Stump Grinding in Mills, 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.

Once a tree is gone from your Mills yard, the stump is what keeps getting in the way. It snags the mower, hides in the grass and gives you nothing to build or plant on. We grind stumps below ground level and take out the large surface roots that block the spot, so you can lay sod, add a patio, or plant a replacement.

Many stumps near the North Platte River and the west edge of Casper come from trees that wind or heavy wet snow brought down, and those stumps are often old, dry and hard. An arborist looks at the stump, the roots and anything nearby, such as walks, fences and buried lines, before we agree on how deep to go.

The grinding leaves wood chips, and we either clean them up or leave them for mulch in beds away from the house, whichever you prefer. Grinding does not pull out the deep roots, which break down in the ground over time. We can quote it together with a removal so one estimate covers both. Free quotes are available at (307) 337-8474 for Mills homes and businesses.

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.

Stump Grinding in Mills, WY: 5 Common Questions

We grind below the soil line so the area can be filled and reused. The exact depth depends on what you plan to put there, and we agree on it before work starts.

Yes, but plan the spot with an arborist. Chips and old roots affect the soil, and a new tree may do better a short distance away or in fresh soil.

Some species send up shoots from roots that stay in the ground. Ask the arborist about the species you have so you know what to watch for.

Yes. After a windstorm or heavy snow takes a tree, many yards are left with a stump and surface roots. We size up the job first and agree on the grinding depth before we start.

We can haul them away or leave them for use as mulch in beds away from the house. Tell the arborist your preference at the quote visit.
