Your Property, Finally Usable Again

That stump isn’t just an eyesore. It’s stealing usable space from your yard, creating hazards every time you mow, and giving pests a place to call home.

When we’re done, you’ll have a clean, level surface ready for whatever comes next. Plant grass, expand your garden, or just enjoy not having to navigate around that thing every time you’re outside. The entire stump gets ground down below soil level, so there’s no evidence it was ever there.

You’ll also eliminate the safety risks that come with stumps – no more worrying about guests tripping or damaging your mower. Plus, grinding removes the root system that attracts termites, carpenter ants, and other pests that can eventually target your home.

Finally, we clean up all the wood chips and debris, leaving you with a clean area ready for your next project. You can use the wood chips as mulch if you want them, or we’ll haul everything away – your choice.

Stump grinding costs depend on the size and complexity of the job, but most residential stumps in the Egypt area range from $150 to $500. Small stumps under 12 inches typically cost less, while large stumps over 24 inches or those in difficult locations cost more. We provide upfront pricing after seeing the stump, so you know exactly what you’re paying before we start. The price includes complete grinding below soil level and cleanup, so there are no surprise charges.
We grind stumps 6-8 inches below the soil surface, which completely severs the root system and prevents regrowth. This depth is sufficient for replanting grass, installing landscaping, or any other typical yard use. Going deeper isn’t usually necessary and can actually create drainage issues in Pennsylvania’s clay soils. If you have specific plans that require deeper grinding, we can accommodate that, but standard depth works for 95% of situations and ensures the stump won’t return.
Yes, we regularly handle stumps in tight spaces, near foundations, and around other structures throughout the Egypt area. Our equipment includes smaller grinders that can access areas where larger machines won’t fit. We take precautions to protect your property, including using plywood shields when necessary and working carefully around utilities, septic systems, and landscaping. Before starting, we’ll assess the area and explain our approach so you’re comfortable with the plan.
You have options with the wood chips. Many homeowners keep them as mulch for landscaping – they’re excellent for flower beds and around trees. If you don’t want them, we’ll haul them away as part of our cleanup service. We can also spread them in wooded areas of your property if you prefer. The chips are clean and chemical-free, so they’re safe to use anywhere on your property. We’ll discuss your preference before starting the job.
Most single stump grinding jobs take 30 minutes to 2 hours, depending on the stump size and location. Small stumps under 12 inches might take just 15-30 minutes, while large stumps over 30 inches can take several hours. Multiple stumps obviously take longer, but we can usually complete several in a single visit. We’ll give you a time estimate when we provide your quote. Weather and ground conditions can affect timing, but we work efficiently to minimize disruption to your day.
Yes, we provide emergency stump removal when stumps create immediate safety hazards or block access to your property. This includes stumps from storm-damaged trees, stumps that have shifted and created tripping hazards, or situations where stumps are preventing emergency access. We understand that some situations can’t wait for regular scheduling, especially in Pennsylvania where weather can create urgent tree-related problems. Contact us directly for emergency situations and we’ll prioritize your needs.
