Why Remove a Stump?
Curb Appeal
Old stumps are unsightly and can detract from the look of an otherwise well-kept yard.
Free Up Space
Grinding removes the stump below ground level, allowing you to replant, landscape, or build over the area.
Prevent Hazards
Stumps can be tripping hazards, especially for children, pets, or during yard work.
Stop Regrowth
Grinding eliminates the stump and root collar, helping prevent unwanted suckers or new shoots.
Discourage Pests
Rotting stumps can attract insects like ants, beetles, or even termites over time.
How Stump Grinding Works
We use a specialized machine to grind the stump down well below the surface, typically 6 to 12 inches, depending on your needs. This process creates a mix of mulch and soil, which can be left on-site to decompose or removed upon request.
Our compact grinder can access most residential yards, and we take care to avoid damaging surrounding lawn, garden beds, or irrigation systems
Stump Grinding vs. Removal
Grinding is the most common and cost-effective choice. It removes the stump to below ground level, leaving the deeper roots to decompose naturally. The process is quick, low-impact, and ideal for most residential properties.
Full stump removal involves extracting the entire root system, which can be expensive, disruptive, and unpredictable, especially if the root depth or spread is unknown.
In most cases, stump grinding offers the best balance of efficiency, affordability, and minimal disturbance.
Why Hire a Pro
While renting a stump grinder might seem like a cost-saving option, it often leads to bigger headaches. Rental grinders are typically smaller and less effective, making it hard to fully remove large or mature stumps. Without proper training, it’s easy to damage lawns, underground utilities, or even injure yourself.
We use professional-grade equipment, know how to spot underground risks, and leave your property clean when the job’s done. Plus, we’re fully insured, giving you peace of mind every step of the way.
