Tree Service
Ground Down, Yard Ready
A stump left in place is a trip hazard for kids, pets, and mowers, and it attracts pests and disease as it decays.
We grind it out below grade so your yard is actually usable again, not just a bump you have to work around.
Why Grind It
Why Grind the Stump
A leftover stump is a trip hazard for kids, pets, and mowers, and it attracts pests and disease as it decays in place.
Grinding it out also clears the way for new grass, planting, or a landscaping or hardscape project.
Equipment
Professional Grinding Equipment
We use professional-grade grinding equipment to chew the stump and surface roots down below grade, not just cut it off at ground level.
This gets you an actually usable patch of yard, not a stump-shaped bump you still have to mow around.
Depth
How Deep We Grind
Typical depth is 6-12 inches below grade, depending on what you're planning for the spot next.
If you want to plant a new tree or install a patio in the same footprint, let us know during your estimate so we grind deep enough for it.
| Situation | Approach | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| Single stump, replanting grass | Standard grind, 6-8in below grade | Ready for topsoil and seed |
| Multiple stumps or a lot | Bulk grinding | Priced per job |
| Stump near a patio or driveway | Careful, hand-guided grinding | Protects hardscape edges |
| Replanting a new tree | Deeper grind, root work | Discuss depth during estimate |
Debris
What Happens to the Grindings
You can have the grindings hauled away completely, or we can leave them on-site as mulch or fill — your call.
Either way, the area is cleaned up before we leave.
What's Next
Getting Your Yard Ready for What's Next
Once the stump is gone, the spot is ready for grass, a new planting, or a hardscape project like a patio or driveway extension.
As a concrete contractor as well as a tree service, we can handle that next step too.
