Professional stump grinding that eliminates eyesores, safety hazards, and pest problems for good.
You know that stump is a problem. It’s killing your curb appeal, making yard work a nightmare, and probably attracting every ant and termite in the neighborhood.
Here’s what changes after we grind it out. Your mower glides across smooth grass instead of weaving around obstacles. Kids can play without tripping hazards. Your landscaping looks intentional instead of interrupted.
The space opens up for whatever you actually want there – more grass, a garden bed, or just clean, usable yard. No more explaining to neighbors why you’ve got a rotting stump centerpiece. No more carpenter ants setting up shop in decaying wood.
ABE Tree Service has been handling stump grinding throughout the Switzer area for years. We understand how Pennsylvania soil behaves, what equipment works best in our climate, and how to get stumps out without turning your yard into a construction zone.
Our team shows up with professional-grade grinders, not rental equipment that barely scratches the surface. We grind below ground level, clean up the mess, and leave your property better than we found it.
You’re dealing with local guys who live in this area and have to see you at the grocery store. That matters when you want the job done right.
First, we assess the stump size, location, and any obstacles like utilities or landscaping that need protection. This determines which equipment we bring and how we approach the job.
Next, we position our grinder and systematically grind the stump down to 6-8 inches below ground level. This goes deeper than surface grinding – deep enough that grass will grow over it naturally. We work in sections, controlling dust and debris throughout the process.
Finally, we rake up all wood chips and debris, leaving you with a clean hole that’s ready for topsoil and grass seed. The whole process typically takes 30 minutes to 2 hours depending on stump size. You get your Saturday back instead of wrestling with rental equipment that might not even work.

Your stump grinding service includes complete removal below ground level, not just surface grinding that leaves problems underground. We bring commercial-grade equipment that handles any size stump efficiently.
Cleanup is part of the deal. We rake and remove all wood chips and debris, leaving you with a clean area ready for whatever comes next. No surprise charges for cleanup that should have been included from the start.
We also protect your surrounding landscape during the process. Sprinkler heads, flower beds, and grass areas stay intact. This isn’t a demolition job – it’s precision work that solves your stump problem without creating new ones.
