Frequently Asked Questions
Stump Grinding
How long does stump grinding take?
Most residential stumps can be ground in 1–2 hours. Larger stumps or multiple stumps may take longer. We'll give you a time estimate when we provide the quote.
How deep does stump grinding go?
We typically grind 6–12 inches below grade, which is sufficient for replanting. Deeper grinding is available if needed for construction or specific landscaping projects.
Can I plant grass over a ground stump?
Yes. After grinding, the area can be backfilled with topsoil and seeded. Grass typically establishes well within one to two growing seasons as the remaining wood decomposes.
Will you clean up the wood chips after grinding?
Yes. Cleanup of grindings and debris is included. You can also keep the wood chips for mulch — just let us know your preference when scheduling.
