What You Get When It's Done Right

You get your yard back. That stump that’s been sitting there for months, collecting leaves and making your property look unfinished, is gone completely.

We grind stumps down to 6-8 inches below ground level. Deep enough that you can plant grass, lay sod, or build whatever you want on that spot. The wood chips get hauled away unless you want them for mulch.

Your property looks clean and complete again. No more walking around that eyesore or explaining to neighbors why it’s still there. Just smooth, usable space where you can actually do something productive.

Our Stump Removal Process

How We Handle Your Stump

First, we assess the stump size, location, and any obstacles like utilities or landscaping. This determines which equipment we bring and how we approach the job.

Then we position our stump grinder and systematically grind the stump down below ground level. The machine reduces everything to wood chips – stump, major roots, the whole thing.

Finally, we rake out the chips, fill the hole with soil, and clean up completely. You’re left with level ground ready for whatever comes next. The whole process usually takes 30 minutes to 2 hours depending on stump size.

Everything Included in Every Job

Every stump removal includes grinding below ground level, not just flush cutting. Surface cuts leave roots that sprout new growth and create ongoing problems.

We handle cleanup completely. Wood chips get removed unless you specifically want them for landscaping. The area gets backfilled with soil and leveled so you can use the space immediately.

Our equipment works in tight spaces where larger companies can’t operate. Most Commack properties have fenced yards, established landscaping, or close neighbors. We navigate these situations daily without damaging your property or theirs.

We grind stumps 6-8 inches below ground level as standard practice. This depth eliminates sprouting and allows you to plant grass, install sod, or build structures over the area. Surface grinding that only cuts flush with the ground leaves live roots that will sprout new growth within months. Going below ground level kills the root system completely and gives you permanent results instead of a temporary fix.
Yes, our equipment fits through standard 36-inch gates and operates in confined spaces where larger machines can’t access. Most Commack properties have fenced backyards, established landscaping, or limited access points. We’ve designed our approach around these common constraints and regularly work in tight quarters without damaging surrounding plants, structures, or neighboring properties. We’ll assess access during the initial consultation to confirm we can reach your stump.
We remove all wood chips and debris as part of our standard service unless you specifically request to keep them for mulch or landscaping. Many customers prefer complete removal because fresh wood chips can attract insects and take months to decompose properly. If you do want to keep them, we’ll pile them neatly wherever you specify. Either way, we backfill the area with soil and level it so the space is immediately usable.
Most single stumps take 30 minutes to 2 hours depending on size, species, and location. Smaller stumps under 12 inches diameter usually take 30-45 minutes. Larger stumps or those with extensive root systems can take up to 2 hours. Multiple stumps obviously take longer, but we can usually complete several in a single visit. We’ll give you a time estimate when we provide your quote so you can plan accordingly.
Complete cleanup is included in every job. We remove wood chips, rake the area clean, backfill with soil, and level the ground so it’s ready for immediate use. You won’t find wood debris scattered around your property or a gaping hole where the stump used to be. The area will look like the stump was never there, ready for grass seed, sod, or whatever you have planned for that space.
Yes, we carry full licensing and insurance coverage for all stump removal operations. This protects both your property and our workers during the job. Stump grinding involves heavy machinery and potential underground hazards like utility lines, so proper insurance coverage isn’t optional – it’s essential. We can provide proof of insurance before starting work if your property manager or HOA requires documentation.
