Stump Grinding

Why Grind Instead of Leave It

A leftover stump isn't just an eyesore; it's a tripping hazard, a mower obstacle, and in oaks especially, a potential host for root-rot fungus that can spread to nearby trees. Grinding removes the visible stump and enough of the root flare below grade that you can landscape, plant, or pave right over the spot.

• Standard grind: 6-12 inches below grade, backfilled with grindings or soil
• Deep grind available where you're planting a new tree in the same spot
• Multi-stump and old orchard removal for larger properties
• Grindings hauled away, or left on-site as mulch if you'd prefer

Access & Timing

I handle everything from a tight side-yard stump to a full row of old orchard trees. Most single-stump jobs are done same-day. If you're clearing several stumps across a larger property, pair this with my land & lot clearing service for one combined quote.

What's Included

Every stump grinding quote covers the grind itself, a first pass of backfill over the hole, and haul-away of excess grindings. Root removal beyond the flare (for construction or foundation work) is quoted separately after an on-site look.
