Our Stump Grinding Process

What's Included in Every Job

Every stump removal includes complete grinding below ground level, not just surface removal. We handle stumps of any size, from small ornamental trees to massive oaks that have been growing for decades. The root system gets ground down far enough that regrowth isn’t a concern.

You get full cleanup service with every job. Wood chips are either removed from your property or left as mulch for your landscaping, depending on your preference. We don’t leave debris scattered around your yard or expect you to handle the mess.

Our equipment is sized appropriately for residential properties. We can access stumps in tight spaces, near buildings, or in areas where larger machines can’t operate safely. The work is done efficiently without tearing up your lawn or damaging nearby plants and structures.

Most residential stumps take 30 minutes to 2 hours to grind completely, depending on size and location. A typical backyard stump from a medium-sized tree usually takes about an hour from start to cleanup. Larger stumps or those in difficult locations may take longer, but we’ll give you an accurate time estimate when we assess the job. Multiple stumps can often be handled in the same visit, making the process more efficient for your schedule.
Professional stump grinding causes minimal damage to surrounding areas when done properly. We use equipment sized for residential properties and take precautions to protect your existing landscaping. Some minor soil disturbance around the immediate stump area is normal, but we avoid unnecessary damage to your lawn. Any areas that do get disturbed during the process are restored as part of our cleanup service, leaving the site ready for replanting or other use.
We grind stumps 6-8 inches below ground level as standard practice. This depth prevents regrowth and allows you to plant grass, flowers, or even new trees in the same location. For specific projects like installing a patio or building foundation, we can grind deeper if needed. The goal is to remove enough of the stump and root system that it won’t interfere with your future plans for the space.
You decide what happens to the wood chips. Many homeowners use them as mulch for flower beds, around trees, or in garden areas since they’re excellent for moisture retention and weed control. If you don’t want the chips, we’ll haul them away as part of our service. We can also spread them in wooded areas of your property or mix them with soil to level the ground where the stump was located.
Yes, we regularly handle stumps in challenging locations near houses, fences, utility lines, and other structures. Our equipment is designed for tight residential spaces, and we take extra precautions around underground utilities and building foundations. We’ll locate utility lines before starting work and use techniques that minimize vibration and impact. However, extremely close proximity to certain utilities may require hand digging or specialized approaches, which we’ll discuss during the initial assessment.
Stump removal costs depend on the size, location, and number of stumps being removed. Most residential stumps range from $150-$400 per stump, with larger or more difficult stumps costing more. We provide transparent written estimates after assessing your specific situation. Multiple stumps often qualify for volume pricing, and we’ll always give you the total cost upfront with no hidden fees or surprise charges after the work is completed.
