Stump Grinding and Removal
A stump left behind sprouts, rots and draws termites. We grind it below grade and leave you a spot you can sod or plant.

How stump grinding works with us
- 1
Mark it

- 2
Grind
The cutter wheel works the stump down below grade and out along the main roots.
- 3
Finish
Grindings raked level or removed, soil left ready for sod or planting.
FAQ
Stump Grinding questions
How deep do you grind?
Six to twelve inches below grade on most stumps, deeper if you plan to build or pour over the spot.
Can you get into a fenced backyard?
Yes. We run a narrow machine that fits through a standard gate.
Can I plant grass right after?
Once the grindings are removed or mixed with topsoil, yes. Grindings left in a pile will take a season to break down.
