A leftover stump catches toes and mower blades, and it keeps pushing up suckers season after season. Our grinder chews it down to a pile of chips beneath the sod.

We grind the stump and the main surface roots, then rake the chips into the hole or haul them away. You can plant grass or a bed there the same season.

When a stump should go

It sits where you want lawn, a patio or a flower bed
New shoots keep coming up around it
Mushrooms or insects have moved into the old wood
It is a tripping risk near a path or play area
You plan to plant a replacement tree nearby

How stump grinding works

Call for utility locates before we dig
Grind the stump 15 to 20 cm below the grass
Chase the main surface roots a short way out
Fill the hole with chips or haul them, your choice

What it costs

A single stump usually runs $150 to $450, depending on diameter and access. Grind three or four in one trip and each one gets cheaper; the written quote shows the total.

Old ash stumps are hard and wide

Many East Credit yards still hold stumps from ash trees taken down after emerald ash borer. Those stumps have dried hard and often sit next to fences. Our narrow grinder fits through a standard backyard gate.

Questions about stump grinding

How deep do you grind?

Usually 15 to 20 cm below the grass, which is enough for sod or seed. We can go deeper for a new tree or a patio base.

Do you remove the roots too?

We grind the main surface roots near the stump. Deeper roots break down on their own in the soil.

What happens to the chips?

We can rake them into the hole, leave them for mulch or haul them away.

Can a new tree go in the same spot?

It is better to plant a short way off, since old roots and chips take time to break down.
