Our stump grinding service clears out the remaining base of the tree safely and efficiently, grinding it well below ground level so you can move forward — whether that means replanting, building, or simply enjoying a clean, open yard. We handle stumps of all sizes, on residential or commercial properties, with minimal disruption to the surrounding area.

How deep do you grind the stump?
We typically grind 6–12 inches below ground, depending on how you plan to use the area afterward.
Will the roots be removed too?
Will the roots be removed too?
We target the stump and surface roots. Deep roots naturally decompose over time and are usually left in place.
Can I replant where the stump was?
Yes — we can prep the area to support new sod, shrubs, or even another tree, depending on your goals.
How long does stump grinding take?
Most jobs take less than an hour per stump, but larger jobs or multiple stumps may take longer.
Do I need to be home during the service?
Not necessarily — as long as we have access to the stump and know your preferences for cleanup or chip removal.
