A ground-down stump is gone for good.
Left alone, a stump can sprout new growth, attract termites and carpenter ants, rot into a soft hazard, and get in the way of mowing and landscaping.
Our stump grinders chew the stump and surface roots down below ground level, turning the wood into mulch you can keep or have us remove. No chemicals, no digging up your whole yard.
Within a couple of hours, the stump is gone and the spot is ready for grass, a garden bed, or a new tree.

Questions Homeowners Ask Us
How deep do you grind the stump?
Typically 15–30cm below grade — deep enough to re-sod, plant grass, or start a garden bed over the spot.
What happens to the wood chips?
They’re yours to keep as mulch, or we can backfill the hole with them or haul them away — your choice.
Can you grind stumps in a tight backyard?
Yes. Our machines fit through standard gates, and we have options for hard-to-reach spots.
Do you grind the roots too?
We grind the stump and visible surface roots. Deep lateral roots are left to decompose naturally and rarely cause issues.
How is grinding different from stump removal?
Grinding turns the stump into mulch below grade — faster and less disruptive. Full removal digs out the root ball and leaves a larger hole.
