Stump grinding
Clear the stump. Get the yard back.
A stump left in the ground decides what your family can do with that part of the yard. Grinding it out gives the space back — for grass the kids can run on, a bed, a fence line or a patio.
Scope set on site
Depth and spread depend on what the stump is doing.
How deep and how wide we grind is decided after looking at the stump: its diameter, how far the shoulder roots run, what is buried nearby, and what you and your family plan to do with the space afterward. Grinding for turf is a different scope than grinding for a fence post or a new planting, and we write down which one you are getting.
Inspection first
We check for irrigation, low-voltage lighting, utility markers, buried rock and hardscape edges around the stump before the wheel touches it.
Depth for the outcome
Deeper and wider where you are replanting or resodding, shallower where the area is staying as a bed. The agreed depth goes in the written scope.
Grindings handled your way
Grindings can be hauled off, or backfilled into the hole and tamped so the ground settles level. Some customers keep them as mulch — tell us which you want.
What the finished area looks like
The goal is an area you can use without thinking about it again. What that means in practice depends on the ground and the outcome you asked for, so we agree on it before the machine is unloaded rather than guessing afterwards.
- Ready to seed or lay sod over
- Ready to replant, once the grindings are removed and soil brought in
- Backfilled and tamped for a level walking surface
- Cleared for a fence line, a bed edge or a small hardscape project
Ground settles and root fragments can remain outside the grind area, so we describe the result honestly rather than guaranteeing a finished lawn. Site levelling and soil work beyond the grind can be quoted alongside it if you want it done in the same visit.
Send a photo of the stump.
A photo with something for scale beside it, the address, and what you want the area to become. We will confirm access, set the depth on site and put the scope in writing.
