When stump grinding is the right call

Remove stumps so your yard is usable again

Stump grinding is recommended when you want a clean, level yard after a removal, need room for sod or landscaping, or want to eliminate trip hazards and nuisance regrowth. We assess access, nearby hardscapes, irrigation, and utilities, then recommend the best approach for a clean finish with minimal disruption.

  • Stump is in the way of mowing or landscaping
  • You are installing sod, plants, or hardscape
  • Trip hazard in a walkway or play area
  • Stump is attracting pests or holding moisture
  • Surface roots creating bumps or uneven ground
  • You want to prevent unwanted sprouts and regrowth

How we work

Our stump grinding process

Every stump grinding job starts with a quick assessment and ends with a clean, level finish. We confirm access, check nearby structures and underground considerations, then grind the stump below grade so you can move forward with sod, landscaping, or a simple yard refresh.

Stump grinding assessment icon

ASSESSMENT

We measure the stump and check access, nearby fences or hardscapes, and any surface root flare. We also discuss your goal, such as leveling, re-sodding, or planting.

Work zone setup and protection icon

SAFETY SETUP

We establish a clear work zone and position equipment to keep the grind controlled. We take care around landscaping, patios, and areas where debris control matters most.

Below-grade stump grinding icon

CONTROLLED GRINDING

We grind the stump down below the soil line to eliminate the visible stump and reduce regrowth risk. For tight spaces, we plan approach and equipment placement to keep impact low.

Stump grinding cleanup and finish icon

CLEANUP AND OPTIONS

We rake and tidy the area. Grinding debris can be left as mulch to help fill the space, or removed if you prefer a cleaner finish. Optional add-ons include surface root grinding and haul-away.

Stump grinding for tight access and clean finishes

Not every stump is easy to reach. Fences, narrow side yards, patios, and landscaping can limit access. We plan each job so we can grind stumps efficiently while keeping disruption to a minimum and leaving a finished result you can actually use.

  • Tight access behind fences, in side yards, or near screen enclosures
  • Stumps close to patios, driveways, or hardscapes
  • Multiple stumps from a recent removal or storm cleanup
  • Surface roots causing bumps and uneven ground
  • Options for leaving mulch vs haul-away
  • Prep for sod, landscaping, or replanting
