Tree Stumps Make Great Homes for Pests
Annoying bugs that can damage your home, like carpenter ants and termites, often live and thrive in stumps of trees that are long gone. Get rid of your tree stump before these bugs become serious problems.
Tree Stumps Are Unattractive
Like you, your neighbors can be bothered by tree stumps … not only because they distract from their view but also because tree stumps can lower the value of their home, too. The truth is that it certainly makes your home appear to be less valuable.
The Roots of a Tree Stump Can Damage Your Home
People often ignore tree stumps, but the roots of these trouble-makers may cause serious damage if they grow into the pipes of your home. Replacing water lines can be much more expensive than removing a stump.

Stump Grinding FAQs
How long does it take to grind a stump?
Most stump grinding jobs take 30–60 minutes, depending on the size and location. We get it done quickly and cleanly so you can move on with your day.
Will the stump come out completely?
Yes. Our grinders go below ground level to remove both the stump and major roots. You’ll be left with mulch or soil that’s ready for replanting or seeding.
Is stump grinding better than stump removal?
Grinding is often faster, less invasive, and more cost-effective than full stump removal. It’s our preferred method unless complete root excavation is needed.
What happens to the wood chips?
We can leave the mulch behind for your garden or remove it—your choice. Let us know what works best for your yard.
