Stump Grinding Process Peters Store

Here's Exactly What Happens

First, we assess the stump and surrounding area to determine the best approach. We’ll identify any utilities or obstacles that need to be worked around. You’ll get a clear explanation of what we’re doing and how long it’ll take.

Next, we use our professional grinding equipment to remove the stump below ground level. The machine grinds the wood into small chips, working systematically through the entire root system. We go deep enough that you won’t have regrowth issues.

Finally, we clean up all the wood chips and debris. You can keep the chips for mulch if you want them, or we’ll haul them away. Either way, you’re left with a clean area ready for whatever you have planned.

We typically grind stumps 6-8 inches below ground level, which is deep enough to prevent regrowth and allow for proper landscaping. For areas where you’re planning to plant new trees or install hardscaping, we can go deeper if needed. The depth also depends on the root system – some species like oak and maple have more extensive roots that require additional grinding. We’ll assess each stump individually and explain our approach before starting work.
You have two options with the wood chips. We can haul them away completely, leaving you with a clean area ready for topsoil and grass seed. Or you can keep them for use as mulch around other plants and trees. The chips make excellent mulch and many customers prefer to keep them. We’ll pile them neatly in whatever location you specify. If you’re unsure, we can remove half and leave half – whatever works best for your landscaping plans.
Yes, our equipment can handle stumps in tight spaces near buildings, fences, and other structures. We use smaller, more maneuverable grinders for confined areas. Before starting, we’ll assess the space and explain any limitations. In most cases, we can get within a few feet of structures without causing damage. We’re also careful about flying debris and will use protective barriers when necessary to protect nearby property.
Most residential stumps take 30 minutes to 2 hours depending on size and root system complexity. A small dogwood or cherry stump might take 30 minutes, while a large oak or maple could take 2 hours or more. We’ll give you a time estimate when we provide your quote. Weather and soil conditions can also affect timing – wet clay soil takes longer than dry, sandy soil. We always plan for complete removal rather than rushing the job.
Yes, we offer same-day service when our schedule allows, especially for emergency situations. If you have a storm-damaged tree stump creating a safety hazard, or you need quick removal for a landscaping project, call us early in the day. We’ll do our best to fit you in. For non-emergency jobs, we typically schedule within a few days to a week depending on the season. Spring and fall are our busiest times, so advance scheduling is recommended.
Renting a stump grinder costs $150-300 per day, plus fuel, plus potential equipment damage fees if something goes wrong. You’ll also spend your entire weekend on one stump, and the results often aren’t great. Professional service typically costs $75-400 per stump depending on size, and we handle everything including cleanup. When you factor in your time, the physical effort, safety risks, and final results, professional removal usually makes more sense unless you’re grinding multiple stumps and have experience with heavy equipment.
