Start Your ProjectWhat Stump Grinding Covers
Stump grinding uses a machine with a toothed wheel to chip a stump down into mulch, several inches below ground level. That is the difference between grinding and full stump removal: grinding leaves the deeper roots in place to rot away on their own, which is faster, cheaper and far less tearing up of your yard than digging the whole root ball out.
We can grind a fresh stump right after we take a tree down, or come back for old ones that have sat for years. Grinding leaves a pile of wood chips and a low spot. We rake the chips level, and you can keep them as mulch or have us haul them off.

- The spot left ready for sod or planting
Why Not Just Leave It?
A stump does not just sit there. The dead wood draws termites, ants and fungus close to the house, and many trees push up new shoots from the stump and roots for months, so you end up fighting the tree all over again. A ground-out stump stops the sprouting, clears the hazard and gives you back the space. In the heavy clay soil common here, a rotting root ball can also leave a soft, sinking spot in the lawn.

What Customers Are Saying
Why Homeowners Pick S&L to Grind Stumps
Ground Below the Surface
We do not shave the stump flush and call it done. The grinder takes it several inches below grade, so you can lay sod or plant over it and so it will not sprout again.
Your Yard Left Level
Grinding throws chips and leaves a dip. We rake the chips back into the hole or haul them off, so you are left with a level spot, not a mess to clean up.
Removal and Grinding Together
Taking a tree down and want the stump gone too? We can do both on the same visit and quote them together, so you are not booking two separate trips.

It depends on the width of the stump, how many you have and how easily the grinder can reach them. There is no flat rate, so we look first and give you a free quote.
What is the difference between grinding and stump removal?
Grinding chips the stump down below ground and leaves the deeper roots to rot away on their own. Full removal digs out the whole root ball, which tears up more of the yard and costs more. For most homeowners, grinding is the better call.
How deep do you grind the stump?
Usually several inches below the surface, deep enough to lay sod or plant grass over the spot and to stop the stump from sprouting. We can go deeper if you plan to plant a new tree in the same place.
What happens to the wood chips?
You get a pile of chips where the stump was. We rake them back into the hole or spread them as mulch, and we can haul them off if you would rather have them gone.
Will the tree grow back after grinding?
Grinding below grade stops most stumps from sprouting. A few aggressive species can still push up shoots from the roots for a while. If that happens it is easy to deal with, and we can talk you through it.
Can you grind a stump another company left?
Yes. We grind stumps left behind by other crews all the time. Send a photo and the rough width and we will quote it.
