Tree removal is a common part of landscaping and property care, but it often leaves behind one tough reminder — the stump. Left untreated, stumps can become a hazard, an eyesore, or even a home for pests. That’s where Advanced Landscape Solutions comes in.
Our team provides professional stump grinding services to remove unsightly tree stumps quickly, safely, and without damaging your yard. Whether you're planning a new garden, want more usable lawn space, or simply wish to improve your landscape’s appearance, our service is the clean, eco-friendly way to get it done.
Why Stump Grinding Matters
Many people assume that once a tree is cut down, the job is done. But the leftover stump can cause several issues if not dealt with properly. It can rot over time, attract termites or ants, and make mowing your lawn more difficult. Even worse, it can be a tripping hazard for kids and pets.
Stump grinding is the most effective way to remove a stump below the ground level. It doesn’t involve digging or pulling up the roots, which makes it faster and less disruptive to the surrounding area. It’s the smart choice for homeowners who care about safety and curb appeal.
What Is Stump Grinding?
Stump grinding is a process where a specialized machine grinds down the tree stump into wood chips, reducing it to below ground level. Unlike stump removal, which involves pulling out the roots, stump grinding is quicker and causes less damage to your lawn.
The wood chips left behind can be used as mulch for your garden or disposed of easily. Once the grinding is complete, the area can be covered with soil and replanted or landscaped to match the rest of your yard.
Our Stump Grinding Process
At Advanced Landscape Solutions, we follow a step-by-step approach to make sure the job is done right the first time. Here’s what you can expect when you hire us:
1. Site Evaluation
We begin with a detailed inspection of the stump and surrounding area. This helps us determine the size and depth of grinding required and spot any nearby structures, pipes, or cables that need protection.
2. Safety Preparation
Before we begin the actual grinding, we clear the area of any debris or obstacles. We also place protective barriers if necessary to shield nearby plants, fences, or structures.
3. Grinding the Stump
Our team uses high-powered stump grinders that cut the wood down into small chips. We grind several inches below the soil to make sure the stump is no longer visible and cannot grow back.
4. Cleanup and Disposal
After grinding, we clean up the area by collecting the wood chips and filling the hole with soil or mulch as needed. You have the option to keep the wood chips for landscaping or have us haul them away.
5. Final Inspection
We don’t leave until you’re satisfied. We walk you through the completed work and offer tips on how to care for the treated area. Our goal is to leave your yard looking better than before.

FAQs About Stump Grinding
How long does stump grinding take?
The process usually takes 30 minutes to 2 hours depending on the size and number of stumps. We aim to finish quickly without cutting corners.
Will the stump grow back after grinding?
No. Stump grinding removes the central part of the stump and top roots, so regrowth is highly unlikely.
Is stump grinding messy?
There will be wood chips, but we handle all cleanup as part of the service. You can choose to keep the mulch or have us dispose of it.
Can you grind stumps near fences or sidewalks?
Yes. Our equipment is designed to work in tight spaces. We take extra care around structures and utilities.
Is stump grinding safe for pets and children?
Absolutely. Once the area is cleaned and filled, it’s safe for normal use. We recommend keeping pets and kids away during the grinding process.
