Why Remove a Tree Stump?

An old tree stump can become more than just an inconvenience.

Stumps can:

• Interfere with lawn mowing
• Make landscaping difficult
• Create a tripping hazard
• Take up valuable yard space
• Attract insects and other pests
• Begin to decay and become unsightly
• Interfere with construction or landscaping projects
• Make it difficult to replant the area

If you've recently had a tree removed or have an old stump that's been sitting in your yard for years, stump grinding may be an effective solution.

Professional Stump Grinding

Stump grinding uses specialized equipment to grind the remaining stump below the surrounding ground level.

Rather than leaving a large stump in the middle of your yard, grinding allows the area to be reclaimed for landscaping, grass, or other uses.

The depth required can vary depending on the location and your plans for the area.

Stump Grinding After Tree Removal

If you're having a tree removed, you may want to consider having the stump ground at the same time.

Removing the tree and addressing the stump together can help you avoid dealing with the remaining obstacle later.

Grand Chute Tree Service can discuss your stump-grinding options when providing your tree-removal estimate.

Old & Existing Stumps

You don't have to have recently removed a tree to benefit from stump grinding.

We can also help with existing stumps that have been left behind by previous tree-removal work.

An old stump may have been in your yard for years, gradually deteriorating and becoming more difficult to mow around.

If you have an unwanted stump taking up space on your property, contact us to discuss your options.

Preparing Your Property for Landscaping

Removing unwanted stumps can make it easier to reclaim an area of your property.

Once the stump has been ground, the area can potentially be used for:

• Grass
• Landscaping
• Flower beds
• Shrubs
• Garden areas
• Walkways
• Other property improvements

If you're planning a landscaping or construction project, let us know so we can discuss the appropriate approach for the stump.

What Happens to the Stump After Grinding?

Stump grinding produces wood chips and ground stump material.

Depending on the project and your plans for the area, the material can be used or removed as appropriate.

If you plan to plant grass, landscaping, or another feature in the area, let us know so we can discuss how the area should be prepared.

FAQs 

Q: How deep do you grind stumps?

A: Standard grinding depth is 4–6 inches below grade; we can grind deeper for replanting or construction needs.

Q: Can I plant a new tree where the stump was ground?

A: Yes — with stump removal and not stump grinding, for most species we recommend bringing in topsoil and waiting a short settling period; we can prepare the site and reseed or install sod.

Q: Do you remove roots?

A: We primarily grind stumps and visible roots. Full root excavation is available for construction-grade projects but is more labor-intensive.

Q: How soon can I landscape after stump grinding?

A: You can generally landscape soon after grinding; if heavy root removal was needed, allow time for soil settling and add topsoil as recommended.

Q: Do you haul away the wood chips?

A: We can haul chips away, leave them for mulch, or chip them on-site for reuse—your choice.
