Stump Grinding
Grind it below grade so you can mow it, plant it, or forget it
A premium take on stump grinding
A stump left in the ground is a mower killer, a trip hazard, and an open invitation to carpenter ants and honey fungus. We grind stumps six to twelve inches below grade, chase the surface roots that would push through your lawn later, and take the grindings with us if you'd rather not have a mound of mulch where the tree stood. Fill it, seed it, sod it, or drop a patio on it. Once the stump is gone, the space is yours again. We grind stumps we removed and stumps someone else left behind, and we can be in and out in a morning on most residential jobs.
This service is a good fit for homeowners and property managers who want a clean, professional result without juggling the details themselves. We handle the prep, the finish work, and the cleanup so the space is ready to enjoy when we're done.
Every project covers the essentials
- Ground 6–12 inches below grade, deeper on request
- Surface roots chased so the lawn stays flat
- Grindings hauled off or backfilled and topsoiled
- Access-friendly machines for gated backyards
- Old stumps from other contractors welcome
- Utility locates called before we grind
