We grind stumps below grade, chase major roots that cause bumps in turf or hardscape, and leave the area tidy so you can move on to fresh landscaping or new projects.

Why Remove That Stump

Leaving a stump can seem harmless at first. Over time it creates work, risk, and hidden costs. Removing it now protects your yard and keeps projects simple later.

Stop regrowth that sends shoots through mulch and beds
Reduce pest interest, including ants, beetles, and termites
Make mowing safe and fast without tight turns around roots
Level the ground for sod, planters, gravel, or hardscape
Prevent root bumps from cracking edging and lifting pavers
Improve curb appeal for rentals and home sales

Our grinders reach tight side yards, gates, and typical residential access points. If space is limited, we use compact machines and protective mats to keep the site clean.

Our Stump Removal Process

You get a clear plan, careful protection for nearby features, and a smooth finish. Titles below are simple and human friendly, with no numbers, and each step is explained in plain language.

Site Walkthrough

We confirm access, mark utilities that you have identified or called in, and check for sprinklers, lighting, and landscape features we need to protect.

Protection and Setup

We lay down mats where needed, place shields to catch chips, and stage the grinder so debris stays in a safe, controlled area.

Clean Grinding

We sweep the grinder across the stump, usually 6 to 10 inches below grade, deeper if you plan to plant or install pavers in that spot.

Root Chasing

We follow major surface roots that cause bumps in lawn or hardscape. You choose how far we chase based on your plan and budget.

Backfilling Options

Choose chip haul-away, chip backfill, or soil backfill for sod-ready leveling. We can mix in topsoil to improve settling when requested.

Cleanup and Review

We rake and sweep the area, then walk it with you to confirm depth, root chasing, and cleanup meet your expectations.

Grinding or Full Removal

Stump grinding

Grinding is the most common choice. It is fast, cost effective, and leaves a neat hole that we can backfill with chips or soil. It solves tripping, mowing, and appearance problems and is ideal when you plan grass, mulch, or planters.

Full stump extraction

Pulling a stump out with machinery is sometimes possible, but it needs broader access and can disturb soil more than grinding. We consider full extraction only when the site is wide open or when future construction needs a completely root free zone.

Root chasing only

If the main issue is surface roots lifting turf or edging, we can chase and reduce those roots to smooth the grade. Many homeowners pair root chasing with a standard grind for the cleanest result.

Nearby features like fences, patios, rock, lighting, and irrigation lines
Root chasing distance if you want a perfectly smooth lawn or base for pavers
Backfill choice, chip haul-away, or soil delivery for sod-ready leveling

Aftercare and Restoration

Once the stump is gone, a little follow through keeps the area stable and good looking. Choose the finish you want and we will prepare the ground to match.

For new sod, request soil backfill and compaction to reduce settling
For mulch beds, keep chips or add a top layer of fresh mulch for color
For pavers or gravel, ask for deeper grinding and careful raking to level the base
Water the area lightly for a few days to settle dust and fines if soil was added
If you plan to plant a new tree, choose a slightly offset location so roots have clean soil

We can also return for touch ups if the area settles over time. A quick soil top off keeps everything even with surrounding grade.

Stump Removal Redlands, CA — FAQs

How deep do you grind the stump

Standard depth is about 6 to 10 inches below grade. If you plan pavers or a new planting, ask for deeper grinding and we will set the target based on your plan.

Can you remove surface roots that lift grass or edging

Yes. We can chase major surface roots to smooth the area. You choose how far we go based on your goals and budget.

What happens to the chips

You can keep chips for mulch, we can use chips to backfill, or we can haul them away. If you want sod immediately, soil backfill with light compaction is a good choice.

Can you work near fences, patios, or rock

We set shields, use mats, and control the grinder to protect nearby features. Tight spaces are common and we handle them every week.

Will the stump grow back

Once the stump is ground below grade and primary roots are reduced, regrowth is unlikely. Some species can sprout from shallow roots. If that happens, we can return for a quick touch up or provide tips to stop new shoots.
