Stump Grinding & Removal
Complete stump removal services to reclaim your yard and eliminate safety hazards.
Why Remove Tree Stumps?
After tree removal, the remaining stump can be more than just an eyesore. At Rootstead Lawrence Tree Service, we provide professional stump grinding and removal services to completely eliminate stumps from your property, restoring usable space and preventing future problems.
Tree stumps attract pests like termites, carpenter ants, and wood-boring beetles that can spread to healthy trees or even your home. They also sprout new growth that drains nutrients from surrounding plants, create tripping hazards for children and visitors, and make lawn maintenance difficult. Our efficient stump grinding service solves all these problems in a single visit.
Our Stump Grinding Process
We use commercial-grade stump grinders that can handle stumps of any size, from small ornamental trees to massive oaks. Our equipment grinds stumps 6 to 12 inches below ground level, which is deep enough to allow grass growth or new plantings. The grinding process converts the stump into mulch chips that can be used in your landscape or removed entirely based on your preference.
Before grinding, we assess the area for underground utilities, irrigation systems, and other obstacles. Our experienced operators work carefully to protect your lawn and surrounding landscape. We can access stumps in tight spaces, including backyards with limited access, using our range of equipment sizes. After grinding, we fill the hole with soil and level the area, leaving your yard ready for immediate use.

Stump Grinding vs. Stump Removal
Many property owners wonder about the difference between stump grinding and complete stump removal. Grinding is the most common and cost-effective method, using specialized equipment to chip away the stump below ground level. This process is quick, minimally invasive, and leaves the root system to decompose naturally underground.
Complete stump removal involves excavating the entire stump and root ball, which is necessary only in specific situations like construction projects or when replanting in the exact same location. For most residential properties in Lawrence, stump grinding provides excellent results without the extensive excavation and higher costs of full removal. We can help you determine the best approach for your situation and also provide land clearing services for larger projects.
