We remove tree stumps with a Vermeer stump grinder. For smaller jobs, stump grinding tends to be the most efficient, least expensive and least intrusive method of professional stump removal.
There are two main methods for removing a tree stump: excavation and stump grinding, both of which come with their pros and cons. Choosing which route is best for your property mostly depends on the plans you have for your landscape.
With excavation, the entire tree stump and root ball are completely removed from the ground. A hole is left behind and, depending on the size of the tree the stump came from, it can be very large.
The upside of this method is that afterwards you’re left with a clean slate open to any new ideas you may have for your landscape. To have a tree stump removed in this way, the tree owner would have to contact an excavating company. Please reach out to us if you would like to inquire about our recommendations.

No, stump grinding does not remove the tree’s root system. While some surface-level roots will be ground out, a tree’s root system is too vast and deep to grind out entirely.
Our stump grinder can grind about six to ten inches below ground. This means there will still be below-ground tree parts, invisible to the eye, which will naturally decay over time.
Grass and small plants can be planted in the site roughly one to two months after grinding the stump, or sooner if the area is supplemented with new soil.
Planting medium to large plants or trees is generally not recommended for at least one year after grinding. But again, if the area is supplemented with new soil, planting can be carried out sooner.
Two pieces of important information to note if you plan on planting shortly after stump grinding:

Yes, you can build or pave over the area where a stump was ground out, but we recommend waiting some time.
The amount of time will vary depending on the size, species and location of the stump, as well as the type of building or paving project. As a very rough guide, the amount of time we recommend can be anywhere between one to eight years.
This is because stump grinding does not remove the parts of the tree that are beyond six to ten inches below ground, so there will still be organic material, somewhat close to the surface, decomposing over time.
If you hope to get started on construction right away, we recommend hiring an excavation company. You’ll want to make sure they remove all parts of the tree stump and its roots. Afterwards, you’ll want to fill the hole with native soil (not bagged potting soil) or with the appropriate subgrade material for load-bearing construction, and then compact the soil to the level required for construction.
