Mowing around a stump every week gets old. It also draws ants and throws up suckers. Our grinder turns it to chips down past the soil line, and the space is yours again.
The machine rolls through most side gates. Main surface roots come out along with the stump, and the hole is backfilled with chips or topsoil, your pick.
Time to grind the stump if
- You keep mowing around it or catching the blade
- Suckers keep sprouting from the stump or roots
- Ants, beetles or fungus have moved in
- You want a patio, shed, flower bed or sod there
- It is a tripping hazard for kids or guests
How we grind a stump
- Call for utility locates before we dig
- Grind the stump 15 to 30 cm below the ground
- Chase main surface roots that would lift sod
- Fill the hole with chips or topsoil
- Rake the area smooth and haul away extra chips
What it usually costs
Budget $150 to $450 for a single stump; width and access decide where it lands. Each added stump in the same visit is cheaper than the first.

After the emerald ash borer, many Applewood yards lost an ash tree and kept the stump. By now that wood has gone punky and full of ants and fungus, which makes for fast, clean grinding.
Questions about stump grinding and removal
How deep do you grind?
Usually 15 to 30 cm down. That leaves room for sod or a flower bed, and we can go further for a patio or footing.
Will grinding make a mess?
Expect a pile of chips, nothing more. Around the stump's edge we slow down to protect the lawn, and the chips either backfill the hole or leave with us.
Can your grinder fit through my gate?
Most standard side gates are wide enough for our compact machine. Mention a narrow one and we will plan around it.
Will the roots grow back?
Most trees will not sprout once the stump is ground. A few, like poplar and willow, may send up shoots that we can treat.
