Stump Removal
Stump Grinding for Belgium Lawns and Gardens
Old stumps trip people, chip mower blades, and sprout suckers. Grinding takes care of all three.
Our stump grinder chews the stump into chips well below the grass line, then follows the big surface roots so they don't heave the lawn later. The crew lays plywood on soft ground to keep ruts out of your yard. Not sure whether grinding or full removal fits your plans? Read our post on stump grinding vs. removal first.
After grinding, you pick the finish. We can haul the chips away, rake them back into the hole, or backfill with topsoil ready for seed. If a stump sits where a garage or patio is going, we pull the whole root ball with a loader, just like on our land clearing jobs. Booking tree removal too? We'll put both on one quote.

Stump Headaches
Why That Old Stump Needs to Go
A stump seems harmless until it starts causing one of these problems.
-
Mower Damage and Trip Hazards
Low stumps hide in tall grass and catch mower blades, ankles, and snowblower augers.
-
Suckers Sprouting From the Roots
Maples, poplars, and willows keep pushing new shoots from the stump for years after removal.
-
Rot That Draws In Pests
Decaying stumps attract carpenter ants and fungus that can spread to other wood nearby.
-
Roots Heaving the Lawn
Big surface roots lift sod and pavers as freeze and thaw work on them every winter.
-
A Stump Right Where You Want Plans
It blocks the garden bed, patio, fence line, or new tree you've been picturing in that spot.
Grinding Day
How Stump Grinding Works Start to Finish
Most stumps take one short visit, and the lawn around them stays in good shape.
-
Flag Buried Lines First
Buried utilities get marked through Diggers Hotline before the grinder touches the ground.
-
Grind Below the Grass
The cutting wheel sweeps back and forth until the stump is gone below grade.
-
Chase the Surface Roots
Large roots running out from the stump get ground so they won't heave the lawn.
-
Clean Up or Backfill
Chips hauled or raked in, or topsoil added so the spot is ready to seed.
Local Stump Know-How
Stump Grinding Challenges in Ozaukee and Sheboygan Counties
Our soil, our trees, and our winters all affect how a stump should be handled.
Leftover Ash Stumps
Years of emerald ash borer removals left many yards here with several ash stumps to clear.
Grinding on Frozen Ground
Winter grinding works well on firm, frozen lawns, since the machine leaves almost no ruts.
Heavy Clay Soil
Wet clay grips roots tight, so we plan access paths and protect soft lawns with plywood.
Silver Maple Suckers
Silver maples and poplars resprout hard, so we grind deeper and chase roots farther out.
Stumps Along Fence Lines
Fence-line stumps get ground close to the posts without damaging the fence you're keeping.
Free Wood Chip Mulch
Extra chips can go right into your garden beds, and we share free chips through ChipDrop.

Stump Questions
Stump Grinding Questions From Area Homeowners
Deep enough to lay sod or seed grass over the spot, usually several inches below the soil line. If you plan to plant a new tree, set a fence post, or build a patio right there, tell us. We'll grind deeper or pull the whole root ball instead.
