How Our Stump Grinding Works

We use heavy-duty, professional grinders that chew the stump down 4 to 12 inches below grade, depending on your needs. Here’s what the process looks like:

  • On-site inspection to assess the stump size and location

  • Safe grinding around fences, structures, or landscaping

  • Root tracing (when needed) to eliminate future growth

  • Debris haul-off and surface leveling (optional add-on)

  • Ready-for-sod or replant surface prep

📌 Whether the stump is in your front yard, behind a fence, or on a sloped property—we’ve got you covered.
