Stump Grinding
A stump left behind is a mower-killer and a trip hazard. We grind below grade, chase the surface roots, and backfill so you can seed, sod, or build over the spot.
What's included
- Stump grinding below grade
- Surface root grinding
- Debris and chip removal
- Backfill with topsoil
- Stump removal after our takedowns
- Multiple stump packages
Grinding, not just cutting it flush
We grind 6 to 12 inches below the surrounding grade so the stump will not resurface as the soil settles, and we chase the larger surface roots that catch mower blades. Chips are hauled off or left on site as mulch if you prefer.
Why timing matters
Grinding is easiest soon after removal, while the wood is still sound and the location is fresh in your landscaping plan. Waiting gives suckers time to sprout from the root crown and makes the grind area harder to plan around.
Reclaiming the space
Once the stump is gone we backfill with topsoil and level the area so you can plant, sod, or pour without surprises. If a new tree goes in the same spot, we can recommend species and spacing that avoid the old root zone.
