Gone Below Grade

Stump Grinding

Professional stump grinding that removes stumps 6-12 inches below grade. Reclaim your yard today.

That old stump in your yard isn't just ugly — it's a home for termites, a tripping hazard, and an obstacle for mowing. Our professional stump grinder reduces it to mulch in minutes, leaving you with a clean area ready for grass, garden, or new landscaping.

Stump grinding is the most efficient way to remove a tree stump. Unlike full excavation (which tears up your yard), grinding reduces the stump to wood chips 6-12 inches below grade. The resulting mulch can be left as ground cover, mixed into garden soil, or hauled away. Our commercial-grade grinder handles stumps of any size — from small ornamental stumps to massive oak bases 4 feet across. We also grind surface roots that are cracking sidewalks or invading foundations.

Frequently Asked Questions

How much does stump grinding cost?

Stump grinding costs $100-$400+ per stump depending on diameter. We measure across the widest point at ground level. Multiple stump discounts are available.

How deep do you grind?

Standard grinding is 6 inches below grade. For replanting, we recommend 10-12 inches. Surface roots can be ground to any depth you need.

Can I plant a new tree where the stump was?

Yes, but we recommend grinding at least 10-12 inches deep and amending the soil. The wood chips from grinding can temporarily deplete nitrogen as they decompose.
