Why should you remove that old stump (stump grinding)?
Tree stumps are unsightly and end up being a hazard. More than just an inconvenience, they can also bring and foster pests in your yard and home. A tree stump can serve as the home for many types of fungi and bugs, including ants, termites, beetles, and other wood-boring invasive insects. They can attack and carve out the tree stump, but can also cause significant damage to your lawn, other trees, shrubbery, and even your house. Removing the tree stump deprives them of a foothold on your lawn, providing one more layer of protection for your home.

The Stump Grinding Process
Safety First
We always call Gopher State One Call to have all lines located and marked.
Please make sure the area is free of any landscape rock, pet fencing, or other hard materials that could damage equipment and property.
Measure the Stump
Measure the widest diameter (width) at ground level. Include surface roots in the overall measurement if you want them removed too. Typically, stumps should be no more than 6” above the ground or additional charges may apply. A standard grind is about 4″ to 6″ deep.
PRO TIP: Make sure you are measuring at ground level, and NOT the top of the stump.
Pricing
Grinding is generally $5 per inch. For example, a stump that is 20” in width would cost $100. Discounts for multiple stumps. $140 minimum, grinding fee includes trip charge and utilities locating service if deemed necessary.
Additional grinding clean-up and offsite removal are available for an additional cost.
