Stump Grinding or Full Stump Removal?
Stump Grinding
Right for most yardsWe grind the stump down below the surface and the roots break down naturally over time. It's faster and causes less disruption to your lawn.
Full Stump Removal
For building or replantingWe pull out the stump and its main roots. It leaves a bigger hole and disturbs more of your yard, but it's needed if you're building or planting in that exact spot.

Stump Grinding Questions
How much does stump grinding cost?
It depends on the size, number and location of your stumps. Your estimate is free.
How deep do you grind?
Below ground level, so you can cover the spot with soil and grass or replant.
Do I need grinding or full removal?
Most yards only need grinding. Full removal makes sense if you're building or planting in that exact spot. We'll recommend the right option during your estimate.
Will the stump grow back?
Grinding removes the stump below the surface, so it can't regrow from the stump itself. Some trees may send up small shoots from leftover roots, which can simply be cut back.
Do you clean up afterwards?
Yes. Cleanup is included on every job.
Can you remove the stump when you take down my tree?
Yes. Just ask us to include stump grinding in your tree removal estimate.
Are you insured?
Yes, we're fully insured on every job.
