Our Stump Grinding Process

Here's Exactly What Happens

First, we assess your stump and the surrounding area to determine the best approach. We check for underground utilities, sprinkler systems, or other obstacles that need to be worked around.

Then we bring in our stump grinder and systematically grind the stump down to 6-8 inches below ground level. This ensures you can plant or build over the area without hitting leftover wood. We work carefully around your landscaping and other property features.

Finally, 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 a clean space ready for whatever you have planned next.

We grind stumps 6-8 inches below the soil surface as our standard practice. This depth ensures you can plant grass, flowers, or even small shrubs directly over the area without hitting leftover wood. If you’re planning to build a structure or plant a large tree in the same spot, we can grind deeper – just let us know your plans when we provide the estimate. Going below ground level is crucial because it prevents new growth from sprouting and gives you complete use of the space.
You have two options with the wood chips. Many homeowners like to keep them as free mulch for their gardens and landscaping – fresh wood chips are excellent for retaining moisture and suppressing weeds around plants. If you don’t want the chips, we’ll load them up and haul them away as part of our cleanup service. We can also spread them evenly in the hole and cover with topsoil if you want the area ready for immediate seeding. Just tell us your preference when we schedule the work.
Stump grinding costs depend on the size of the stump, its location, and how accessible it is for our equipment. Most residential stumps in Charlotte’s Neighborhood range from $75 to $300 per stump. Larger stumps from mature trees cost more, while smaller ornamental tree stumps cost less. We provide upfront estimates with no hidden fees – the price we quote includes grinding, cleanup, and debris removal or spreading. Multiple stumps on the same property often qualify for volume pricing, which can reduce your per-stump cost.
Yes, we can safely grind stumps close to buildings, fences, and other structures. Our equipment is designed to work in tight spaces, and our operators have experience navigating around property features without causing damage. We take extra precautions when working near structures, including using protective barriers and adjusting our grinding technique to control debris. Before starting any job, we assess the area and discuss any concerns you might have about nearby structures, utilities, or landscaping that needs protection.
Most single stumps take 30 minutes to 2 hours to grind completely, depending on size and root system complexity. Small stumps from ornamental trees might take just 15-30 minutes, while large oak or maple stumps can take 2-3 hours. Multiple stumps obviously take longer, but we can usually handle several in one visit. The cleanup process adds another 15-30 minutes per stump. We’ll give you a time estimate when we provide your quote, and we always work efficiently to minimize disruption to your day.
Absolutely. Storm damage creates urgent safety hazards, and we prioritize emergency calls for dangerous stumps blocking driveways, near power lines, or creating immediate trip hazards. We typically respond to emergency calls within 24 hours, often the same day if you call early enough. Emergency service may include additional charges for after-hours or weekend work, but we’re upfront about any premium pricing. Our goal is getting your property safe and accessible again as quickly as possible, especially after severe weather events that are common in the Charlotte’s Neighborhood area.
