Stump Grinding in the Niagara Region, ON

Grind the Stump, Get the Yard Back

A stump is the part of a tree removal people tend to put off, and then live with for years. It catches the mower, sprouts suckers, rots slowly and gives carpenter ants a home. Stump grinding gets rid of it in an hour or two. A grinder chews the stump down below the soil into a pile of wood chips, and the spot can be filled, seeded or planted. We grind fresh stumps right after a removal and old ones that have been sitting in the lawn for a decade, anywhere in the Niagara Region. Call (289) 672-1630 for a quote.

You'll know before we start how deep we'll grind, what happens to the chips and what the spot will look like when we leave.

Grinding or Full Stump Removal?

Grinding removes the stump and the top of the root system, leaving the deeper roots to rot away naturally. It's quick, tidy and the right choice for nearly every yard.

Full removal means digging out the whole root ball, usually with an excavator. It leaves a large hole and a lot of disturbed ground, so it's only worth it when you're building a foundation, pouring a patio or putting a pool exactly where the tree stood.

What about the roots? Once the stump is ground, the remaining roots can't grow. A few species, like poplar, Manitoba maple, sumac and tree-of-heaven, may send up suckers from the old roots for a season or two. Mowing or cutting them off usually ends it.

Before we grind. We call for utility locates through Ontario One Call, because gas lines, cables and irrigation pipes often run closer to a stump than you'd expect.
