Stump Grinding Process Explained

Simple Process, Complete Results

We start by assessing your stump and the surrounding area to determine the best approach. Our professional-grade stump grinder reduces the stump to wood chips, grinding 6-8 inches below ground level to prevent regrowth.

The grinding process is precise, so we can work around landscaping, fences, and other features without damage. We remove all the wood chips unless you want to keep them for mulch, then level and clean the area completely.

Most residential stumps take 30 minutes to 2 hours depending on size and root system. You’ll have a clean, level area ready for immediate use when we’re finished.

Stump grinding costs depend on the stump’s diameter, location, and root system complexity. Most residential stumps in Sterlingworth range from $100-400 per stump. We provide free estimates that include the grinding, cleanup, and basic leveling, so you know exactly what you’re paying upfront. Multiple stumps often qualify for volume discounts, and we can usually give you an accurate estimate over the phone if you can measure the stump’s diameter.
Professional stump grinding is designed to minimize lawn and landscape damage. Our equipment allows precise control, so we can work around flower beds, fences, and other features safely. There will be some temporary disturbance to the immediate area around the stump, but we level and clean the site when finished. Any minor lawn damage typically recovers quickly, especially during growing season. We take care to protect sprinkler systems and underground utilities by having you mark their locations beforehand.
We grind stumps 6-8 inches below ground level as standard practice. This depth prevents regrowth and allows you to plant grass or other vegetation over the area immediately. If you’re planning to plant a new tree in the same spot, we can grind deeper to accommodate the new root system. The grinding removes the main root ball and major surface roots, though some smaller roots may remain and will decompose naturally over time.
Yes, we can handle stumps in most tight spaces, including areas near buildings, fences, and between houses. Our equipment includes smaller grinders for confined areas where larger machines won’t fit. We need at least 3 feet of clearance to maneuver equipment safely, and we’ll assess access during the estimate. Stumps very close to foundations or in extremely tight spots may require hand tools or specialized techniques, which we’ll discuss upfront so there are no surprises.
We offer same-day stump grinding when our schedule permits, especially for emergency situations like storm damage where stumps create safety hazards or block access. Emergency services are available for situations where fallen trees have been cut but stumps remain dangerous or problematic. For routine stump grinding, we typically schedule within a few days of your call. During storm season, emergency calls take priority, but we work to accommodate urgent requests whenever possible.
We remove all wood chips and debris as part of our standard service, leaving you with a clean, level area. However, many homeowners choose to keep some or all of the wood chips for mulch in flower beds or around other trees. The chips make excellent organic mulch and can save you money on landscaping materials. Just let us know your preference when we provide the estimate, and we’ll either haul away all debris or leave the amount of chips you want in a neat pile where you specify.
