Stump Grinding Process

Simple Process, Professional Results

We assess the stump size and location, then bring the right equipment for the job. Our grinder reduces the entire stump and major roots to wood chips, going 6-8 inches below ground level.

The grinding process typically takes 30 minutes to 2 hours depending on the stump size and root system. We work carefully around your existing landscaping and utilities.

After grinding, we rake out the larger wood chips and level the area with topsoil. You can seed immediately or use the space however you planned. The remaining fine wood chips actually help the soil as they decompose.

We grind 6-8 inches below ground level, which eliminates regrowth and allows you to plant grass or other vegetation immediately. This depth gets the main root crown that causes new shoots to sprout up. Going deeper isn’t usually necessary and can damage underground utilities. If you’re planning construction in that area, we can go deeper upon request, but we’ll need to verify utility locations first.
We remove the larger wood chips and debris as part of our cleanup service. The fine wood chips that remain actually benefit your soil as they decompose, adding organic matter. We level the area with topsoil so you can seed immediately. If you want to keep some wood chips for mulch around other plants, just let us know and we’ll pile them where you want them.
Yes, our equipment can handle stumps within 3 feet of structures, fences, or other landscaping. We use smaller grinders for tight spaces and work carefully to avoid damage to your property. We’ll assess the location during our estimate and let you know if there are any access issues. Most residential stumps are accessible with our equipment, even in backyard locations.
Stump grinding typically costs 60-70% less than full excavation and doesn’t destroy your surrounding landscape. Digging requires heavy machinery that tears up your yard and often damages underground utilities or irrigation systems. Grinding is faster, cleaner, and more cost-effective for most residential situations. We charge based on stump diameter and location, with most residential stumps ranging from $150-400.
Our equipment is designed to minimize lawn damage. We use plywood or mats to protect your grass when necessary and choose the smallest grinder that can handle your stump size. There will be some minor disturbance in the immediate area, but nothing like the damage caused by digging out a stump. Most lawns recover completely within a few weeks, especially if you seed the area afterward.
Most residential stumps take 30 minutes to 2 hours depending on size, species, and root system complexity. Oak and maple stumps with extensive roots take longer than pine or smaller trees. We can usually handle 2-3 average stumps in a single visit. Large stumps over 30 inches in diameter or those with significant root systems may require a full morning or afternoon to complete properly.
