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.
