Why grind a stump?
That old stump is costing you more than you think
Left alone, a stump can take a decade or more to rot. In the meantime it gets in the way of your mower, invites termites and carpenter ants, sends up suckers and makes your yard look unfinished.
- Removes a trip hazard and mowing obstacle
- Stops new sprouts from coming back
- Takes away a home for termites and pests
- Frees up space for grass, beds or a patio

FAQ
Stump grinding questions, answered
How deep do you grind the stump?
Most stumps are ground 6 to 12 inches below the surface, which is deep enough to plant grass or lay sod over the spot. If you plan to put in a new tree, patio or fence post right there, let us know and the crew can go deeper or remove more roots.
What happens to the wood chips?
Grinding turns the stump into a pile of chips and soil. Many homeowners keep them as mulch. If you would rather have them hauled away and the hole backfilled with topsoil, just mention it when you request your quote.
Do I need to be home during the job?
Usually not. As long as the crew can reach the stump (an open gate, no pets in the yard), most jobs are done while you are at work.
Will grinding damage my lawn or nearby plants?
Crews use compact grinders that fit through most gates and protect nearby surfaces. Some lawn disturbance right around the stump is normal, and it grows back quickly once the area is raked and seeded.
Is stump grinding the same as stump removal?
No. Grinding chews the stump down below ground and leaves the deep roots to decay naturally. Removal pulls out the stump and the main roots. Grinding is faster and less expensive, so it is the right choice for most yards.
