What Your Property Gains

You get your yard back. No more maneuvering the mower around that eyesore or watching guests navigate around a tripping hazard.

The space opens up for whatever you’ve been planning—new landscaping, a play area, or just clean, usable lawn. Your property looks intentional again, not like a construction zone that never got finished.

Plus, you eliminate the real problems stumps create underground. Root decay attracts termites and carpenter ants. Fungal growth spreads to healthy plants. Our complete stump removal stops these issues before they start, protecting your investment in your property.

Tree Stump Grinding Process

Simple Process, Complete Results

We start with a quick assessment of your stump and the surrounding area. This tells us which equipment to use and how to protect your landscaping, utilities, and structures nearby.

The grinding process removes the stump 6-12 inches below ground level—deep enough that you can plant grass or new landscaping without hitting leftover wood. We grind the major root systems too, preventing regrowth and decay issues.

After grinding, we remove all debris and wood chips, then backfill the area with clean soil. You’re left with level ground ready for seeding, sod, or whatever comes next in your landscaping plans.

Complete Stump Extraction Services

What's Included in Every Job

Every stump removal includes complete grinding below ground level, major root system removal, and full cleanup. We haul away all wood chips and debris unless you want to keep the chips for mulch.

We also handle the prep work—marking utilities, protecting nearby plants, and setting up equipment access that won’t damage your lawn or driveway. Our equipment fits through standard gate openings, so backyard stumps aren’t a problem.

In Montauk’s coastal environment, we’re especially careful about salt exposure and sandy soil conditions that affect how stumps break down. We adjust our approach based on the tree species and how long the stump has been in place, ensuring complete removal without surprises later.

Stump removal costs depend on the size, location, and number of stumps. Most residential stumps in Montauk range from $150 to $150-$400 per stump. Larger stumps or those in difficult locations cost more, while multiple stumps often qualify for volume pricing. We provide free estimates that include all grinding, cleanup, and backfill work, so you know the total cost upfront without hidden fees or surprises.
We grind stumps 6-12 inches below ground level, which is deep enough for new grass, landscaping, or even future construction. This depth eliminates the visible stump and prevents regrowth while removing enough root material to avoid decay problems. If you’re planning specific landscaping that requires deeper removal, we can accommodate that—just let us know during the estimate so we can plan accordingly.
We take extensive precautions to protect your property. Our equipment uses rubber tracks that minimize lawn damage, and we lay protective mats when necessary. We mark sprinkler lines and utilities before starting, and we’re careful around flower beds, retaining walls, and other landscaping features. Any minor lawn disturbance from equipment access is typically minimal and recovers quickly, especially with Montauk’s growing season.
Most single stumps take 30-60 minutes to grind and clean up completely. Larger stumps or those with extensive root systems may take longer. Multiple stumps obviously extend the timeline, but we work efficiently to minimize disruption to your day. We can usually complete most residential jobs in a single visit, and we’ll give you an accurate time estimate when we provide your quote.
Yes, our equipment fits through standard gate openings (36 inches), so we can access most backyard stumps. For extremely tight spaces, we have smaller equipment and hand tools that can handle the job, though it may take longer. We evaluate access during the estimate and let you know if there are any limitations or additional considerations for your specific situation.
We remove all wood chips and debris as part of our standard service, leaving your property clean. However, many customers like to keep some wood chips for mulch around other plants—they make excellent organic mulch for flower beds and trees. Just let us know if you want to keep any chips, and we’ll pile them wherever you’d like on your property.
