STUMP GRINDING
Complete stump removal to reclaim your yard space and eliminate unsightly tree stumps
Professional Stump Grinding Services
After a tree is removed, the stump often remains as an unsightly reminder and potential hazard. At Logan's Tree Service, we provide professional stump grinding services to completely remove these remnants, allowing you to reclaim your yard space for landscaping, construction, or simply a clean, stump-free lawn.
Our specialized stump grinding equipment can efficiently remove stumps of any size, grinding them down below ground level. This process eliminates the entire stump while minimizing disruption to the surrounding landscape, leaving you with usable space and no visible trace of the former tree.
Whether you need a single stump removed or have multiple stumps across your property, our experienced team can handle the job quickly and professionally, saving you the time and effort of attempting this challenging task yourself.
Benefits of Professional Stump Grinding
Reclaim Usable Space
Removing stumps allows you to use the area for new landscaping, construction, or lawn expansion.
Eliminate Hazards
Stumps can be tripping hazards, especially when hidden by grass or snow, posing risks to family members and visitors.
Prevent Pest Infestations
Decaying stumps attract insects like termites and ants, which can eventually spread to your home or other healthy trees.
Improve Property Appearance
Stumps are eyesores that detract from your property's overall aesthetic and can potentially lower property value.
Prevent New Growth
Some tree species will continue to sprout from the stump. Grinding eliminates this possibility, preventing unwanted sucker growth.
Easier Lawn Maintenance
Removing stumps makes mowing and lawn care simpler, without the need to navigate around obstacles.

Debris Management
We can either remove the wood chips or spread them in the hole and surrounding area as mulch, depending on your preference.

Site Restoration
We fill the remaining hole with a mixture of wood chips and soil, leaving the area ready for new planting or sodding.
Frequently Asked Questions
How deep do you grind stumps?
We typically grind stumps 6-12 inches below ground level, which is sufficient to allow for new grass, plants, or construction. If you have specific needs for deeper grinding, we can accommodate those requirements.
How long does stump grinding take?
Most residential stumps can be ground in 1-2 hours, depending on size. Larger stumps or those with extensive root systems may take longer. Multiple stumps can often be completed in a single day.
Will stump grinding damage my lawn?
Our equipment is designed to minimize impact on surrounding areas. While there may be some disturbance immediately around the stump, we take care to protect your lawn and landscape as much as possible and clean up thoroughly afterward.
Can I plant a new tree where a stump was ground?
Yes, but we recommend waiting until the remaining wood chips and roots have decomposed, typically 1-2 years. For immediate planting, you may want to remove more of the grindings and add fresh soil to give your new tree the best start.
What's the difference between stump grinding and stump removal?
Stump grinding pulverizes the stump to below ground level while leaving the root system in place to decompose naturally. Complete stump removal involves excavating the entire stump and root ball, which is more invasive and typically more expensive.
How much does stump grinding cost?
The cost depends on the stump's size, hardness of the wood, location, and accessibility. We provide free estimates after assessing your specific situation to give you an accurate price.
