A leftover stump trips up the mower, attracts insects and sends up suckers. A grinder chews the stump down into wood chips, working from the outside in until it is below the soil line.
When we are done, you can rake in topsoil and seed, lay sod, or build a patio right over the spot.
When a stump should go
- It is in the way of a new patio, fence or flower bed
- Sprouts keep growing from the stump or roots
- You keep hitting it with the mower
- It has started to rot and attract ants
- You want to plant a new tree nearby
What we do
- Book a free utility locate through Ontario One Call before we dig
- Grind the stump and main surface roots below grade
- Rake the chips into the hole or haul them away, your choice
- Backfill with topsoil on request
- Leave the area level and clean
What it costs
Plan on $150 to $450 a stump, set by the width of the stump and whether the grinder can roll straight to it. A second or third stump ground the same day costs less apiece. What the quote says is what you pay.
Get my written priceRemoved ash trees left a lot of stumps
After emerald ash borer, many yards in south Mississauga were left with ash stumps that are now soft and crumbling. New builds on older lots often turn up stumps too. Our grinder squeezes through a regular side gate to reach stumps behind the house.
Questions about stump grinding and removal
How deep do you grind?
Around a hand-span, 15 to 20 cm under grade, and further down for a patio base or new sod. Tell us what the spot will be used for.
What happens to the wood chips?
We can leave them as mulch, fill the hole with them, or haul them away. Most people keep a few for flower beds.
Will the ground sink afterward?
A little, as the chips and roots break down. Filling with topsoil and packing it down keeps the dip small.
Can I plant a new tree in the same spot?
It is best to plant a short distance away, since roots and chips stay in the soil for a few years.
