Professional stump grinding that actually gets below ground level—no regrowth, no mess, no excuses.
You know that feeling when you’re mowing around that stump for the hundredth time, or when guests keep asking about the dead tree remnant in your front yard. It’s frustrating because everything else looks great, but that one stump ruins the whole picture.
Here’s what changes after professional stump grinding. You can actually use your entire yard. No more awkward landscaping around obstacles or explaining to neighbors why you haven’t dealt with it yet. Your mower goes straight across. Kids can play without tripping hazards. The space looks intentional again.
The difference isn’t just visual—it’s practical. You reclaim square footage that was essentially useless before. Property value goes up because buyers see a well-maintained landscape, not deferred maintenance. And you stop worrying about the pest problems and fungal issues that come with rotting wood sitting in your soil.
ABE Tree Service has been handling stump grinding in Notre Dame Hills and the broader Lehigh Valley for years. Our team knows this area—the soil conditions, the tree species, the local regulations that matter when you’re doing this work properly.
What sets us apart is straightforward: we show up when scheduled, use professional-grade equipment that actually gets the job done right, and we clean up completely before leaving. No shortcuts, no surprises on the bill, no damage to your surrounding landscape.
Our technicians are licensed and insured, which matters more than most people realize until something goes wrong. You’re not dealing with someone who rented equipment for the weekend—we’re professionals who do this work every day and stand behind our results.
First, our team assesses your specific stump situation. Size, location, root system, and any nearby utilities or landscaping that needs protection. This isn’t a one-size-fits-all process—different stumps require different approaches.
The actual grinding uses specialized equipment that reduces the stump to wood chips, going several inches below ground level. This depth matters because it prevents regrowth and gives you clean soil for whatever comes next. The surrounding area gets protected throughout the process so your existing plants and hardscaping stay intact.
Cleanup is part of our service, not an extra charge. You choose whether you want the wood chips removed completely or left for mulch. The area gets leveled and prepared for grass seed or whatever landscaping plans you have. When our crew leaves, you have usable space where that stump used to sit.

Our stump grinding service includes the complete removal process from start to finish. We bring professional-grade equipment capable of handling stumps of any reasonable size, from small ornamental trees to large oak or maple remnants that have been sitting in your yard for months.
Site protection is standard—your surrounding landscape, walkways, and structures stay undamaged throughout the process. Our grinding goes deep enough to prevent regrowth, typically 6-8 inches below ground level depending on the specific situation and your future plans for the space.
Debris removal and site cleanup are part of our base service. You get to choose whether the wood chips get hauled away or left on-site for your use as mulch. The work area gets leveled and prepared for whatever comes next, whether that’s grass seed, new plantings, or hardscaping. Emergency and same-day service options are available when you’re dealing with time-sensitive situations like property sales or HOA requirements.
