Safer Yards Start With Fewer Hazards

Dead, leaning or hollow trees near a home, driveway or fence line don't get safer with time. Neither do stumps left behind after a storm or a previous contractor. We remove trees and grind stumps as part of our residential land services so your yard is truly usable, not just partially cleared.

Every removal is planned before the saw ever starts, with clear drop zones, protected structures and a plan for the debris. When we leave, the ground is level, the stump is gone and the mulch or chips are cleaned up or spread as you prefer.

Why Removing Stumps Matters More Than Homeowners Think

A stump isn't just ugly. It sprouts, it rots, it attracts termites and carpenter ants, and it's exactly where a mower blade finds it at full speed. Grinding the stump below grade removes the hazard and lets you finish the yard the way you want.

Paired with proper tree removal, stump grinding turns a partially cleared yard into finished, usable outdoor space that mows cleanly, drains well and looks intentional.

Our Process

A straightforward path from overgrown or unusable land to a finished job you can be proud of.

1
Assessment & Plan
We evaluate each tree or stump for lean, health, drop zone and access to structures, then confirm the plan with you.
2
Controlled Removal
Trees are dropped or sectioned down safely, with rigging when needed to protect the home, fences and landscaping.
3
Stump Grinding
Stumps are ground below grade so you can seed, sod, mulch or plant right over the spot.
4
Cleanup
Limbs, chips and grindings are removed or spread on site as mulch, and the work area is raked clean.

About how many of your stumps are hardwood?0% hardwood

Oak, hickory, maple and sweetgum are hardwood. Pine and cedar are softwood. Hardwood grinds slower, so it prices higher.

2. Grind depth and distance

Deep grind below surface

Recommended anywhere you plan to seed, sod or replant. Turn off for mulch beds and rough ground.

Stump Grinding Prices by Size

Price per stump, measured at the widest point of the root flare. Deep grind means we take the stump well below surface instead of stopping just under grade.

Getting the crew and machine there

Base charge: $100
Travel to your property: $2 per mile
Job minimum: $225

Mileage is rounded up to the nearest 10 miles. Small jobs land at the $225 minimum, which is why grouping stumps into one visit is almost always cheaper than calling us back twice.

Chips, backfill and extras

Spread chips around the area: Included
Relocate chips to a pile on the property: from $25
Haul chips off site: from $225
Bring in dirt to fill holes and grade: from $225

Chip and backfill add-ons scale with the volume the grinding produces, so the estimator prices them against your actual stump list. Dirt fill requires the chips to be moved or hauled first.

Included on every job

Standard cleanup: chips and debris spread around the grinding area
Utility locate request before any machine work begins
On-site verification of stump sizes before we start

Quoted separately

Extensive root systems spreading more than twice the stump diameter
Hand work beyond standard cleanup, billed at $115 per hour

Prices are estimates based on the information provided. We verify stump sizes on site and ask for photos before scheduling. If the details change, the price may change, and the mobilization charge (base plus mileage) is non-refundable once the crew is dispatched.

Frequently Asked Questions

Do you remove trees close to my house?

Yes. Trees near homes, driveways, fences and outbuildings are removed with a plan for each cut and rigging when needed to protect the structure below.

How deep do you grind stumps?

Standard stump grinding is 4 to 6 inches below grade, which is enough to reseed, sod or landscape over. We can grind deeper on request for planting or hardscape.

What happens to the wood chips?

You can keep them on site as free mulch, have them spread over garden beds, or have them hauled off. Whatever fits your yard, we'll accommodate.

Can you handle a whole yard full of stumps at once?

Absolutely. Multi-stump jobs are one of the most cost-effective ways to reset a yard because we're already mobilized with the right equipment.

Is stump grinding better than chemical removal?

For homeowners, yes. Grinding is done in minutes, doesn't require months of waiting, and leaves the yard ready to plant or reseed the same week.

Do you work in Greensboro, Winston-Salem and High Point?

Yes. We serve the entire NC Piedmont Triad, including surrounding towns like Kernersville, Oak Ridge, Summerfield, Colfax, Jamestown, Burlington, Lexington and Asheboro.
