Our Stump Grinding Process

Straightforward Start to Finish

We assess your stump and surrounding area first. Root spread, nearby utilities, access routes for our equipment. This prevents surprises and gives you an accurate timeline upfront.

The grinding happens quickly once we start. Our commercial-grade equipment reduces stumps to wood chips several inches below ground level. We’re not just shaving the surface – we’re eliminating the entire visible stump and enough root structure to prevent regrowth issues.

Cleanup is part of the job, not an extra. We remove wood chips if you don’t want them, or spread them as mulch if you do. Your property looks finished when we leave, not like a construction zone waiting for you to deal with the aftermath.

We grind stumps 6-8 inches below ground level as standard practice. This depth eliminates the visible stump completely and removes enough root structure to prevent regrowth issues that plague surface-level grinding jobs. The depth also allows you to plant grass, flowers, or even small shrubs in the area without hitting leftover wood. Some companies only grind to ground level, which leaves you with ongoing problems. We go deep enough to actually solve the stump issue permanently.
You decide what works best for your property. We can haul away all the wood chips if you want the area completely clear for immediate landscaping. Or we can spread them as natural mulch around your existing plants and trees – fresh wood chips make excellent mulch and save you money on landscaping materials. Some homeowners keep a portion for mulch and have us remove the rest. We handle the cleanup either way, so you’re not stuck with a pile of debris to deal with later.
Yes, our equipment can safely work in tight spaces near buildings, fences, and landscaping features. We use specialized grinding wheels and techniques for confined areas that larger companies often can’t handle. Before starting any job, we assess clearance requirements and potential obstacles. If there are utility lines or irrigation systems nearby, we take extra precautions to avoid damage. Most residential stump situations are well within our equipment’s capabilities, even in challenging locations around your property.
Most single stumps take 30 minutes to 2 hours depending on size and root complexity. A typical 12-inch diameter stump usually takes about an hour from setup to cleanup. Larger stumps or multiple stumps obviously take longer, but we can give you an accurate time estimate when we see your specific situation. The actual grinding happens fairly quickly – most of the time goes to proper setup, site protection, and thorough cleanup afterward. We don’t rush the job, but we also don’t drag it out unnecessarily.
Stump grinder rentals typically cost $200-400 per day plus fuel, but that’s just the beginning of your actual costs. Most rental units are smaller, less powerful machines that struggle with larger stumps or difficult root systems. You’ll likely need multiple days, additional tools, and disposal arrangements. Factor in your time, potential equipment damage deposits, and the physical demands of operating heavy machinery safely. Professional service eliminates all those variables and guarantees proper results the first time, often for less total cost than a problematic DIY attempt.
Absolutely. Storm damage, fallen trees, and urgent safety situations get priority scheduling. When a stump becomes an immediate hazard or blocks access to your property, we understand it can’t wait for regular scheduling. Emergency stump removal typically costs more due to urgent response requirements, but we’re equipped to handle these situations quickly and safely. We’ve dealt with storm aftermath throughout the Lehigh Valley and know how to prioritize jobs that affect property safety and accessibility. Call us directly for emergency situations – don’t wait.
