Our Stump Grinding Process

Simple Process, Professional Results

First, we assess your stump and the surrounding area to determine the best approach. We’ll identify any underground utilities, sprinkler lines, or landscaping features that need protection during the grinding process.

Next, we position our professional stump grinder and systematically grind the stump down to 6-8 inches below ground level. This ensures complete removal and prevents any regrowth issues down the road.

Finally, we clean up all the wood chips and debris. You can keep the wood chips for mulch if you want them, or we’ll haul everything away. When we’re done, you’ll have a clean area ready for grass seed, new landscaping, or whatever you have planned for that space.
