Stump Grinding Process Hamilton Park

Here's Exactly What Happens

First, we assess the stump and check for any underground utilities or obstacles. This takes about five minutes and prevents problems that could cost you time and money later.

Next, we position our grinder and start working from the outside edges toward the center. The machine grinds the stump down to 6-8 inches below ground level, which is deep enough to prevent regrowth and allow for normal landscaping or grass planting.

The grinding process creates wood chips, which we either remove completely or leave for you to use as mulch if you prefer. We rake the area clean, fill any depression with soil, and leave your yard looking like the stump was never there. Most residential stumps take 30-60 minutes from start to finish.

Stump grinding typically costs $75-$400 per stump depending on diameter and location. Smaller stumps under 12 inches usually run $75-$150, while larger stumps 24+ inches can cost $200-$400. The exact price depends on how accessible the stump is and whether there are utilities or landscaping to work around. We provide upfront quotes that include all grinding, cleanup, and debris removal so you know exactly what you’re paying before we start.
We grind stumps 6-8 inches below ground level as standard practice. This depth prevents regrowth and allows you to plant grass, flowers, or even small shrubs in the area later. Going deeper than 8 inches usually isn’t necessary and can actually create drainage issues in some soil types. If you’re planning to plant a large tree in the same spot, we can grind deeper for an additional cost, but most homeowners find our standard depth works perfectly for their needs.
Yes, complete cleanup is included in every job unless you specifically want to keep the wood chips. Many homeowners like to use fresh wood chips as mulch around other trees or in flower beds, so we always ask your preference before starting. If you want them removed, we haul everything away and leave the area clean and level. If you keep them, we’ll pile them neatly wherever you’d like them on your property.
Most residential stumps take 30-60 minutes to grind completely, including setup and cleanup. Smaller stumps under 12 inches might only take 15-20 minutes, while large stumps over 30 inches can take 90 minutes or more. The time also depends on root system complexity and how close we can get our equipment to the stump. We’ll give you a time estimate when we provide your quote so you can plan accordingly.
Yes, we regularly handle stumps in tight spaces near houses, fences, and other structures. Our equipment can work in spaces as narrow as 36 inches, and we use protective barriers when necessary to prevent damage to nearby structures. We’ve ground stumps right next to foundations, between houses, and in fenced backyards throughout Hamilton Park. If there’s any concern about access or potential damage, we’ll discuss it during the initial assessment and explain exactly how we’ll protect your property.
We take precautions to minimize lawn and landscaping damage during every job. Our equipment uses rubber tracks instead of steel, which reduces ground pressure and turf damage. We also lay down protective mats in soft or wet conditions. Some minor cleanup might be needed in the immediate area around the stump, but we don’t leave ruts or major damage. Any small divots or disturbed areas are repaired as part of our cleanup process. Most customers are surprised at how little impact there is on the surrounding landscape.
