Our Stump Grinding Process

Simple Process, Complete Results

First, we assess your stump and the surrounding area. We check for underground utilities, sprinkler lines, and plan our approach to protect your landscape.

Then we bring in our professional grinding equipment. We grind the stump down below ground level – typically 6 to 8 inches down – so you can plant grass or whatever else you want in that spot.

After grinding, we clean up all the wood chips and debris. You can keep the chips for mulch if you want them, or we’ll haul everything away. Either way, you’re left with clean ground ready for your next step.

Everything Included, Nothing Extra

Our service includes site assessment, complete stump grinding, root grinding in the immediate area, and full cleanup. We protect your surrounding landscape and leave your property cleaner than we found it.

We typically grind stumps 6 to 8 inches below ground level, which is deep enough for you to plant grass, flowers, or even small shrubs in that area. If you’re planning to plant a new tree in the same spot, we can grind deeper to make sure there’s no interference with new root growth. The depth depends on what you want to do with the space afterward, and we’ll adjust our approach based on your plans.
We take precautions to protect your existing landscape. Our equipment is designed to access stumps without tearing up your yard, and we use protective barriers when working near flower beds or other plantings. There might be some minor ground disturbance immediately around the stump area – that’s unavoidable – but we’re not driving heavy machinery across your entire lawn. We plan our access route carefully and restore any areas that get disturbed during the process.
You get to choose. Many homeowners like to keep some of the wood chips for mulch around trees and flower beds – they’re actually great for that purpose. We can pile them wherever you want on your property. If you don’t want them, we’ll load them up and haul them away as part of our cleanup. Either way, we don’t just leave a pile of chips in the middle of your yard and call it done.
Most residential stumps take 30 minutes to 2 hours to grind completely, depending on the size and type of tree. A small dogwood or cherry tree stump might be done in half an hour, while a large oak stump that’s been sitting for years could take a couple hours. We can usually handle multiple stumps in the same visit if you have several that need removal. The actual grinding is just part of the time – we also factor in setup, cleanup, and making sure the area is left properly.
Yes, we can handle stumps in tight spaces, though the approach might be different than stumps in open yard areas. We have smaller equipment for confined areas and techniques for working around structures, utilities, and property lines. We’ll assess the situation during our estimate to make sure we can access the stump safely and effectively. Sometimes stumps near buildings or fences actually require more precision, not less – and that’s something we handle regularly.
