Our Stump Grinding Process

01

Site Assessment

We measure the stump, check for buried utilities nearby, and assess access for our grinding equipment.

02

Grinding

A stump grinder systematically reduces the stump 6–12 inches below grade, turning the wood into chips.

03

Cleanup

Grindings are either left to fill the hole (they'll settle as they decompose) or hauled away per your preference.

04

Leveling

The area is raked level and can be topped with topsoil and grass seed if you want to restore the lawn.

Stump Grinding FAQ for Atlanta Homeowners

How often should Atlanta homeowners get stump grinding?
Given Atlanta's heavy spring pollen season (one of worst in the u.s.), most homeowners benefit from stump grinding at least once a year. Spring pollen coating every exterior surface often makes spring or fall the optimal time to schedule service.
What home types in Atlanta most need stump grinding?
Brick exterior homes and Craftsman and bungalow-style homes are the most common home types in Atlanta and typically see the most wear. Our local pros are familiar with the exterior materials found across the metro.
How deep does stump grinding go?
Standard grinding goes 6–12 inches below grade, which is sufficient for most purposes. We can go deeper if you're planning to pave over the area.
Can I plant a tree where a stump was ground?
Not immediately. The remaining roots will decompose over 3–7 years. We recommend waiting or removing the old root mass before replanting.
Will stump grinding kill the tree's roots?
No — grinding removes the stump but leaves the root system in the ground. Roots will naturally decay over time. Sprouts may still emerge from the roots of some species.
How long does stump grinding take?
Most stumps take 15–60 minutes to grind depending on diameter and hardness. Multiple stumps can typically be done in a single half-day visit.
