Our Stump Grinding Process

Simple Process, Professional Results

First, we assess your stump and give you a clear estimate with no surprises. We’ll tell you exactly what we’re going to do and how long it will take.

On service day, we bring professional-grade stump grinding equipment that can handle any size stump. We grind the stump down below ground level – typically 6 to 8 inches below the surface – so it won’t interfere with future planting or construction.

The grinding process creates wood chips, which we can either remove completely or leave for you to use as mulch in your landscaping. We clean up all debris and leave your property looking better than when we arrived. Most residential stumps take just a few hours from start to finish.

Stump grinding costs depend on the size and location of your stump, but most residential jobs in Schnecksville range from $100 to $400. Small stumps under 12 inches typically cost $100-200, while larger stumps can run $200-400 depending on diameter and root system complexity. We provide free estimates so you know exactly what you’ll pay before we start. The price includes grinding below ground level and basic cleanup – no hidden fees or surprise charges after the work is done.
We grind stumps 6 to 8 inches below ground level as standard practice. This depth ensures the stump won’t interfere with grass planting, landscaping, or future construction. If you need deeper grinding for specific projects like foundation work or large tree planting, we can go deeper for an additional cost. The key is getting below the root flare so you have clean soil to work with. Surface grinding that only removes the visible portion leaves you with ongoing problems and regrowth issues.
We can either remove the wood chips completely or leave them for you to use as mulch – your choice. Many homeowners like to keep some chips for landscaping since they make excellent natural mulch for flower beds and around trees. If you don’t want them, we’ll load and haul away all the debris as part of our cleanup service. We can also spread the chips in areas where you want them, like around existing landscaping, to save you time and effort.
Yes, our equipment can handle stumps in tight spaces, including areas close to buildings, fences, and other structures. We use different sized grinders depending on access requirements – smaller units for confined spaces and larger equipment for open areas. We’re careful to protect your property during the grinding process and have the experience to work around obstacles safely. The key is having proper access for our equipment, which we’ll assess during the initial estimate to make sure we can complete the job without issues.
Most single residential stumps take 1-3 hours to grind and clean up completely. Small stumps under 12 inches might take just an hour, while large stumps over 24 inches can take several hours depending on the root system. Multiple stumps obviously take longer, but we can often handle several in the same day. Weather and soil conditions can affect timing, but we’ll give you a realistic timeframe when we provide your estimate so you can plan accordingly.
Stump grinding is usually the better choice for most homeowners because it’s faster, less expensive, and doesn’t destroy your landscaping. Complete stump removal requires digging up the entire root system, which means heavy excavation, landscape damage, and a much higher cost. Grinding removes the stump below ground level and eliminates regrowth without the mess and expense of full excavation. The only time full removal makes sense is for major construction projects where you need the entire root system gone.
