Our Stump Removal Process

Here's Exactly What Happens

First, we assess your stump situation and clear the area of any rocks, debris, or obstacles that could damage our equipment. We mark any underground utilities if needed and set up our professional stump grinder.

The grinding process removes the stump completely, typically 6-8 inches below ground level. This prevents regrowth and gives you a clean slate for whatever comes next. Our equipment turns that stubborn stump into wood chips in a matter of minutes, not hours of backbreaking labor.

Finally, we clean up the area, remove the wood chips (unless you want to keep them for mulch), and backfill the hole with soil. You’re left with level ground that’s ready for grass seed, new plantings, or whatever you have planned. No mess, no leftover debris, no half-finished job.

What's Included in Every Job

Every stump removal includes complete grinding below ground level, not just surface removal that leaves roots to regrow. We bring professional-grade equipment that can handle stumps of any size, from small shrubs to large trees that require serious horsepower.

Cleanup is always included. We don’t grind your stump and leave you with a pile of wood chips and debris to deal with. The area gets cleared, leveled, and left ready for your next steps. If you want the wood chips for landscaping, we can leave them. If not, they go with us.

We handle the tough situations too – stumps near foundations, between other plants, or in tight spaces where access is limited. Smithtown properties often have unique challenges, and we’ve seen them all. Our equipment and experience let us work efficiently without damaging your lawn, driveway, or existing landscaping.

We typically grind stumps 6-8 inches below ground level, which is deep enough to prevent regrowth and allow you to plant grass or new landscaping over the area. For specific projects like installing a patio or building structure, we can grind deeper if needed. The goal is making sure you never have to deal with that stump again, whether it’s sprouting new growth or interfering with your future plans.
That’s completely up to you. Many Smithtown homeowners like to keep the wood chips for mulch around other trees and garden beds – it’s free, natural mulch that works great for moisture retention. If you don’t want them, we haul them away as part of our cleanup process. We can also partially backfill the area with chips and top it with soil if you’re planning to seed grass over the spot.
Yes, we handle stumps in tight spaces regularly. Our equipment allows us to work close to foundations, between existing plants, and in areas where larger machines couldn’t operate safely. We take extra care around structures, utilities, and your existing landscaping. Before starting any job, we assess the area and plan our approach to avoid any damage to your property while still getting the stump completely removed.
Most single stumps take 30-60 minutes from setup to cleanup, depending on size and location. Larger stumps or multiple stumps obviously take longer, but our professional equipment makes the actual grinding process much faster than you might expect. We’ll give you a realistic timeframe when we assess your specific situation. The goal is getting in, getting the job done right, and getting out of your way quickly.
When done properly with professional equipment, stump grinding is very safe for surrounding areas. We use protective barriers when needed and have the experience to work around your existing landscaping without damage. Our equipment is designed for precision work, not just brute force. We’ve been doing this in Smithtown long enough to know how to protect your property while getting the stump out completely.
Very little preparation is needed on your part. Clear any decorations, hoses, or moveable items from around the stump area. If you have sprinkler heads or know where utility lines run, point those out to us. We handle the rest, including assessing the area and planning our approach. Our goal is making this as easy as possible for you while ensuring we can work safely and efficiently.
