How deep do you grind stumps?

We typically grind stumps 6 to 12 inches below ground level. This is deep enough to allow you to plant grass, flowers, or even new trees in that spot. If you need deeper grinding for a specific project like installing a patio or pool, we can go deeper for an additional fee.

What happens to the wood chips?

You have a few options with the wood chips left behind from grinding. We can haul them away completely, spread them as mulch in your garden beds, or leave them for you to use however you like. Most homeowners choose to have us remove them so they can plant grass right away.

Can you grind stumps near fences or buildings?

Yes, our equipment is designed to work in tight spaces. We can safely grind stumps near fences, walls, and buildings without causing damage. We take extra care to protect your property and surrounding landscaping during the grinding process.

Fast and efficient stump grinding and removal services to reclaim your yard space in Burbank.

Why You Should Remove That Old Stump

After a tree is cut down, the stump that is left behind might not seem like a big deal. But stumps can cause more problems than you think. They take up valuable yard space, attract pests like termites and beetles, and can be a tripping hazard for your family. Over time, stumps can also sprout new growth, which means the tree tries to come back even after you removed it.

In Burbank, where yard space is precious, getting rid of old stumps opens up room for landscaping, patios, or just a cleaner look. Our professional tree service team has the equipment and experience to grind or remove stumps of any size quickly and safely.

How Stump Grinding Works

Stump grinding is the most efficient way to get rid of a stump without digging up your whole yard. We use a powerful stump grinder that chips away the stump below ground level, turning it into mulch. Here is what you can expect when you hire us:

Site assessment: We check the stump size, location, and any obstacles nearby
Grinding: Our machine grinds the stump 6 to 12 inches below the soil surface
Root removal: We can grind major roots that stick out or cause problems
Cleanup: We remove the wood chips or leave them as mulch, depending on what you prefer
Fill and level: We fill the hole with soil and level it so your yard looks great

The whole process is quick, usually taking just a few hours depending on the stump size. You do not have to worry about heavy equipment tearing up your lawn. Our grinders are designed to access tight spaces without causing damage to your property.

Stump Removal vs Stump Grinding

Some people wonder if they should remove the entire stump and roots or just grind it down. Stump grinding is faster, less invasive, and more affordable. It gets rid of the visible stump and makes it easy to plant grass or flowers over the area. Full stump removal involves digging out the whole root system, which is only needed in special cases like when you are building something heavy in that spot.

For most homeowners in Burbank, grinding is the best option. If you are not sure what your project needs, we can give you advice based on your plans. Whether you are preparing for land clearing or just want a clean yard, we have you covered.

Benefits of Professional Stump Grinding

Trying to remove a stump yourself is hard work and can be dangerous. Rental equipment is expensive, difficult to operate, and can damage your property if you do not know what you are doing. When you hire us, you get the job done right the first time with no risk to you or your yard.

We handle stumps of all sizes, from small ornamental trees to massive old-growth stumps. Our team is licensed, insured, and trained to work safely around your home. After we finish, you will have a clean, level yard ready for whatever you have planned next. If you also need tree removal services, we can take care of everything in one visit.
