Stump Grinding

After a tree is removed, the stump that remains can be more than an eyesore — it can attract pests, cause tripping hazards, and make lawn care difficult.

Why Stump Grinding Matters

Tree stumps left behind can decay over time, attract termites and carpenter ants, and become an obstacle for mowing or planting.
Grinding eliminates the stump below ground level, improving safety and appearance while preventing regrowth.
Unlike full stump removal, which involves excavation, stump grinding is faster, less invasive, and more affordable.

Our Stump Grinding Process

1. Free Inspection: We evaluate stump size, access, and depth to provide an accurate quote.
2. Site Preparation: We clear debris and protect surrounding areas with mats when needed.
3. Grinding: Using industrial-grade grinders, we grind the stump 6–12 inches below ground level.
4. Cleanup: We remove grindings or leave them for use as mulch, depending on your preference.
5. Optional Backfill: We can fill the area with topsoil and seed for a clean, finished look.
