Why grind the stump?
- It’s in the way. You mow around it, the kids trip on it, and it eats a patch of lawn you could use.
- It keeps growing back. A cut stump sprouts suckers for years. Grinding below grade stops the regrowth.
- It attracts pests. A rotting stump is a home for termites, ants, and beetles — right next to your house.
- You want the space back. Replant, re-sod, put in a bed, or just have a flat lawn again.
How it works
A stump grinder chews the stump down below ground level, along with the surface roots around it. The crew works around fences, walkways, and flower beds — the machine is sized to fit through a standard gate. What’s left is a pile of wood chips: we can haul them away, spread them as mulch, or leave them for you. Tell us what you plan to do with the space and we’ll grind to suit it — deeper if you’re replanting, shallower if you’re just re-sodding.
Grinding with a removal
Most stumps we grind come from trees we just removed — it’s the natural second half of a tree removal, and it’s usually cheapest to do it on the same visit. But if you’ve got an old stump from a tree that came down years ago, we’ll grind that too.
