Stump Grinding in Gillette, WY

We grind stumps below ground level so you can mow, landscape or plant again. Stump grinding can be quoted together with a tree removal.

A hailstorm or a wind event can leave a Gillette lawn with a fresh stump and a mess to deal with. Left alone, a stump can send up shoots, attract insects and trip people mowing around it. Our crew grinds stumps below ground level, and large surface roots too if they are in the way, so the spot can be seeded, planted or built on.

Before we start, an arborist checks for walks, fences and buried lines. We tidy up the chips or haul them away. Tell us about your stump through our online quote form, or ring (307) 337-8474 and describe where it sits.

Choosing Stump Grinding

Grinding a Stump Versus Leaving It

A leftover stump can sprout new shoots, attract insects, rot slowly and become a trip hazard or a mowing problem.

Grinding takes out the stump and surface roots. The deeper roots stay in the ground and break down over time.

If you plan to plant a new tree, build a patio or lay sod in the spot, grinding right after the removal makes the job simpler.
