How We Perform Stump Grinding at H&L Tree Service

Site Evaluation & Safety Assessment

Before we touch any equipment, we assess the area around the stump to make sure it’s safe and accessible. This includes identifying any underground utilities or nearby structures and planning for optimal safety during the grinding process.

Stump Grinding Begins

Our team gradually grinds the stump down below surface level — typically 6 to 12 inches deep — ensuring that the root system is no longer a hazard or eyesore. We break the stump down into mulch for easy removal or repurposing.

Root Flare Management

If necessary, we’ll also grind out exposed root flares that extend from the stump and can continue to cause issues in your yard. This helps avoid regrowth and improves the final appearance of the area.

Site Cleanup

Once the grinding is complete, we clean up the wood chips and debris or leave them for you to use as mulch — your choice. We always leave your property cleaner than we found it.

Final Inspection & Recommendations

After grinding, we inspect the site and provide recommendations for next steps, whether it’s reseeding, sodding, or preparing the area for landscaping or new tree planting.

Why You Should Consider Professional Stump Grinding

  • Improved Appearance: Nothing cleans up your curb appeal faster than removing an old or rotting tree stump. It’s a quick way to make your yard look well-kept.

  • Safety First: Stumps are a tripping hazard — especially for kids or guests. Grinding them down prevents potential accidents or injuries.

  • Prevent Termite & Pest Problems: Tree stumps are a welcome mat for termites, ants, and beetles. We’ll grind them down and remove the risk.

  • Stop Unwanted Growth: Leftover stumps can sprout new growth or send roots into pipes and foundations. Stump grinding stops that before it starts.

Don't worry, we can help!
