Stump Grinding Process

Simple Process, Complete Results

First, we assess the stump size, location, and any potential obstacles like utilities or nearby structures. This determines the right equipment and approach for your specific situation.

Then we use professional-grade stump grinders to completely remove the stump and major roots below ground level. The grinding goes deep enough that you won’t have regrowth issues or an uneven surface later.

Finally, we clean up all the wood chips and debris, fill the area with soil, and level everything out. You’re left with a clean, ready-to-use space where the stump used to be. The whole process typically takes a few hours, depending on the stump size, and you can use that area immediately.

Complete Stump Extraction Services

Everything Included, Nothing Extra

Our stump removal service covers the entire job from start to finish. We bring all the necessary equipment, handle all the grinding and extraction work, and take care of complete site cleanup.

You get the stump ground down to at least 6 inches below ground level, all major roots removed, and the area filled and leveled. We haul away the wood chips unless you want to keep them for mulch or other uses around your property.

Brookhaven properties often have unique challenges like rocky soil, tight spaces between homes, or utility lines to work around. We’ve handled these situations countless times and know how to complete the job safely without damaging your property or landscaping.

How deep do you grind stumps below ground level?

We typically grind stumps 6 to 8 inches below ground level, which is deep enough to prevent regrowth and allow you to plant grass or other vegetation over the area. For situations where you’re planning to plant a new tree in the same spot, we can grind deeper to ensure the new tree’s roots have room to establish properly. The depth also depends on the stump size and root system, but our goal is always to make sure you won’t have issues with sprouting or an uneven surface later.

Will stump grinding damage my lawn or nearby plants?

Our equipment is designed to access stumps with minimal impact to surrounding areas. We use track-mounted grinders that distribute weight evenly and can navigate tight spaces without tearing up your lawn. We also take precautions to protect nearby plants, structures, and utilities before starting work. Any minor lawn disturbance from equipment access is typically minimal and recovers quickly. We’re always careful about property protection because most of our business comes from referrals, and we want you to be completely satisfied with both the stump removal and the condition of your property afterward.

What happens to the wood chips after grinding?

You can choose to keep the wood chips for mulch around your property, or we can haul them away as part of our cleanup service. Fresh wood chips make excellent mulch for flower beds, around trees, or in garden areas, so many customers opt to keep some or all of them. If you don’t need the chips, we’ll remove them completely and fill the area with soil so it’s ready for grass seed or sod. We always ask about your preference before starting the job so we can plan accordingly.

How long does stump removal typically take?

Most residential stumps take 1 to 3 hours to complete, including setup, grinding, and cleanup. Smaller stumps from ornamental trees might only take 30 minutes, while large oak or maple stumps can take several hours. The time depends on the stump size, root system, location accessibility, and soil conditions. We can usually give you a pretty accurate time estimate when we see the stump in person. Multiple stumps obviously take longer, but we can often handle several in the same visit if they’re on the same property.

Can you remove stumps in tight spaces or near buildings?

Yes, we have different sized equipment for various situations, including compact grinders that can fit through standard gates and work in tight spaces between buildings. Brookhaven properties often have stumps close to homes, fences, or other structures, and we’ve developed techniques to handle these challenging locations safely. We always do a site assessment first to determine the best approach and equipment for your specific situation. If access is extremely limited, we can sometimes use smaller equipment or hand tools, though this may affect pricing and timeline.

Do I need to do anything to prepare for stump removal?

The main thing is making sure we have clear access to the stump area. Remove any decorative items, hoses, or outdoor furniture from the immediate area. If the stump is in a fenced yard, make sure gates are unlocked and wide enough for our equipment. We’ll handle locating utilities if needed, but it’s helpful if you know where underground lines run near the stump. Other than that, there’s not much preparation required on your end. We bring all the equipment and tools needed to complete the job, and we’ll walk through the area with you before starting to make sure everything is ready to go.
