Stump grinding, ground low enough to plant

Stumps are ground below grade, along with the surface roots that catch a mower — how deep depends on the site. Old stumps from somebody else’s job are welcome.

Two finishes

Grind & mound

Grindings stay on site, raked into a low mound. The most affordable option; it settles over a season.

Grind, haul & topsoil

Grindings hauled off, topsoil brought in and graded. Ask for this if you’re sodding or replanting.

Before we roll in

Gate width matters. Measure your narrowest opening and put it on the form so the right equipment gets scheduled.
A utility locate is arranged before grinding starts. Nobody should be cutting blind near gas or electric.
Flag your irrigation heads and invisible fence. They hide well in tall grass.
A single stump is usually a short visit — we’ll confirm timing with your estimate.

Planting where the stump was

Grindings are wood, not soil — they rob nitrogen while they break down. To put a new tree in the same spot, dig the grindings out, backfill with topsoil, and plant a few feet off the old center. Ask on the form and we’ll include it in the estimate.

Got a stump count?

Tell us how many and roughly how wide across the top. Several stumps on one visit usually price better than one at a time.
