Stump Grinding & Removal

Why You Should Not Leave Stumps Behind

After you cut down a tree, the stump does not just disappear. It sits there taking up space, creating hazards, and causing problems you might not expect. Stumps attract termites, carpenter ants, and other pests that can eventually move to your home or other structures. They also send up new shoots that waste your time and money as you constantly try to control them.

Old stumps make yard maintenance harder. You have to mow around them, and they get in the way of landscaping projects. They are also tripping hazards, especially for children playing in the yard. If you are planning to improve your Clovis property, removing stumps is one of the best investments you can make.

Stumps also take years to decompose naturally. During that time, they can harbor diseases that spread to nearby healthy trees. Why wait when professional removal takes just a few hours?

How Stump Grinding Works

We use professional-grade stump grinders that make quick work of even the toughest stumps. Our equipment grinds the stump down below ground level, typically 6 to 12 inches deep. This is deep enough to prevent regrowth and allow you to plant grass, flowers, or even a new tree in the same spot.

Here is what you can expect when you hire us:

• Site assessment: We inspect the stump and surrounding area to plan the safest, most efficient approach.
• Grinding: We use our heavy-duty grinder to chip away the stump and major roots until they are well below ground level.
• Debris removal: We haul away the wood chips or leave them for you to use as mulch, whichever you prefer.
• Site cleanup: We rake and level the area, leaving your yard looking neat and ready for its next chapter.

The entire process is surprisingly clean and efficient. Most stumps take less than an hour to grind, and we protect your surrounding landscape throughout the job.

Grinding vs. Full Stump Removal

Many homeowners wonder whether they should grind the stump or dig it out completely. For most situations, grinding is the better choice. It is faster, less expensive, and causes minimal disruption to your yard. Grinding also avoids the large hole that comes with full removal.

Full removal means digging out the entire stump and root ball. This makes sense if you are planning major construction or need to install something like a pool in that exact spot. But for typical landscaping, planting, or lawn restoration, grinding is the way to go.

We offer both options and can help you decide which is right for your project. After handling tree removal services in Clovis for years, we know what works best in different situations.

Have Multiple Stumps?

If you have several stumps on your property, we can handle them all in one visit. We offer package pricing that saves you money when you tackle multiple stumps at once. This is especially common if you have recently had several trees removed or if you are clearing land for a new project.

Our team works efficiently to minimize the time we spend on your property while still delivering thorough, professional results. We also coordinate with other services like land and lot clearing if you need comprehensive property preparation.
