Municipal Stump Grinding

What This Service Involves

After removals or storm damage, remaining stumps create liability along walks, in parks, and within maintained turf areas. Our crews grind stumps and surface roots below grade, matching the depth your site requires for replanting, sod, or hardscape restoration. Grindings are removed or backfilled and tamped per your specification, and utility locates are completed before any grinding begins near marked lines. Each ground stump is documented so your GIS and asset records stay current.

Benefits

Below-grade grinding removes trip and mowing hazards from public spaces; utility locates before every job protect buried infrastructure; backfill and grade restoration ready the site for replanting or turf; batch scheduling reduces mobilization cost across multiple stumps; location records keep asset inventories accurate

Our Process

1) Provide a stump list or map and we schedule utility locates for each location; 2) We confirm grind depth, backfill, and restoration expectations; 3) Crews grind stumps and roots, then remove or compact grindings as specified; 4) We restore grade, document each site, and update your work order

What Affects the Cost

Stump diameter and root spread; required grind depth for replanting or paving; number and clustering of stumps per mobilization; grindings removal versus on-site backfill; locate coordination and prevailing-wage labor

Best Time of Year
