Stump grinding
The stump ground out below grade so you can seed, sod or plant over it. Tight spots beside walls and gardens included.
Get rid of the stump, not just the tree
A stump left behind sprouts, attracts carpenter ants, blunts the mower and sits in the way of the lawn or garden you actually want. Grinding takes it out below ground level in an hour or so, without digging up the yard the way pulling it would.
How it works
- The grinder chews the stump and the main roots into chips, usually 6 to 12 inches below grade
- Chips can stay as fill or be hauled away and the hole topped with soil
- Seed, sod or plant over it as soon as it is backfilled
- The machine fits through a standard gate and works in tight spots beside walls, patios and rock gardens
Stumps from an old removal
You do not need to have had the tree removed by us. Old stumps, several at once, the whole row along the fence, we quote them all the same way.

Questions about stump grinding
How deep do you grind?
Usually 6 to 12 inches below ground level, enough to seed or sod over. Deeper if you are planting or paving there.
What about the roots?
The main surface roots near the stump are ground with it. Smaller roots further out are left to rot away on their own.
Can the grinder get into my backyard?
In most cases yes. It fits through a standard gate. If access is very tight we will tell you at the quote.
