Why grind it out

Left alone, many species send up suckers and you end up cutting the same tree for years. Stumps also draw termites and carpenter ants closer to the house, and they block replanting, paving, and fencing.

How deep we go

Deep enough to replant. There is no single number worth quoting, because depth follows the tree — a bigger trunk sits on a bigger root plate, so a bigger stump gets ground deeper. We set it to the tree in front of us and tell you the depth when we quote.

What it looks like after

You are left with a hole and a pile of grindings. We can backfill with the grindings or haul them off and leave it ready for soil. Tell us which you want.

What customers said

Jorge and his team were fast, punctual, courteous, and clean. He arrived to provide an estimate exactly when he said and also showed up on time with his crew for the day of the job. His team came in and completed the tree and stump removal extremely quickly and cleaned up the work area as well as other parts of the house. Jorge even offered to provide extra services under the initially estimated price. 10/10 will work with him again.

These guys just came to my house and quickly removed a tree stump down to a foot below ground level. It was a tricky job because the stump was right up against a fence and was pushing the fence over. My neighbor and I were in the process of fixing the fence so it was very beneficial that these guys were available to do the work ASAP. They were courteous and professional and now we can fix the fence correctly.

Questions

About stump grinding

How deep do you grind a stump?

Deep enough to replant. There is no single number worth quoting, because a bigger trunk sits on a bigger root plate. We set the depth to the tree and tell you what it will be when we quote.

Are estimates really free?

Yes. We come out, look at the tree, and give you a written price. There is no charge and no obligation to book.

Is cleanup included?

Always. We chip the brush on site, rake the ground, and haul the debris off. It is part of the job, not an add-on.

Is there a minimum job size?

No. One small tree is fine, and so is a whole lot. Ask either way.
