Professional Stump Grinding & Removal
Complete stump elimination using professional equipment, leaving your yard ready for new landscaping projects.
Complete Stump Elimination
After tree removal, the remaining stump can be an eyesore and obstacle in your landscape. Our professional stump grinding service completely eliminates stumps below ground level, leaving no trace behind.
We use powerful, self-propelled stump grinders that can handle stumps of any size, from small ornamental trees to massive oak and pine stumps. Our equipment grinds the stump and major roots into fine wood chips.
The area is then backfilled with the wood chips, leaving your yard level and ready for grass seed, sod, or new plantings. No unsightly stump remains to interfere with your landscaping plans.
Why Remove Tree Stumps?
Tree stumps create numerous problems for homeowners beyond their unsightly appearance. They can harbor insects, diseases, and fungi that may spread to healthy plants in your landscape.
Stumps also present safety hazards, especially for children playing in the yard or when operating lawn equipment. They can cause trips and falls, and mower blades can be damaged by hidden stumps in tall grass.
Many tree species will continue sprouting new growth from the stump, creating multiple small trunks that can be difficult to control. Professional grinding prevents this regrowth completely.

Stump Grinding vs. Stump Removal
When dealing with unwanted tree stumps, homeowners have two main options: grinding or complete removal. Understanding the differences helps you choose the best approach for your situation.
Stump Grinding Benefits
Stump grinding is the most popular and cost-effective option. The process is faster, less invasive to your landscape, and typically costs 50-75% less than complete removal. It eliminates the visible stump and prevents sprouting while leaving the root system to naturally decay underground.
Complete Stump Removal
Complete removal involves excavating the entire stump and root ball, leaving a large hole that must be filled with soil. This method is necessary when replanting in the exact same location or when the root system could interfere with construction.
Choosing the Right Method
For most homeowners, stump grinding provides the best value and results. The wood chips produced can be used as mulch in other areas of your landscape, adding organic matter to your soil as they decompose.
Professional Equipment Makes the Difference
Our commercial-grade stump grinders can handle stumps up to 36 inches in diameter and grind them below ground level efficiently. These machines are tracked or self-propelled, allowing access to tight spaces while minimizing lawn damage.
