Complete Stump Grinding Solutions
Stump grinding is the most efficient and cost-effective method for removing unwanted tree stumps from your property. Our professional grinding service reduces stumps to wood chips below ground level, eliminating the visible eyesore and creating space for lawns, gardens, or new trees. Unlike complete extraction, grinding is faster, less invasive to your landscape, and ideal for most residential and commercial applications where deep root removal isn't necessary.
Advanced Grinding Equipment & Techniques
Our fleet includes commercial-grade stump grinders ranging from compact units that fit through 36-inch gates to large track-mounted grinders for massive stumps. This variety ensures we have the right equipment for your specific situation—whether it's a tight backyard location or an open area with multiple large stumps. We grind stumps 6 to 12 inches below ground level as standard, with deeper grinding available for specific needs like replanting large trees or construction. Our operators are trained to work efficiently while protecting surrounding landscape features, underground utilities, and irrigation systems. We use precision grinding techniques that pulverize the stump and surface roots into fine wood chips, creating material that can be repurposed as mulch or easily removed. For properties with multiple stumps, we coordinate grinding schedules to minimize disruption and complete the work efficiently. Our equipment can handle fresh stumps or ones that have been aging for years, and we adjust techniques based on wood hardness and root structure.
Surface roots extending from stumps can create additional obstacles for lawn care, landscaping, and foot traffic. Our grinding service addresses these surface roots along with the main stump, creating a smooth, level area. We grind the root collar and exposed roots that radiate from the stump, eliminating trip hazards and obstacles to mowing. This is particularly important for trees that were cut high or stumps located in high-traffic areas. For stumps near sidewalks, driveways, or patios, we carefully grind edges to blend the removal area with existing hardscapes, ensuring clean lines and professional results. Our operators understand the growth patterns of different tree species and know which roots need attention—like the aggressive surface roots of silver maples or the wide-spreading roots of willow trees. By addressing the entire visible root structure, not just the central stump, we ensure your landscape is truly ready for its next phase.

Complete Site Cleanup & Restoration
Stump grinding produces a substantial pile of wood chips that need proper handling. Our service includes complete cleanup and site restoration, leaving your property ready for immediate use. We can haul away all wood chips if you prefer a clean slate, spread them as mulch in your planting beds, or use them to partially fill the stump hole. For lawn restoration, we fill the depression with quality topsoil, grade it level with surrounding terrain, and can seed or sod immediately. The ground will settle as chips decompose, and we advise on managing this natural settling process. We rake the surrounding area to remove all stray chips and ensure your lawn mower won't encounter them. For multiple stump grindings, we ensure consistent treatment across all locations so your landscape has a uniform appearance. If the stump was diseased, we sanitize our equipment between jobs to prevent pathogen spread to other properties.
