Stump Grinding
Stump grinding in New Brighton and the Twin Cities metro, from tight backyard stumps to the biggest grinders around.
A leftover stump is more than an eyesore. It is a trip hazard, a home for bugs and rot, and a pain to mow, replant, or landscape around. Grinding it below the surface lets you take the space back for good.
We grind stumps of every size. Our machines range from compact units that fit through a backyard gate to a 100-inch grinder for the biggest jobs. We grind below the surface, leave you the grindings or haul them away, and get the spot ready for new grass or landscaping.

Stump Grinding FAQ
How deep do you grind the stump?
Usually several inches below the surface, which is enough to replant grass or landscaping. If you plan to build something over the spot, tell us and we will grind deeper.
What happens to the wood chips?
Grinding makes mulch-like chips. You can keep them to fill the hole or use as mulch, or we can haul them away and leave a clean spot for an added charge.
Can you grind a stump in a tight backyard?
Usually, yes. We have compact grinders that fit through a standard gate. We will confirm access during the free estimate.
