Stump Grinding Process Explained

Simple Process, Complete Results

We start by assessing your stump and marking any underground utilities or irrigation lines. Safety first, always. Then we position our stump grinder and begin grinding the stump down below ground level – typically 6 to 8 inches deep.

The grinding process creates wood chips, which we can either remove completely or leave for you to use as mulch. Most customers prefer complete removal so they can immediately use the space. We rake the area clean and fill any depression with topsoil.

The entire process usually takes 30 minutes to 2 hours depending on stump size. You’ll have a clean, level area ready for whatever comes next – seeding, planting, or just enjoying the extra space.

We typically grind stumps 6 to 8 inches below ground level, which is deep enough for most landscaping and lawn needs. If you’re planning construction or need deeper removal, we can grind down to 12 inches or more. The key is grinding deep enough that new grass can grow over the area without interference from remaining wood. We always ask about your plans for the space so we can grind to the appropriate depth for your specific needs.
Our equipment is designed for residential work, which means we can access stumps without causing unnecessary damage to your property. We use track-mounted grinders that distribute weight evenly and can navigate through standard gate openings. We’re careful around existing landscaping, sprinkler systems, and hardscaping. Any minor lawn disturbance from equipment access is typically minimal and recovers quickly. We always walk the area with you beforehand to identify any concerns and plan the safest approach.
You have options with the wood chips. We can remove them completely and leave you with a clean area ready for topsoil and seeding. Or we can leave them for you to use as mulch around other plants – fresh wood chips work well for pathways and garden beds. Most customers prefer complete removal so they can immediately replant or reseed the area. The wood chips break down naturally over time, but removal gives you instant usability of the space.
When you factor in equipment rental, fuel, your time, and potential property damage from inexperience, professional service often costs about the same as DIY – sometimes less. Stump grinder rentals run $200-400 per day, plus you need a truck to transport it and the physical capability to operate heavy equipment safely. We have the right equipment, experience to work efficiently, and insurance coverage. Most residential stumps take us 30 minutes to 2 hours. You avoid the hassle, risk, and learning curve.
Yes, but we take extra precautions in these situations. We always call 811 for utility marking before grinding near structures or suspected utility lines. Our equipment allows for precise control, so we can work close to foundations, septic systems, and landscaping features. For stumps very close to foundations, we may need to use smaller equipment or hand tools for final cleanup. We discuss any limitations upfront and explain exactly how we’ll protect your property during the process.
Most stump grinding jobs can be scheduled within a few days to a week, depending on weather and our current workload. Emergency situations – like storm-damaged stumps blocking driveways or creating safety hazards – often get same-day or next-day service. Spring and fall are our busiest seasons, so scheduling may take longer during peak times. We recommend calling as soon as you know you need service. Most jobs are completed in a single visit, weather permitting.
