Stump Grinding - Your garden free of obstacles, roots, and unwanted remnants

At JKG Landscaping Services, we offer efficient, safe, and aesthetically flawless stump grinding services. After removing a tree, the remaining stump can be a visual nuisance, a functional obstacle, or even a hazard. Our service completely eliminates this problem, leaving you with clean, level ground ready for what comes next.

What is stump grinding?

Stump grinding is a mechanical process that breaks down the remaining tree stump, along with part of its surface roots, into wood chips.

Our Professional Stump Grinding Process

1 - Stump Evaluation

  • We perform an inspection to determine the stump’s size, wood hardness, and root depth.
  • We assess the area’s accessibility, taking into account fences, slopes, or nearby structures.

2 - Work Area Preparation

  • The zone is cordoned off to ensure the safety of people, pets, and property.
  • Any debris, stones, or material that may interfere with the machinery is cleared away.

3 - Stump Grinding

  • We use specialized equipment with rotating disks and carbide teeth to grind the stump layer by layer.
  • The operator controls the grinding depth, usually reaching between 6 and 12 inches below ground level, depending on the client’s needs.

4 - Handling of Mulch Material

  • The resulting wood chips can be completely removed or, if the client prefers, left on-site to be used as mulch.
  • We can also fill the hole with soil to level the ground.

5 - Final Cleanup

  • We leave the area ready for future planting, construction, lawn installation, or simply to appear clean and clear.

Benefits of Stump Grinding
