Our Stump Grinding process.
Site check & marking
We confirm utility locations and clear the area around the stump before grinding begins.
Below-grade grinding
A professional grinder takes the stump 6–12 inches below grade so you can replant, sod, or pave over it.
Surface roots
Visible surface roots can be ground out too, on request, to stop regrowth and tripping hazards.
Backfill & cleanup
Grindings raked into the hole or hauled away, your choice, and the area left tidy.
