Professional stump grinding that eliminates tripping hazards and frees up your property for better use.
That eyesore stump is gone, along with the safety hazard it created for your family. Your kids can run around the yard without you holding your breath about twisted ankles. Your lawn mower glides smoothly across level ground instead of you having to navigate around obstacles every weekend.
The space opens up possibilities you couldn’t see before. Maybe it’s the perfect spot for that garden bed you’ve been planning. Or finally enough room for the kids’ swing set. The area blends seamlessly with the rest of your landscape instead of sticking out like a rotting reminder of the tree that used to be there.
You’re not dealing with new shoots sprouting up every few months either. The root system is disrupted, so you won’t be playing whack-a-mole with regrowth. And those wood-boring insects that love to set up shop in decaying stumps? They’ll have to find somewhere else to live.
We’ve been handling stump removal throughout the Lehigh Valley for years. We understand how Pennsylvania’s clay soil and freeze-thaw cycles affect root systems, and we have the right equipment to handle everything from small ornamental tree stumps to massive oak remnants.
We’re not the guys who show up with a chainsaw and call it done. Professional stump grinding means going below ground level, disrupting the root system, and leaving you with wood chips you can actually use. We’re licensed, insured, and we clean up after ourselves.
You’ll find us working throughout New Tripoli and the surrounding areas because we live here too. When you call, you’re getting local expertise, not some franchise operation that doesn’t understand the area.
First, we assess the stump size, root spread, and any obstacles like utilities or landscaping that need protection. We mark underground lines if needed and set up barriers to contain debris. This isn’t guesswork – we plan the approach before we fire up any equipment.
Our stump grinder reduces the entire stump to wood chips, going several inches below ground level. We’re not just cutting it flush with the soil surface. The grinding process disrupts the root system enough to prevent most regrowth, though some larger roots may need additional attention.
After grinding, we remove the wood chips or leave them for you to use as mulch – your choice. We fill the hole with soil and rake the area smooth. The whole process typically takes 30 minutes to 2 hours depending on stump size, and you’re left with a level area ready for whatever you have planned next.

You get complete stump removal down to 6-8 inches below ground level, which is deep enough for replanting or laying sod. We handle stumps of any size, from small dogwood stumps to massive pine or oak remnants that require our largest equipment. Root flare grinding is included – those surface roots that create bumps and mowing hazards.
We bring our own equipment, mark utilities when necessary, and protect your existing landscaping during the process. Cleanup is part of the service, not an add-on. We’ll haul away the wood chips or leave them neatly piled for your use as mulch or compost material.
Same-day service is available for urgent situations, like when a stump is creating an immediate safety hazard or blocking access. We also handle multiple stumps efficiently, which saves you money compared to individual removal costs. Emergency stump removal is available when storms or other situations create sudden hazards that need immediate attention.
