Stump Grinding Process

How We Remove Your Stump

First, we assess the stump and surrounding area. We check for utilities, sprinkler lines, and anything else that could be damaged. We also look at access routes to minimize impact on your lawn and landscaping.

Then we bring in our professional grinding equipment. We grind the stump down several inches below ground level – not just flush with the surface where it can regrow. The grinding process turns the stump into wood chips that can be used as mulch or removed entirely, depending on what you prefer.

Finally, we clean up completely. All debris gets removed unless you want to keep the wood chips. We rake the area clean and leave your yard ready for whatever comes next – whether that’s new sod, landscaping, or just having a clean, obstacle-free lawn.

Complete Stump Removal Service

What's Included in Our Service

You get complete stump removal – we grind below ground level to prevent regrowth and eliminate the entire root crown. This isn’t a surface-level job that leaves you with problems later.

Our service includes all cleanup and debris removal. We don’t grind your stump and leave you with a pile of wood chips to deal with unless that’s what you want. Most customers prefer complete removal, and that’s exactly what we provide.

We also protect your property during the process. Our equipment operators know how to access tight spaces without damaging your lawn, driveway, or existing landscaping. We’ve been doing this long enough to know that getting the stump out is only half the job – leaving your property in better condition than we found it is the other half.

We grind stumps 6-8 inches below ground level as our standard practice. This depth ensures the stump won’t regrow and allows you to plant new grass, install landscaping, or build structures over the area without hitting remaining wood. Some companies only grind flush with the surface, which can lead to regrowth and ongoing problems. Going below ground level eliminates the root crown completely and gives you a clean slate for whatever you want to do with that space.
Our operators are trained to minimize lawn damage during stump removal. We use equipment sized appropriately for the access route and take steps to protect surrounding grass and plants. While some minor surface disruption is normal with any stump grinding, we avoid the heavy rutting and lawn destruction that can happen with inexperienced operators or oversized equipment. We also clean up completely and can provide guidance on reseeding or sodding the area if needed. Most customers are surprised at how little collateral damage occurs when the job is done properly.
Most single stumps take 30 minutes to 2 hours depending on size, species, and location. Larger stumps or those in tight spaces take longer, while smaller stumps can be removed quickly. Oak and other hardwood stumps require more time than softer wood species. Multiple stumps can usually be handled in the same visit, which is more efficient and cost-effective than separate trips. We provide time estimates when we give you a quote so you know what to expect and can plan accordingly.
You can keep the wood chips for mulch around other trees and landscaping, or we can remove them completely – your choice. Fresh wood chips make excellent mulch and can save you money on landscaping materials. However, many customers prefer complete removal to have a clean area ready for grass or new plantings. If you’re planning to replant in that exact spot, we typically recommend removal since fresh wood chips can temporarily affect soil nitrogen levels as they decompose.
Yes, we provide emergency stump removal services when storms damage trees and create immediate safety hazards. Storm-damaged trees often leave stumps in dangerous locations – near walkways, driveways, or structures where they pose trip hazards or block access. We understand these situations need quick attention, especially when stumps are blocking your driveway or creating liability concerns. Emergency service may involve additional costs due to urgent scheduling, but we work with customers to address safety hazards promptly and professionally.
Stump grinding costs depend on stump size, location, and accessibility. Smaller stumps typically cost less than larger ones, and stumps in open areas cost less than those requiring special access or tight maneuvering. We provide upfront estimates based on these factors so you know exactly what you’re paying before we start work. Most customers find professional stump grinding more affordable than they expected, especially when compared to equipment rental costs and the time investment of DIY removal. We’re happy to provide a free estimate for your specific situation.
