An old stump isn't just ugly — it sprouts suckers, invites carpenter ants, and gets in the way of mowing, fencing and landscaping. Grinding is the fast, clean fix: the machine chews the stump 6–12 inches below grade, you backfill with the grindings or topsoil, and the spot is ready to seed or plant.
We run narrow-access grinders that fit through a 36-inch gate, so backyard stumps aren't a problem. Before grinding we check for utility locates where roots run near service lines — included, not extra.
Yes, but ask us to grind deeper (12–18 inches) and remove the grindings — fresh wood chips tie up nitrogen as they decay and starve a new sapling.
A mound of wood-chip grindings. We rake them into the hole and tamp them, or haul them off and backfill with soil for a bit extra.
We confirm locates before grinding near service runs. Irrigation lines and shallow wiring you know about — tell us, and we'll work around them.
Same day if it's booked together — that's also the cheapest way to do it.
