Stump Grinding

Leftover stumps are unsightly and hazardous. We grind stumps below grade so you can replant, sod, or landscape right over the area. Our professional stump grinding equipment removes stumps efficiently without damaging surrounding lawns, driveways, or underground utilities. The resulting wood chips can be used as mulch or removed from your property.

• Stumps ground 6-12 inches below grade

• Ready for replanting or sodding immediately

Starting at $100 per stump. Price varies by stump diameter.
