Stump Grinding
Stump Grinding in Minneapolis & St. Paul
Grind out the leftover stump, reclaim the space, and get the yard back to something you can mow, plant or build on.
A Leftover Stump Is More Than an Eyesore
Stumps take up usable yard, damage mower blades, trip kids and guests, and sprout suckers for years. Decaying stumps also attract insects and fungus close to the house.
Grinding chews the stump and upper root flare down below grade so the area can be filled, seeded, mulched or landscaped over. It is the cleanest way to finish a removal.
What You Get
Below-Grade Grinding
The stump and root flare are ground down so the spot can be finished.
Usable Yard Again
Replant, seed, mulch or extend the lawn over the area.
No More Sprouts
Grinding stops the regrowth that keeps coming back after a cut.
Tidy Finish
Grindings raked out or removed, depending on what you prefer.
Bundled With Removal
Add grinding to a removal so it is handled in one visit.
