That old stump is a lawnmower obstacle, a trip hazard, and an open invitation to carpenter ants. We grind it below grade so you can seed, sod, or plant right over it.
Stumps don't just look bad - they sprout suckers, attract carpenter ants and decay fungi, and get in the way of mowing every single week. Our self-propelled grinder chews the stump down 6 to 12 inches below grade, along with the visible surface roots, leaving a bed of clean wood chips.
From there you choose: we can leave the chips as natural mulch fill, or haul them away and backfill with topsoil so the spot is ready for seed or sod immediately. Our compact grinder fits through standard gates, so backyard stumps are no problem.
We assess the job in person — the trees, access, and hazards — and leave you a clear written quote with no obligation.
Our licensed crew arrives on schedule with the right equipment, protecting your home, lawn, and landscaping throughout.
Debris hauled away, the site raked clean, and a final walkthrough with you to make sure everything is exactly right.
Every property is different, so we quote every job in person — free. These are the factors that shape your estimate:
| Factor | How it affects your quote |
|---|---|
| Stump diameter | Grinding is largely priced by stump size, measured at the widest point. |
| Number of stumps | Multiple stumps in one visit are cheaper per stump - the machine's already there. |
| Depth & roots | Deeper grinds for replanting, or extensive surface roots, add machine time. |
| Cleanup & haul-away | Full debris removal is included in our quotes — if you'd like wood left for firewood, it can lower the price. |
