Stump Grinding Services
Three ways we help clear the way — when homeowners want a stump removed, when tree companies finish a job, and when a storm leaves an uprooted stump behind.
Residential Stump Grinding
Digging out a stump by hand is slow, exhausting, and hard on the surrounding lawn. Grinding is the faster, more affordable alternative: our operators bring professional-grade grinders to your property, reduce the visible stump to wood chips, and take the remainder down 3 to 5 inches below grade — deeper on request if you're planning to build or pave over the spot.
We're set up to handle single stumps or a whole yard full of them in one visit, and we take care to protect your lawn, beds, and walkways while we work.
- Free, no-obligation on-site estimate
- Ground 3–5 inches below grade, deeper by request
- Lawn, beds & walkways protected during the job
- Wood chips left in a neat, tidy pile
- No job too small — or too big
Commercial Stump Grinding for Tree Companies
Stump grinding calls for a different machine and a different skill set than tree removal, and many tree service companies don't have the standalone volume to justify owning and maintaining a dedicated grinder. That's where we come in: Paul's Stump Cutting works alongside tree companies as their stump grinding subcontractor, so your crews can stay focused on the removal work they're built for.
We show up, finish the stump, and get out of the way — no equipment purchase, no added insurance headache, and no pulling a climbing crew off a job to run a grinder. You keep the customer relationship and quote the stump work as part of the job; we handle the grinding.
- Available as a subcontractor for licensed tree companies
- Flexible scheduling that works around your crew's calendar
- Fully licensed & insured for on-site liability
- Consistent, reliable turnaround so jobs stay on schedule
- Your choice of an occasional job, overflow when your crew is stretched thin, or all your stump work
Grinding Uprooted Stumps from Storm-Damaged Trees
Not every stump is the same job. A standing stump sits flush with the ground and grinds down in a controlled, straightforward pass. An uprooted stump — torn loose when a tree blows over in a storm — is a different situation entirely: the root ball often comes up at an angle or lands sideways, and it may need to be repositioned before grinding can even begin.
An unsecured root ball can shift during the work, so these jobs call for a careful on-site assessment, extra safety precautions, and sometimes different equipment. Because of that added complexity, we treat every uprooted stump as its own job and plan the approach accordingly. If a storm has recently uprooted a tree on your property, treat the remaining stump as unstable and leave the assessment to us.
- Careful on-site assessment before any work begins
- Repositioning of exposed root balls when needed
- Extra precautions for unstable, unsecured root systems
- Full grinding of the exposed root ball, not just the surface stump
