Old stumps are more than an eyesore. They attract pests, create tripping hazards, and take up usable yard space. Our stump grinding service removes stumps below grade so you can reclaim your lawn and move on with your landscaping plans.
Our stump grinder uses a powerful rotating cutting wheel to chip away the stump and its major roots below the soil surface, typically 6 to 8 inches below grade. The result is a clean, level area that can be filled with topsoil and seeded, or used for whatever you have planned.
Stump grinding is faster, less disruptive, and more affordable than full stump excavation. It's the preferred method for most residential and commercial properties.
Stumps may seem harmless, but leaving them in your yard creates problems over time.
Stumps take up valuable space and make mowing a hassle. Grinding them away gives you a clean, flat surface you can use for landscaping, a garden bed, a play area, or simply a better-looking lawn.
Decaying stumps attract termites, carpenter ants, beetles, and other wood-boring insects. These pests can eventually spread to your home or other structures. Removing the stump removes the habitat.
Left in the ground, many stumps will sprout new shoots that require repeated cutting. They also create tripping hazards for family and visitors. Grinding below grade solves both problems permanently.
Most single stumps take 30 minutes to an hour. Larger stumps or multiple stumps on the same property may take longer. We'll give you a time estimate when we provide your quote.
Grinding produces a pile of wood chips and soil. We can use these chips to backfill the hole, haul them away, or spread them as mulch in your garden beds. It's your call.
Yes, but we recommend waiting until the remaining root material has had time to decompose. In most cases, you can plant a new tree nearby or in the same spot after removing the wood chips and adding fresh topsoil.
