Stump Grinding Process

Simple Process, Complete Results

We start with a quick assessment of your stump and surrounding area. This tells us which equipment to use and how to protect your existing landscaping.

The grinding itself is methodical. We work the stump down in stages, going well below ground level to prevent regrowth. Our equipment is designed to minimize ground disturbance while maximizing stump removal.

Cleanup happens as we go. Wood chips get collected and removed unless you’d prefer to keep them for mulch. We rake and level the area, leaving you with clean soil ready for grass seed or whatever you have planned next.

Complete Stump Removal

Everything Included, Nothing Extra

Your stump grinding service includes complete removal below ground level, not just surface grinding. We handle stumps from small ornamental trees to massive oaks that have been growing for decades.

Emergency situations get priority scheduling. Storm damage, insurance requirements, or urgent property preparation – we understand when you need it done now, not next week.

We grind stumps 6-8 inches below ground level as standard practice. This depth prevents regrowth and allows you to plant grass, install landscaping, or even build over the area without issues. For construction projects, we can go deeper if needed. The key is getting below the root crown where new growth originates. Surface-level grinding might look finished, but you’ll have problems later when shoots start appearing.
Wood chips get removed completely unless you specifically want to keep them for mulch around other plants. Most customers prefer clean soil, so we haul everything away and level the area with topsoil. If you do want the chips, we’ll pile them neatly wherever you specify. Either way, you won’t be left with a mess to deal with. The area gets raked clean and ready for immediate use.
Yes, our equipment is designed for tight spaces and precision work. We regularly handle stumps within a few feet of houses, fences, driveways, and other structures. The key is using the right size grinder for the space and having operators who know how to work carefully around obstacles. We’ll assess the situation during our estimate to confirm accessibility and discuss any special precautions needed for your specific setup.
Most single stumps take 30-60 minutes depending on size and root system complexity. A typical residential stump (12-24 inches diameter) usually takes about 45 minutes from setup to cleanup. Larger stumps or multiple stumps obviously take longer. We can give you a more specific timeframe during the estimate once we see what we’re working with. Weather and ground conditions can affect timing, but we work efficiently to minimize disruption to your day.
Same-day service is available for urgent situations, especially storm damage or insurance-related needs. We keep our schedule flexible enough to handle emergencies when possible. For routine stump grinding, we typically schedule within a few days of your call. The best approach is to call us directly – we’ll let you know immediately what our availability looks like and whether we can accommodate your timeline.
Renting a stump grinder costs $200-400 per day, plus fuel, plus your time and effort. Professional service typically costs about the same or less when you factor in the rental, fuel, and your time. The bigger difference is results and safety. Our commercial equipment removes stumps completely in one pass, while rental units often require multiple sessions and still leave significant root systems. Plus, you avoid the safety risks of operating unfamiliar heavy equipment around your property.
