If you have an ugly tree stump taking up space in your yard, now is the time to get it removed.

Our stump grinder is large enough to tackle any size stump, but small enough to fit through a gate to access almost any yard.
We use a stump grinder with a spinning carbide-tipped steel wheel. Once the stump grinder is in place, we move the wheel side to side and into the ground. The wheel spins, grinding the stump with each movement. We have the equipment, training, and expertise needed to completely remove the stump, making sure there’s no chance for regrowth.
Stump grinding leaves a lot of wood shavings, which we can leave for you to use, or you can choose to have us level the ground to the same elevation as the adjacent soil.

Stump grinding is a mechanical process that uses a machine called a stump grinder that operates similarly to a wood chipper.
The stump grinder is run over the stump, chipping it into mulch-size pieces, obliterating the stump several inches below ground.
There are a few reason you may want to grind a stump:
- Stumps can pose a tripping hazard
- Stumps block areas that could be used for new planting
- Dead tree stumps attract pests
- A rotting stump can become diseased, which can spread to surrounding trees and plants
The time to grind a stump depends on several things, including the size of the stump and the type of tree stump it is - hardwood stumps take longer to grind than softwood.

Stump grinders are very noisy - so noisy that stump grinder operators wear ear protection when using the grinders!
No. Stump grinding will leave a hole where the stump was, but this hole will be filled with the ground wood chips. You can remove these wood chips and fill the hole with soil as you see fit.
Stump grinding can send off bits of wood and buried rocks. While damage isn't typical, there is always a slight risk.
Grinding a stump yourself is an option; however, you should be sure to compare the cost of renting a stump grinder and any additional equipment you need to buy against the cost of hiring a professional stump grinding service.
It's also good to know that the work is very labor intensive. Make sure that isn't an issue for you.
Leftover grindings can be left in place, removed and used as mulch, or they can be hauled away.
