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.

Equipment Setup

We use high-powered stump grinding machines that are built to get the job done right the first time. Our crew positions the equipment to access the stump at the best angle while protecting your surrounding landscape.

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.

Benefits of Professional Stump Grinding

  • Improved Curb Appeal: Nothing ruins a beautiful yard like an old rotting stump. Grinding it down opens up space and creates a cleaner look instantly.1

  • Prevent Pest Infestations: Tree stumps attract termites, ants, beetles, and even snakes. Grinding eliminates a major pest magnet before it becomes a problem.

  • Avoid Lawn Equipment Damage: Hidden stumps can cause serious damage to mowers and other lawn care equipment. Grinding eliminates these hazards completely.

  • Encourage Healthy Growth: Stumps can leach nutrients from your soil and restrict healthy grass or plant growth. Removing them revitalizes your yard’s potential.

Don't worry, we can help!
