Professional Stump Removal

Leftover stumps are trip hazards, attract pests, and can resprout. We grind stumps below grade, trace and reduce major roots as needed, and leave the area tidy—ready for new landscape plans or hardscape work.

  • Stump grinding to your specified depth (typ. 6–12"+)
  • Root tracing for sidewalks, driveways, & planting beds
  • Chip/soil handling: remove, leave, or blend backfill
  • Utility locate coordination when required
  • Neat finish with rake-out and level grade

Great For

  • Replanting the area or installing sod
  • Preventing trip hazards & mower damage
  • Discouraging pests and regrowth/suckers
  • Clearing space for patios, paths, or fences
  • Smoothing grade for better drainage

1) Assessment & Quote

We measure stump diameter/depth, note species and access, check for utilities, and confirm your finish goals.

2) Grind & Trace Roots

Grind stump to the requested depth, chase critical roots near hardscape/planting zones, and manage chips/soil per plan.

3) Backfill & Clean Up

Backfill cavity, rough-grade and rake smooth; chip removal or leave-on-site options available.

Stump Removal FAQ

Typical depth is 6–12" below grade, deeper on request for replanting or hardscape plans. We’ll recommend a depth based on your goals.

We grind the main stump and can trace major roots that impact your plans (e.g., near sidewalks or garden beds). Entire root removal is often unnecessary and can disturb utilities/soil structure.

We can haul chips away, leave them on-site, or blend with soil for backfill. We finish with a level grade and tidy rake-out.
