Stump Grinding Process Explained

Simple Process, Complete Results

First, we assess your stump and the surrounding area to plan the safest, most efficient approach. We mark any underground utilities and position our equipment to minimize lawn impact.

Our commercial stump grinder reduces the entire stump and major roots to wood chips, going 6-12 inches below ground level. This depth ensures you can replant anything in that spot without hitting leftover wood.

We clean up all the debris, rake the area smooth, and either haul away the wood chips or leave them for you to use as mulch. You’re left with level ground ready for grass seed, sod, or whatever landscaping project you have in mind.

What's Included in Every Job

Every stump removal includes grinding below ground level, not just surface cutting. You get complete root system removal in the immediate area, so you won’t deal with new shoots sprouting up later.

We handle stumps of any size, from small ornamental trees to massive oaks that have been dominating your yard. Our equipment can access tight spaces between houses, around pools, or in backyard corners where larger companies can’t reach.

Site cleanup is always included. We don’t just grind and leave you with a mess. The area gets raked, leveled, and left ready for your next step, whether that’s grass, landscaping, or construction.

We typically grind 6-12 inches below ground level, depending on your future plans for the area. If you’re planting grass, 6 inches is sufficient. For new trees or major landscaping, we go deeper to ensure no interference with root development. The depth also depends on the stump size and root system, but we always go deep enough that you won’t hit wood when digging or planting in that spot later.
Our equipment is designed for precision work with minimal lawn impact. We use track units that distribute weight evenly and can navigate tight spaces without tearing up your grass. We also plan our approach to avoid flower beds, sprinkler systems, and other landscaping features. While there may be some minor surface disturbance from equipment access, we restore the area and any damage is typically superficial and recovers quickly with normal lawn care.
You have options with the wood chips. We can haul them away completely if you want a clean slate, or leave them for you to use as mulch around other trees and garden beds. Many customers appreciate having free mulch, as these chips are excellent for moisture retention and weed suppression. If you only want some chips, we can leave a manageable amount and remove the excess. We’ll discuss your preference before starting the job.
Most single stumps take 30 minutes to 2 hours, depending on size and root system complexity. Small ornamental tree stumps might be done in 30 minutes, while large oak or maple stumps can take longer. Multiple stumps obviously extend the timeline, but we work efficiently to minimize disruption to your day. We’ll give you a realistic time estimate when we assess the job, and we always aim to complete work in a single visit.
Yes, our equipment can handle tight access situations that larger companies can’t reach. We routinely remove stumps between houses, near pool areas, close to decks, and in other confined spaces. Our smaller, maneuverable equipment allows us to work in areas with limited access while still providing the power needed for complete stump removal. We take extra care around structures and always assess clearance requirements before bringing equipment onto your property.
Absolutely. Large stumps are actually our specialty, and we have the commercial-grade equipment to handle even massive oak, maple, or pine stumps that have been growing for decades. While some companies avoid big jobs because they lack proper equipment, we’re equipped specifically for challenging removals. Large stumps do take more time and planning, but they’re routine work for us. We’ll assess any stump and provide honest feedback about the scope and timeline involved.
