Our Stump Grinding Process

Here's Exactly What We Do

First, we assess the stump size, root system, and surrounding area to determine the right approach and equipment. We mark utilities and protect nearby plants, structures, or hardscaping that need to stay intact.

Then we grind the stump down to 6-8 inches below ground level using professional-grade equipment. This goes deep enough to prevent regrowth and allow for proper landscaping later. We work systematically to remove all major roots in the immediate area.

Finally, we clean up completely. Wood chips can be hauled away or left for you to use as mulch, depending on your preference. The hole gets backfilled with soil, and we rake the area smooth. You’re left with a clean, level surface ready for whatever comes next.

Complete Stump Removal Solutions

What's Included in Every Job

Every stump grinding job includes complete removal below ground level, not just surface cutting. We bring the right equipment for your specific situation, whether it’s a small ornamental tree stump or a massive oak that’s been sitting in your yard for months.

You get proper cleanup as part of the service. We don’t just grind and leave. Wood chips are handled according to your preference, holes are backfilled with quality soil, and the work area is left clean and level.

We also handle the unexpected issues that come up during stump removal. Sometimes there are buried utilities, irrigation lines, or root systems that extend further than expected. We deal with these complications professionally so you don’t have to worry about additional problems or costs.

We grind stumps 6-8 inches below ground level as our standard practice. This depth prevents regrowth and allows you to plant grass, install landscaping, or build over the area without issues. If you need deeper grinding for specific construction or landscaping plans, we can accommodate that. The key is going deep enough that you never have to deal with that stump again, which surface-level cutting simply doesn’t accomplish.
You choose what happens to the wood chips. We can haul them away completely if you want a clean slate, or leave them for you to use as mulch around other plants and trees. Fresh wood chips make excellent mulch for flower beds, around shrubs, or in garden areas. If you only want some of the chips, we can leave a specified amount and remove the rest. The choice is yours, and it’s included in our service either way.
Yes, we have equipment specifically designed for tight spaces and areas close to buildings, fences, or other structures. Our smaller grinders can access areas that larger equipment can’t reach, and we take extra precautions to protect nearby structures from debris. We’ll assess the situation beforehand and let you know exactly how we’ll approach the job safely. Most stumps can be removed regardless of location, though the process might take a bit longer in very confined spaces.
Most single stumps take 30 minutes to 2 hours depending on size and complexity. A typical residential stump from a moderate-sized tree usually takes about an hour including setup and cleanup. Larger stumps from mature trees, or multiple stumps, will take longer. We’ll give you a realistic time estimate when we assess the job. The actual grinding goes fairly quickly, but proper preparation and cleanup are important parts of doing the job right.
Stump grinding is almost always the better choice for residential properties. Manual excavation requires heavy equipment, creates massive holes, and often damages surrounding landscape, driveways, or utilities. Grinding removes the stump completely without tearing up your entire yard. It’s faster, cleaner, and much less disruptive to your property. The only time manual removal makes sense is in very specific construction situations where the entire root system must be extracted.
Yes, we offer emergency stump removal when stumps create immediate safety hazards or block access to your property. This typically happens after storm damage when trees fall and leave dangerous stump situations, or when stumps interfere with urgent repairs or construction. We prioritize emergency calls and can usually respond the same day or next day depending on the situation. Emergency service does carry additional costs due to the urgent scheduling, but we’ll discuss pricing upfront before starting any work.
