Why grind a stump?
- Stumps are trip hazards and get in the way of mowing
- Some trees, like alders, maples and cottonwoods, can resprout from the stump
- Decaying stumps can attract insects and fungi
- A ground-out stump frees up space for lawn, planting or hardscape
How stump grinding works
A stump grinder chips the stump down below ground level, along with the top of the main roots, leaving a mix of wood chips and soil. We'll talk with you about what you plan to do with the area and how to handle the grindings.
Before we grind
Underground utilities — gas, water, irrigation, electrical and cable — need to be located before grinding. We'll go over this with you when we quote the job.
Add it to a removal or book it on its own
Stump grinding is often done right after a tree removal, but we also grind old stumps left behind by other jobs or previous owners.
