Stump Grinding Process Explained

Here's What Actually Happens

We start with a site assessment to identify any underground utilities or obstacles. This prevents damage to your irrigation, electrical, or gas lines that DIY attempts often miss.

The grinding begins at ground level and goes several inches below to ensure the stump won’t regenerate. Our equipment reduces the entire stump and major surface roots to wood chips, eliminating the trip hazards and mowing obstacles.

Cleanup is part of the job. We remove the wood chips unless you want them for mulch, and we fill the depression with topsoil so you can seed or sod immediately. The area is left ready for whatever you’re planning next, not as an ongoing project you have to finish yourself.

We typically grind 6-8 inches below ground level, which is deep enough to prevent regrowth and allow for proper lawn restoration. This depth eliminates the surface root system that causes mowing problems and ensures you can plant grass or other vegetation without interference. For larger stumps or specific landscaping plans, we can go deeper if needed. The goal is complete removal of anything that would cause ongoing issues with your lawn maintenance or future planting.
Our equipment is sized appropriately for residential properties, and we use protective measures to minimize lawn impact. We access the stump using the most direct route possible and can use plywood or other ground protection when necessary. Some minor lawn disturbance is unavoidable with any stump removal method, but we repair what we disturb. The alternative – leaving the stump – causes ongoing damage every time you mow around it or deal with the surface roots. Most customers find the temporary minor impact is worth eliminating the permanent eyesore and hazard.
You have options with the wood chips. We can remove them completely if you want a clean slate for immediate seeding or sodding. Many customers prefer to keep some or all of the chips as mulch for flower beds or around other trees – it’s good quality mulch that would cost money at the garden center. We can spread the chips where you want them or pile them in a convenient location for you to use later. Whatever you don’t want, we haul away as part of the cleanup process.
Stump grinding costs depend on the size, location, and accessibility of the stump. Most residential stumps in Diebertsville range from $150-400 per stump, with larger or more difficult access situations costing more. We provide written estimates that include grinding, cleanup, and site restoration so you know the total cost upfront. Multiple stumps on the same property typically get a per-stump discount. The cost is usually less than what most homeowners expect, especially when you factor in the equipment rental, time, and physical effort required for DIY attempts.
Yes, we have equipment options for confined spaces and can work around structures, fences, and landscaping. Our smaller grinders can fit through standard gate openings and work in areas where larger equipment won’t fit. We assess each situation individually to determine the best approach. Some very tight spaces may require hand work or specialized techniques, which we factor into the estimate. The key is having the right equipment for the specific situation rather than trying to force inappropriate tools into spaces they weren’t designed for.
Most residential stumps take 30-60 minutes to grind completely, depending on size and root system complexity. Larger stumps or those with extensive surface roots may take longer. The total time on your property includes setup, grinding, and cleanup – usually 1-2 hours for a typical job. We don’t rush the process because thorough grinding prevents problems later, but we also don’t drag out what should be efficient work. Weather conditions and ground accessibility can affect timing, which we’ll discuss during the initial assessment.
