Stump Grinding.

Stumps are tripping hazards, mower-killers, and termite hotels. We grind them well below grade so you can plant grass, lay sod, or just forget the tree was ever there.

Grind it down

Self-propelled grinder handles backyards through 36" gates.

Clean & fill

Pile mulch, haul it, or backfill with topsoil — your call.

A leftover stump is more than an eyesore. It sprouts suckers, hosts carpenter ants and termites, dulls mower blades, and quietly rots underground in ways that can sink the soil around it years later. Grinding is the permanent fix.
We grind 4-8 inches below grade as standard — deep enough to sod, seed, or plant grass right over. Need to put in a fence post, patio, or new tree in the same spot? We can go deeper, just tell us when you book.
All sizes welcome — 4″ sapling stumps to 60″ oak monsters. Tight backyards, fenced gardens, and steep slopes are routine. Pricing is usually per-inch of diameter at grade, with discounts when bundled with removals or done in batches.

What you get out of it.

No more sprouts

Most species stop coming back the moment the stump is gone.

Mower-friendly lawn

Re-seed or sod over the spot and never think about it again.

Pest-free yard

No more carpenter ants, termites, or fungi hosting in the rotting wood.

Replant ready

Grind extra-deep when you want to plant a new tree in roughly the same spot.

Straight From the Chipper

Year-round. Frozen winter ground is easiest on the lawn; spring and summer are best if you plan to seed or sod immediately after.
Typically $4-$6 per inch of stump diameter, with a $150 minimum. Bundled pricing with removals; volume discounts for 3+ stumps.

When to call us — sooner, not later.

Visible lean that's getting worse

Mushrooms or conks growing on the trunk or root flare

Large dead limbs (widow-makers) hanging in the canopy

Cracks, cavities, or peeling bark on the main stem

Heaving soil or exposed roots on one side

Whole sections of the canopy with no leaves in summer

Safety isn't a feature. It's the job.

When should I trim?

Most hardwoods are best in late winter; we trim year- round for safety pruning.

Will you top my tree?

No. Topping wrecks trees long-term. We do proper reduction pruning instead.

How much do you take off?

Industry standard is no more than 25% of the live canopy in a single year — we usually stay well under that on mature trees.

Will trimming hurt the tree?

Done right, no. Clean cuts at the branch collar seal naturally. Done wrong (topping, stubs, flush cuts), absolutely — that's why we don't do it.
