Why Stump Removal Matters
Tree stumps are more than just unsightly landscape obstacles—they're potential safety hazards, pest magnets, and barriers to your property's full potential. Professional stump grinding eliminates these problems while reclaiming valuable outdoor space for new landscaping possibilities.
Safety concerns make stump removal a priority for many property owners. Hidden stumps create trip hazards, especially when covered by grass or landscaping. They can damage lawn mowing equipment and pose risks to children playing in the yard.
Pest problems frequently develop around decaying stumps. Termites, carpenter ants, and other wood-boring insects are attracted to rotting wood and can spread to healthy trees or even your home's wooden structures. Removing the stump eliminates this pest habitat.

Our Professional Grinding Process
Professional stump grinding requires specialized equipment and expertise to achieve complete removal while protecting your landscape and property. Our systematic approach ensures efficient stump elimination with minimal disruption to surrounding areas.
Site preparation begins with clearing the area around the stump and marking underground utilities to prevent damage. We protect nearby plants, structures, and irrigation systems while establishing safe working zones for our equipment.
The grinding process uses powerful rotating cutting wheels to reduce stumps to wood chips, typically grinding 6-12 inches below ground level. This depth ensures complete removal while allowing for new plantings or landscaping in the area.
Cleanup and site restoration complete every job. We remove or redistribute wood chips according to your preferences, backfill the area with topsoil, and can seed or sod the area to match your existing lawn.

Handling Stumps of All Sizes
Every stump presents unique challenges based on size, species, age, and location. Our fleet of grinding equipment ranges from compact units for tight spaces to large track units capable of handling massive stumps from heritage trees.
Small stumps (under 12 inches) can often be ground quickly with minimal site disturbance. These jobs typically complete in a few hours and require minimal cleanup, making them perfect for homeowners wanting to reclaim small areas of their landscape.
Medium stumps (12-30 inches) represent the majority of residential removal projects. These require more powerful equipment and careful planning, especially when located near structures, utilities, or valuable landscaping features.
Large stumps (over 30 inches) demand our most powerful equipment and experienced operators. These projects may require multiple sessions and extensive planning to ensure safe, complete removal without property damage.
Wood Chip Options & Benefits
Keep for Mulch
Fresh wood chips make excellent organic mulch for gardens, landscaping, and around trees. They retain moisture, suppress weeds, and add nutrients as they decompose.
Remove Completely
We can haul away all wood chips if you prefer a clean slate for new landscaping or if the chips don't match your landscape design aesthetic.
Partial Removal
Keep some chips for immediate use in flower beds while having excess removed. This option provides landscaping material without overwhelming your property.
Access Solutions for Any Location
Stump location doesn't limit our ability to provide complete removal service. Our varied equipment fleet includes compact grinders that can navigate through standard gates and larger units for open area projects.
Backyard stumps often present access challenges, but our 36-inch track units can navigate most residential gates and landscaping. These machines provide powerful grinding capability while minimizing lawn damage through rubber track systems.
Tight space situations may require specialized equipment or hand-clearing around the stump. We carefully assess each site to determine the best approach, sometimes using smaller equipment for access and switching to larger units when possible.
Property protection is always our priority. We use plywood pathways to protect lawns, remove fence sections when necessary (with permission), and coordinate with homeowners to ensure minimal landscape disruption while achieving complete stump removal.
