Stump services
Most stumps only need grinding. When you are building, adding a patio or regrading, we can remove the stump and roots completely.
Stump grinding
Grinding the stump below grade so grass, beds or new plantings can go back in.
Full stump removal
Digging out the stump and root ball with our excavator for construction or hardscape.
Surface root grinding
Grinding exposed roots that trip people up or get in the way of mowing.
Cleanup and backfill
Raking out grindings and filling the hole so the area is level and ready to use.
Large and multiple stumps
From one stubborn oak stump to clearing dozens across a yard or lot.
Stumps left by others
We can remove stumps left behind after another company's tree work.
Grinding or full removal?
Grinding takes the stump down below the surface and leaves the roots to break down naturally. It is the quickest option and works well for lawns and planting beds.
Full removal digs out the stump and the main roots. It makes sense when you are pouring a slab, building a wall or patio, or regrading the area.
What we look at on site
Size and number. The width of each stump and how many there are.
Access. Gates, slopes and tight spots determine which equipment we bring.
What is nearby. Foundations, walkways, irrigation and buried lines.
What comes next. Lawn, beds or construction, which decides between grinding and removal.

Stump grinding questions
How deep do you grind?
Deep enough that grass or plants can grow over the spot. If you plan to build or pour concrete there, we recommend full removal instead.
What happens to the grindings?
We can rake them into the hole, spread them as mulch, or haul them away.
Can you grind stumps from trees someone else cut down?
Yes. We grind and remove stumps no matter who took the tree down.
Do the roots grow back?
Most trees do not sprout again once the stump is ground. A few species can send up shoots for a season, and we can tell you if yours is one of them.
Can you remove a stump near my house or patio?
Yes. We work carefully around foundations, walkways and stonework, and we will point out anything nearby that needs protecting.
