Leftover stumps can quickly become a nuisance. They make your yard look unfinished, invite pests, and pose tripping hazards. At Arbor Services Inc. we help homeowners and business owners reclaim their outdoor spaces with fast, clean, and complete stump grinding solutions.

Problematic Tree Stumps Ruin Your Landscape

Once a tree is removed, what’s left behind can be just as frustrating. Stumps are not only unsightly—they can attract termites and fungi, damage your mower, and interfere with new landscaping plans. Worse, some stumps can even sprout back over time.

Get Rid of the Problem for Good

Grinding a stump down is one of the most effective ways to eliminate these issues. Our team uses powerful equipment to turn the stump into mulch, remove root structures, and level the ground—leaving behind nothing but clean, usable space.

Our Stump Grinding Services

Our process goes beyond the basics. Here’s what we include with every stump removal project:

Debris Cleanup and Disposal

As part of our stump grinding service, we grind each stump down approximately 6 inches below grade to ensure a clean, even surface for future landscaping or lawn restoration. Once grinding is complete, we meticulously smooth the wood chips and debris back out, leaving the area level with the surrounding ground for a neat and finished appearance. This thorough cleanup ensures minimal disruption to your property and a professional result every time.

Once grinding begins, our equipment is designed to minimize mess and disruption. By the time we’re finished, the area will be clean, flat, and free of hazards. You won’t have to worry about a thing.

Frequently Asked Questions

  • How deep do you grind the stump?

    Typically 4–6 inches below ground level, though we can go deeper if needed for landscaping or planting.

  • Will the stump grow back?

    No. Once it’s ground or removed entirely, regrowth is extremely unlikely.

  • Can I plant something in the same spot?

    Yes. We level and prepare the area so it’s ready for grass, flowers, or a new tree.

  • How long does stump grinding take?

    Most jobs take under an hour, depending on size, location, and number of stumps.
