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 Stump Grinding Matters for Your Landscape

  • Improves Yard Aesthetics: Tree stumps disrupt the look of your lawn or landscape. Grinding them down creates a polished, well-maintained appearance.

  • Eliminates Safety Hazards: Exposed stumps can lead to trips, falls, or injuries — especially for children, pets, or anyone mowing the lawn.

  • Prevents Pest Infestations: Stumps can attract termites, beetles, and carpenter ants. Grinding them reduces the risk of infestations that could spread to nearby trees or your home.

  • Stops Unwanted Regrowth: Some trees continue to send out shoots or grow back if the stump is left behind. Grinding puts an end to that cycle.

Don't worry, we can help!

Frequently Asked Questions – Stump Grinding in Laurinburg

How deep do you grind the stump?

We typically grind stumps 4 to 6 inches below the soil surface, depending on your landscaping needs. If deeper grinding is needed (e.g., for replanting), just let us know.

Can you remove surface roots too?

Yes. If surface roots are visible and causing issues, we can grind them down as part of the service. This helps prevent regrowth and makes your lawn safer.

Will my yard be damaged during stump grinding?

Not at all. Our equipment is designed to minimize impact on surrounding grass or soil. We’re always careful to protect your property and clean up after the job.

What happens to the wood chips?

We can leave the wood chips for mulch or compost, or remove them entirely — your choice! Most clients use them in flower beds or as a natural filler.

Do I need to be home during the stump grinding service?

It’s helpful but not required. As long as we have access to the area, we can complete the job and contact you once it’s done.
