About This Service
Stump Grinding in Simcoe County
After a tree is removed, the stump that remains is more than just an eyesore—it's a tripping hazard, a lawn mower obstacle, a home for wood-boring pests, and a source of fungal disease that can spread to nearby healthy trees. Professional stump grinding is the safest, most effective method to eliminate stumps completely and restore full use of your yard.
Our stump grinders are capable of grinding stumps of any diameter down 8–12 inches below the soil surface—deep enough to allow for lawn restoration, paving, or replanting directly over the site. The grinding process produces a pile of wood chips and sawdust that can be used as mulch, mixed back into the hole, or hauled away depending on your preference.
We grind all surface roots visible within the drip line as part of our standard service, not just the main stump. This ensures your lawn mower won't catch on exposed roots years later. For full root removal—necessary for some construction or paving projects—we also offer root excavation and grubbing services as an add-on.
Stump grinding is typically completed within an hour for standard-sized stumps, with minimal disturbance to surrounding turf. After grinding, we can back-fill the cavity with the generated wood chips or topsoil, rake the area smooth, and optionally overseed with grass seed to speed lawn recovery. We leave your yard ready to use.

How deep do you grind the stump?
We grind 8–12 inches below the soil surface — deep enough for lawn restoration, overseeding, or paving directly over the site. Surface roots within the drip line are included in the standard service at no extra charge.
Can I plant a new tree where the stump was?
Yes, once the stump is ground and wood chips decompose. We recommend filling the cavity with topsoil, waiting one growing season, then replanting. If you want to plant sooner, we can haul away grinding debris and fill with topsoil immediately.
Does stump grinding work for all stump sizes?
Yes — our commercial-grade grinders handle stumps of any diameter. We also carry compact machines for tight spaces like fenced backyards or narrow side yards where larger equipment can't fit.
