Tree Stump Grinding Process

Simple Process, Complete Results

First, we assess your stump and the surrounding area to determine the best approach. We’ll identify any utilities, sprinkler lines, or landscaping features that need protection during the grinding process.

Next, we use professional stump grinding equipment to grind the stump down below ground level, typically 6-8 inches deep. This ensures the stump won’t regrow and gives you enough depth for grass or new plantings.

Finally, we clean up all the wood chips and debris. You can keep the chips for mulch if you want them, or we’ll haul them away. Either way, you’re left with a clean space ready for whatever you have planned next.

Complete Stump Removal Services

Everything Included, Nothing Extra

Our stump removal service covers the entire job from start to finish. We bring the professional equipment needed to handle stumps of any size, from small ornamental trees to large oak or maple stumps that have been sitting in your yard for months.

The service includes complete grinding below ground level, so you won’t have issues with regrowth. We also handle all the cleanup, which means you don’t have to deal with piles of wood chips and debris scattered across your property.

Many Medford homeowners are surprised by how quickly we can complete the job. Most residential stumps can be ground and cleaned up in under an hour, depending on size and location. You get your Saturday back instead of spending it wrestling with rental equipment that might not even get the job done properly.

How deep do you grind the stump below ground level?

We typically grind stumps 6-8 inches below ground level, which is deep enough to prevent regrowth and allow for grass seeding or new plantings. If you’re planning to install a structure or do extensive landscaping in that area, we can grind deeper upon request. The depth we achieve eliminates the stump as an obstacle for mowing and ensures you won’t see any sprouting or regrowth in the future. This depth also provides enough soil coverage for grass roots to establish properly over the area.

What happens to all the wood chips after grinding?

You have two options with the wood chips created during grinding. We can haul them away as part of our cleanup service, leaving you with a clean space ready for grass seed or landscaping. Alternatively, many homeowners choose to keep the chips for use as mulch around other trees, shrubs, or garden beds. The chips make excellent organic mulch that helps retain soil moisture and suppress weeds. We’ll pile them neatly wherever you’d like on your property, or load them into your truck or trailer if you prefer.

Can you remove stumps close to my house or other structures?

Yes, we can safely remove stumps near houses, fences, driveways, and other structures. Our equipment is designed to work in tight spaces, and we take precautions to protect your property during the grinding process. We’ll assess the area beforehand to identify any potential issues and adjust our approach accordingly. For stumps very close to foundations or delicate landscaping, we may use smaller equipment or hand tools for the final cleanup to ensure no damage occurs to surrounding areas.

How long does the typical stump removal job take?

Most residential stump removals in Medford take between 30 minutes to 2 hours, depending on the stump’s size, age, and location. Smaller stumps from ornamental trees might be done in 30 minutes, while large oak or maple stumps could take longer. The cleanup process is included in that timeframe, so when we’re finished, your property is ready to go. We’ll give you a more specific estimate when we see the stump, but most homeowners are surprised by how quickly we can complete the entire job.

Do I need to do anything to prepare before you arrive?

The main thing we need is clear access to the stump for our equipment. If there are any sprinkler heads, outdoor lighting, or decorative elements within a few feet of the stump, please point them out when we arrive so we can protect them. You don’t need to dig around the stump or do any prep work yourself. We’ll handle moving any loose debris or small obstacles. If you have underground utilities in the area, it’s helpful to know their approximate location, but we’ll also use caution during grinding to avoid any issues.

Will grinding the stump damage my lawn or landscaping?

We take care to minimize any impact on your surrounding lawn and landscaping. Our equipment is designed to stay focused on the stump area, and we use protective measures when working near delicate plants or newly seeded grass. There may be some minor disturbance to the immediate area around the stump, but this is typically minimal and recovers quickly. Any tire tracks or minor lawn disturbance from our equipment usually bounce back within a few weeks, especially during growing season. We’ll discuss any specific concerns about your landscaping before we start the work.
