Stump Grinding for a Cleaner Yard

Old tree stumps are more than just an eyesore. They take up usable yard space, attract insects, and can be a tripping hazard. Our stump grinding service grinds stumps below ground level so you can fill the area with soil and use the space however you like.

Why Grind Instead of Dig?

  • Faster and less disruptive than full root extraction
  • No large holes left in your yard
  • Wood chips can be used as mulch or removed
  • More affordable than full stump removal
  • Ready for replanting or landscaping sooner

How Stump Grinding Works

We use professional-grade grinding equipment that chips away at the stump using a rotating cutting wheel. The machine grinds the stump and surface roots down to 6–12 inches below ground level. The process produces wood chips that fill much of the hole naturally. From there, you can top it off with soil and plant grass, add mulch, or prepare the area for a new tree or garden bed.

Most residential stumps can be ground in under an hour, and we clean up the work area before we leave. For properties with multiple stumps, we offer multi-stump pricing.

What You Can Do With the Space After

  • Plant new grass or ground cover
  • Install a garden bed or flower planter
  • Plant a new tree in the same spot
  • Extend a patio, walkway, or play area
  • Use wood chips as free mulch for landscaping

What to Expect

We use professional grinding equipment to reduce the stump to 6–12 inches below ground level. The remaining wood chips can stay as mulch or be hauled away. Once filled with topsoil, the area is ready for grass, a new tree, or whatever you have planned.
