Grinding or removal

A stump can be pulled or ground. Pulling digs out the whole root ball, which leaves a large hole and disturbs a lot of the yard. Grinding cuts the stump down below the surface with a rotating wheel, and the roots are left to break down underground.

For most yards, grinding is the better option. More in stump grinding: what to expect.

Tight spots

Our grinder can work right up against paver walkways and planting beds, as in the photos on this page. If the stump is in a fenced backyard, mention it when you call so we can check access.

Afterward

The spot will have a mound of chips mixed with soil, and the ground will settle as the chips break down. If you’re planting there, add soil first. For a larger project, our landscape division can take it from there.

Common questions

Can I just have a stump ground, without a tree removal?

Yes. One stump or several, old or new. Call or send the estimate form with a photo.

How deep do you grind?

Deep enough to put grass or a planting bed back over it. Let us know what you plan to put there and we'll grind accordingly.

What's left after grinding?

A mix of wood chips and soil where the stump was. The chips break down and settle over time, so add some soil on top before laying sod or planting.
