What Is Stump Grinding?

Stump grinding is exactly what it sounds like. Using a specialized machine to grind a leftover tree stump down below ground level, wood chips and all, until it's gone from view. It's different from full stump removal, which digs out the entire root system; grinding clears the stump itself so the area is usable again, without the cost and yard disruption of pulling out the roots.

When Is Stump Grinding Necessary?

If you've had a tree removed, or a stump's been sitting there for years, it's worth grinding down once it starts getting in the way. A leftover stump is a tripping hazard, can attract termites and other pests, and makes mowing or landscaping around it a hassle. If you're planning a patio, garden bed, or anything new in that spot, the stump needs to go first.

What Is Required For Stump Grinding?

Grinding takes the right equipment for the size of the stump and enough clearance to maneuver it safely around your yard. Before we start, we check for anything buried nearby, like utility lines or irrigation, since grinding goes below the surface. How deep we grind depends on your plans for the space, a little deeper if you're planting or building over it. Once we're done, we clean up the wood chips and debris so your yard is actually ready to use, not just stump-free.
