Stump Grinding Process Shimerville

Here's Exactly What Happens

We bring our professional stump grinder to your property and position it safely near the stump. The machine grinds the stump down several inches below ground level – deep enough that it won’t regrow and won’t interfere with future landscaping.

The grinding process turns the stump into wood chips. We rake up all the debris and haul it away, leaving the area clean. If you want to keep some of the wood chips for mulch, just let us know.

The whole process typically takes 30 minutes to an hour per stump, depending on size. When we’re done, you’ll have a clean area ready for topsoil and grass seed, or whatever you’re planning next for that spot.

We grind stumps 6-8 inches below ground level as our standard practice. This depth prevents regrowth and allows you to plant grass or new landscaping over the area without interference. If you’re planning to plant a new tree in the same spot, we can grind deeper to accommodate the root system. The depth also depends on the stump size and your specific plans for the area, which we’ll discuss before starting the work.
Our equipment is designed to minimize lawn damage, and our operators are experienced in working around existing landscaping. We use rubber tracks that distribute weight evenly and avoid creating deep ruts in your yard. For stumps in tight spaces, we have smaller equipment that can navigate between plants and structures. Any minor lawn disturbance from equipment access is typically minimal and recovers quickly, especially compared to the improvement you’ll see from removing that stump.
We clean up and haul away all wood chips and debris as part of our standard service. However, many homeowners like to keep some of the chips for mulch around other trees and garden beds. The chips make excellent natural mulch and can save you money on landscaping materials. Just let us know before we start if you’d like us to pile some chips in a specific area of your yard, and we’ll haul away the rest.
Stump grinding costs depend on the stump’s diameter, location, and accessibility. Most residential stumps in Shimerville range from $75-$300 per stump. Larger stumps or those in difficult locations cost more, while small stumps or multiple stumps often qualify for volume discounts. We provide upfront pricing with no hidden fees – you’ll know the exact cost before we start. The price includes grinding, cleanup, and debris removal, so there are no surprises when the job is done.
Yes, but we recommend waiting and doing some soil preparation first. We’ll grind the stump deep enough to accommodate new planting, but you should add fresh topsoil to the area since the wood chips will decompose and settle over time. Wait at least a few weeks for initial settling, then add quality topsoil before planting. This gives your new tree the best chance to establish strong roots without competing with decomposing wood material in the soil.
We can typically schedule stump grinding within a few days of your tree removal, and often on the same day if you’re planning both services together. The actual grinding process is fast – most stumps take 30-60 minutes to grind and clean up completely. For emergency situations, like storm damage cleanup or tight landscaping deadlines, we offer expedited service and can usually get to Shimerville properties within 24-48 hours of your call.
