What stump grinding does
A grinder chews the stump down below the surface, so you can cover it with soil or rock and use the space again. It is faster and cleaner than digging a stump out by hand.
Why not leave the stump
Stumps get in the way of mowing and landscaping, people trip on them, and rotting wood can attract insects. Some trees can also sprout new growth from the stump.
What affects the price
The number of stumps and the add-ons you pick: surface root grinding, soil fill and haul-away of the chips. The estimate on this page shows a range.
Before we grind
Tell us about sprinkler lines, drip irrigation or anything buried near the stump. In Arizona, call 811 before digging so buried utility lines can be marked.
