Stump Grinding Process Explained

Here's Exactly What Happens

First, we assess your stump and mark any underground utilities or irrigation lines. Our equipment needs clear access, so we’ll identify the best approach that protects your landscaping.

The grinding machine uses a rotating cutting wheel to chip away the stump and major roots, working from the top down. We typically grind 6-8 inches below ground level to prevent regrowth and allow for proper soil coverage.

As we work, the machine creates wood chips that we can either remove completely or leave for you to use as mulch – your choice. We rake and level the area, then fill any depression with soil so the ground is ready for seeding or planting.

What's Included in Every Job

Every stump grinding service includes complete removal of the visible stump plus the root system that could cause regrowth. We don’t just cut it flush – we grind below ground level so you never see it again.

Cleanup is part of the service. We remove all debris unless you specifically want to keep the wood chips for mulch. The area gets raked, leveled, and filled so it’s ready for whatever comes next.

We handle stumps in tight spaces, near foundations, close to other plants, and in areas where access is challenging. Our equipment is designed to work in residential settings without tearing up your lawn or damaging nearby structures.

We typically grind stumps 6-8 inches below ground level, which is deep enough to prevent regrowth and allow proper soil coverage for grass or new plantings. If you’re planning to build something over the area, we can grind deeper on request. The depth depends on the stump size and your future plans for the space, but our standard depth eliminates the stump permanently while allowing normal landscaping activities.
Our equipment is designed for residential properties and we take precautions to protect your existing landscaping. We use plywood or mats to protect lawn areas where the machine travels, and we’re careful around flower beds, irrigation systems, and other plants. Some minor surface disturbance is normal, but we repair any damage to surrounding grass and clean up completely. Most homeowners are surprised by how little disruption there is to the rest of their yard.
You have options with the wood chips. We can remove them completely as part of our cleanup, or you can keep them to use as mulch around other plants and trees. Fresh wood chips make excellent mulch, but they should be composted for a few months before using around vegetables or annual flowers. Many customers use them immediately around established trees and shrubs, or in pathways where they provide natural weed control.
Yes, we regularly handle stumps in tight spaces, including those close to foundations, fences, decks, and other structures. Our equipment has precise controls that allow us to work carefully around obstacles. We assess each situation individually to determine the best approach and ensure no damage to nearby structures. In extremely tight spaces, we may need to use smaller equipment or hand tools for finishing work, but we can handle almost any location.
Most residential stumps take 30 minutes to 2 hours to grind completely, depending on size, species, and root system complexity. Small stumps from ornamental trees might take just 15-20 minutes, while large oak or maple stumps can take several hours. We factor in setup time, grinding, cleanup, and site restoration. Weather and soil conditions can affect timing, but we’ll give you a realistic timeframe when we assess your specific stump.
You can plant or seed immediately after we complete the work. We fill the area with quality soil and level it properly, so it’s ready for grass seed, sod, or new plantings right away. Some customers prefer to wait a few weeks to let the soil settle, especially if they’re planning major landscaping changes. If you’re planting a new tree in the same spot, we recommend choosing a location at least 3 feet from where the old stump was to avoid any remaining root material.
