What Is Stump Grinding?
Stump grinding uses a machine with a spinning cutting wheel to chip a stump down below ground level. The stump turns into wood chips, which can be used as mulch or raked out and replaced with topsoil. The roots stay underground and break down naturally over time.
How Does a Stump Grinder Work?
The grinder's cutting wheel has hardened teeth that spin at high speed. The operator moves the wheel side to side across the stump, lowering it a few inches with each pass until the stump is ground below the surface. Smaller machines fit through backyard gates, so most stumps can be reached.

Stump Grinding FAQs
How deep do you grind stumps?
Usually several inches below ground level, deep enough for grass or topsoil. Deeper grinding is available if you plan to plant or build.
What happens to the wood chips?
We can leave them as mulch or rake them out. Many homeowners fill the hole with topsoil and plant grass.
Will the stump grow back?
Grinding stops most regrowth. A few sprouts may appear from roots and can be cut back.
Can you grind a stump from a tree someone else removed?
Yes. We grind old stumps on their own, not just after our own removals.
