Stump Grinding in Grand Island, NY

When you need stump grinding

• A stump left after a tree removal that you want gone
• A stump in the lawn that is hitting the mower or tripping the kids
• Stump sprouts and surface roots that keep coming back
• A stump in the way of a patio, fence, shed or driveway
• Carpenter ants, termites or fungus living in old wood

We use a compact stump grinder that fits through a standard gate and works around fences, patios and landscape beds. The grinder takes the stump and the major surface roots down well below the lawn line, then we rake the chips back into the hole.

You choose what happens to the wood chips: we can leave them for mulch or garden beds, haul them away, or backfill with topsoil so you can seed right away. If a stump is going to be replaced by another tree, tell us. We will grind deeper so the new root ball has room.
