Reliable Stump Grinding You Can Count On 

Our Stump Grinding Process 

To ensure a smooth and efficient stump grinding experience for all our customers, we follow a process that prioritizes safety, effectiveness, and minimal disruption to your property. 

  • 1

    Thorough Evaluation

    Our Certified Arborists assess the stump’s size, location, and condition to give you a detailed quote. 

  • 2

    Safe Preparation 

    We clear the surrounding area to ensure a secure work environment and for optimal safety.

  • 3

    Precise Grinding 

    Using top-of-the-line equipment, we grind the stump to a safe depth that is well below the soil level.

  • 4

    Clean Up

    After grinding, we will backfill the hole with soil and mulch, leaving a tidy mound of debris. We can also haul the debris offsite, if necessary. 

Stump Size Limitations 

While we can handle most stump grinding projects, there are some size limitations to consider. Stumps must be at least 12 inches in diameter for effective grinding, and we require gate access to be at least 36 inches wide (most standard backyard gates meet this requirement).

Even if your stump doesn't meet these criteria, please contact us for a consultation. We'll assess your situation and recommend alternative solutions.

  • Stump grinders are powerful machines that require specific expertise to operate safely.
