Our stump grinding services help:
  • Eliminate tripping hazards in yards

  • Make mowing and maintenance easier
  • Prepare areas for replanting or future projects

We use professional stump grinding equipment to reduce stumps safely and efficiently while limiting disruption to your property.

Stump Grinding

for Homeowners

Most homeowners choose stump grinding to improve safety and appearance. Old stumps can attract insects, collect moisture, and interfere with landscaping plans.

Our residential stump grinding process includes:

Assessing stump size and location

Grinding the stump below ground level

Managing wood chips and debris from the process

Leaving the area ready for soil, grass, or landscaping

We take care to protect nearby structures, utilities, and existing landscaping during the job.

Stump Removal After Tree Removal

or Storm Damage

Stump grinding is often requested after tree removal or storm damage cleanup. Fallen or damaged trees frequently leave behind large stumps that need to be addressed separately.

We commonly provide stump grinding for:

  • Recently removed trees
  • Storm-damaged trees
  • Multiple stumps on the same property
  • Stumps in hard-to-reach or tight areas

Removing the stump helps complete the job and prevents future issues.

Grinding Large

and Hard-to-Reach Stumps

Some stumps are larger or located in areas that require careful access. Our team has experience handling a wide range of stump sizes and locations, including stumps near homes, fences, and driveways.

Each stump grinding job is planned with safety in mind to reduce risk and avoid unnecessary damage to surrounding areas.
