  2. 2

    Grind Below Grade

  3. 3

    Rake Out the Chips

    We rake up and can haul off or backfill the grindings so the spot is ready to fill with soil and seed.

Stump Grinding Questions

What to know before we grind.

  • How deep do you grind the stump?
    We grind several inches below grade — deep enough for you to fill with soil and plant grass, put in landscaping, or build over the spot.
  • Do you remove the wood chips?
    Your choice. The grindings can be raked into the hole as backfill, or we can haul them away and leave the area clean — just let us know when we give the estimate.
  • Can you grind stumps in a tight or sloped spot?
    Usually, yes. We'll confirm access when we look at the job. Most High Country yards and slopes are no problem for our equipment.
  • Do you grind the roots too?
    We grind the stump and the surface roots flaring from it. Deeper roots are left to decompose naturally, which they do over time once the stump is gone.
  • Can you grind a stump from a tree someone else removed?
    Definitely. We grind stumps whether we took the tree down or not. Point us to it and we'll take care of it.
