What Stump Grinding Involves
When a tree is removed, the stump and roots remain. Stump grinding uses a machine with a rotating cutting wheel to chip away the wood until the stump is reduced to below ground level. The resulting wood chips can be left on site for you to use as mulch or we can remove them if you prefer. The area is left ready for you to fill with soil and replant or repurpose.
When to Schedule Stump Work
Stump grinding can be done at the same time as a tree removal or later. If you have just had a tree removed by another contractor, we can still provide stump grinding as a standalone service. We need reasonable access to the stump; we can discuss any obstacles (fences, plantings, utilities) when you contact us.
Pricing and Access
Cost depends on stump size, number of stumps, and access. We give estimates after seeing the site. If you have multiple stumps, we can often do them in one visit. For more on how we quote and schedule, see Our Approach.
After Grinding
Once the stump is ground, you will have a hole or depression filled with wood chips and some soil. You can spread the chips, add topsoil, and seed or sod the area. Large roots may extend beyond the ground surface; we can discuss how deep we grind and what to expect in your situation.
