Stump Grinding Process Explained

Here's Exactly What We Do

First, we assess your stump and check for underground utilities or obstacles. This prevents damage to your property and ensures safe operation of our equipment.

Next, we use professional-grade stump grinders to remove the stump and major root system below ground level. The machine chips everything into mulch, which can be removed or left for you to use in landscaping.

Finally, we clean up all debris and fill the hole with soil or mulch. You’re left with a level surface ready for grass seed, new plantings, or whatever you have planned for that space.

We typically grind stumps 6-8 inches below ground level, which is deep enough to prevent regrowth and allow for new grass or plantings. For areas where you’re planning construction or major landscaping, we can go deeper if needed. The depth depends on your specific plans for the space and the size of the original stump. We’ll discuss the right depth for your situation during our assessment, so you get exactly what you need for your project.
You have options with the wood chips. We can haul them away completely if you want a clean slate, or leave them for you to use as mulch in your landscaping. Many homeowners like keeping some chips for garden beds and having us remove the excess. The chips make excellent mulch around trees and shrubs, and they break down naturally over time. We’ll fill the hole with soil or chips based on your preference and what you’re planning for that area.
Yes, we have equipment designed for tight spaces and can typically grind stumps within a few feet of structures. Our smaller, self-propelled grinders can fit through standard gates and work in confined areas where larger equipment won’t go. We take extra care around foundations, fences, and landscaping to prevent damage. Before starting, we assess the space and explain exactly how we’ll approach the job safely. If access is extremely limited, we’ll let you know upfront and discuss alternatives.
Most single stumps take 30 minutes to 2 hours, depending on size and root system complexity. Smaller stumps from trees under 12 inches diameter usually take less than an hour. Larger stumps from mature trees can take several hours, especially if there’s extensive root spread. Multiple stumps obviously take longer, but we can often handle several in one visit. We’ll give you a time estimate when we assess your specific situation, so you know what to expect.
We take precautions to minimize lawn damage, but some impact is unavoidable when bringing equipment into your yard. We use the smallest effective equipment for your situation and choose the best access route to limit disruption. Any minor lawn damage from equipment tracks typically recovers quickly, especially if we’re working during growing season. We’ll discuss the access route with you beforehand and work around valuable landscaping whenever possible. The benefit of reclaiming that space usually far outweighs temporary lawn impact.
Yes, we provide emergency stump removal services when storms damage trees on your property. Storm-damaged stumps can be more complex because the root system may be partially exposed or damaged, but we have experience with these situations throughout the Lehigh Valley. We prioritize emergency calls when stumps create safety hazards or block access to your home. Emergency services may have different pricing due to urgency and scheduling, but we’ll always explain costs upfront. Call us as soon as it’s safe to assess storm damage.
