Stump grinding

Stumps ground below the surface so you can reseed, replant, mow over it or build on it.

Why grind a stump

  • Stumps are trip hazards and get in the way of mowing.
  • Many species keep sending up sprouts from the stump and roots.
  • Rotting stumps can attract insects.
  • Grinding frees up the space for lawn, garden beds or construction.

How it works

A stump grinder chews the stump down below ground level. The grindings can be raked back into the hole, or used as mulch. Once the hole settles, add topsoil and seed, or plant something new nearby.

With a removal or on its own

Stump grinding can be added to any tree removal, or done on its own for old stumps already in your yard.

Questions

How deep do you grind stumps?

Below grade, deep enough to cover with soil and seed. If you plan to plant or build right on that spot, tell us at the estimate.

What happens to the wood chips?

The grindings can be raked back into the hole or used as mulch around your yard.

Can you grind old stumps from trees someone else removed?

Yes. We grind old stumps on their own too.
