Trees leaning toward homes, power lines, or fences.

Overcrowded or invasive tree growth.

Lot or landscape clearing for construction.

Roots damaging driveways, sidewalks, or plumbing.

Stump Removal & Grinding Services

Why Remove the Stump?

Once the tree is gone, the stump can still be a problem. It may:

Become a tripping hazard.

Attract termites and insects.

Interfere with landscaping plans.

Rot and damage to surrounding soil.

That’s why we also offer professional stump removal and grinding services.

Our Stump Grinding Process

We use commercial-grade stump grinders that reduce stumps well below ground level. Our team ensures minimal disruption to your yard and can either haul away the wood chips or leave them for use as mulch.

Stump grinding is available as an add-on to any tree removal job or as a standalone service if you have old stumps on your property.

Full Root Removal (Optional)

In some cases—especially before construction or major landscape changes—you may need full root removal. We can discuss this during your estimate and include it in your custom quote.
