight spaces between buildings or near property lines. For extremely confined areas, we have specialized equipment that can handle stumps just a few feet from foundations or in corners where larger machines won’t fit. We assess each site individually to determine the best approach. Very rarely do we encounter a stump we can’t remove, though extremely tight access may affect pricing.
You can have stumps ground immediately after tree removal, or wait months – it doesn’t matter for the grinding process. However, waiting has some drawbacks. Fresh stumps attract insects faster, and you’re stuck working around them for lawn care and landscaping. If you’re planning to seed grass or do landscaping work, sooner is better since it gives you a full growing season to establish new plants. For storm-damaged trees, we often coordinate with tree removal crews to handle everything in one visit, which saves you time and often money.
