Our Stump Grinding Process

How We Get Stumps Out Completely

First, we assess the stump size, root system, and surrounding area to determine the best approach. We mark any underground utilities and protect nearby plants or structures that need to stay put.

Then we bring in professional stump grinding equipment – not the small rental units that take forever and leave half the job undone. Our grinders cut stumps down below ground level, typically 6-8 inches, which prevents regrowth and allows for proper landscaping later.

We grind out the major roots in the area, not just the visible stump. This eliminates the underground network that could cause problems later. Finally, we clean up all the wood chips and debris, leaving you with level ground ready for grass seed, new plants, or whatever you have planned. The whole process usually takes a few hours, depending on stump size, and you can use the area immediately.

Complete Stump Removal Package

Everything Included, No Surprises

When we grind your stump, you get complete removal down to 6-8 inches below ground level. That’s deep enough to prevent regrowth and allow normal landscaping. We handle stumps of any size, from small ornamental trees to massive oaks that have been around for decades.

The service includes grinding out major surface roots, not just the main stump. We also provide complete cleanup – all wood chips and debris removed unless you want to keep the chips for mulch. Your property is left level and ready to use.

We work around your schedule and protect your existing landscaping during the process. Our equipment is sized appropriately for residential properties, so we can access tight spaces without tearing up your lawn. Emergency stump removal is available for situations where stumps create immediate safety hazards or block necessary access.

Stump grinding costs vary based on stump diameter, location accessibility, and root complexity. Most residential stumps in Rextown range from $150-$400 per stump. Larger stumps or those in difficult locations cost more, while small stumps under 12 inches are typically on the lower end. We provide upfront pricing with no hidden fees – the quote includes grinding, root removal, and complete cleanup. Multiple stumps often qualify for package pricing that reduces the per-stump cost.
We grind stumps 6-8 inches below ground level as standard practice. This depth prevents regrowth, eliminates the visible stump completely, and allows for normal landscaping activities like planting grass or installing new plants. Going deeper is possible when needed for specific projects, such as installing pools or building structures. The depth we achieve also ensures you can mow over the area without hitting any remaining wood, and there won’t be settling issues as the remaining roots decompose underground.
Professional stump grinding causes minimal lawn damage when done correctly. We use track-mounted equipment that distributes weight evenly and access the stump via the most direct route to minimize lawn contact. Nearby plants and landscaping are protected with barriers when necessary. Any minor lawn disturbance from equipment access typically recovers quickly, especially during growing season. We’re careful around irrigation systems, underground utilities, and established garden beds. The alternative – leaving stumps to rot naturally – often causes more long-term damage from pest infestations and root decay.
Most residential stumps take 30 minutes to 2 hours to grind completely, depending on size and root system complexity. Small stumps under 12 inches diameter are usually finished in 30-45 minutes. Medium stumps take 1-2 hours. Large stumps from mature trees can take 2-4 hours, especially if there’s extensive root system grinding required. Setup and cleanup add about 30 minutes to the total time. We schedule jobs with realistic timeframes so you know what to expect, and we work efficiently to minimize disruption to your day.
Wood chips from stump grinding can be removed completely or left for you to use as mulch, depending on your preference. Many homeowners keep some chips for landscaping and have us remove the excess. Fresh wood chips make excellent mulch for flower beds and around trees, though they should age for a few months before using around vegetables. If you don’t want any chips, we remove everything and leave the area level and clean. We can also spread chips in designated areas of your property if you want them for specific landscaping projects.
Yes, we can grind stumps in tight spaces near buildings, fences, and other structures. Our equipment includes smaller grinders designed for confined areas where large machines won’t fit. We take extra precautions near structures, including protective barriers and careful debris management to prevent damage. Stumps within a few feet of foundations, pools, or utility lines require special attention, but they’re definitely manageable with the right equipment and experience. We assess each situation individually to determine the best approach and let you know if any special considerations are needed.
