After a tree has been removed, the work isn’t always finished. Stumps left behind can pose tripping hazards, invite decay and insect activity, and get in the way of future planting or landscape design. Stump grinding is the most efficient and non-invasive method to eliminate what’s left below ground. At Yeomen Tree Service Co-operative, we offer professional stump grinding services that restore both safety and aesthetics to your space.

​

The best time to grind a stump is shortly after a tree has been removed, before the wood begins to harden or sprout new growth. However, older stumps can still be ground effectively, depending on their condition and accessibility. Grinding can go down several inches below the surface, allowing for topsoil to be added and the area to be re-seeded, re-landscaped, or replanted—whether with a new tree or something else entirely.

​

When considering stump grinding, it is important to think about what comes next. Will the area become lawn? Garden? Patio? Our team can advise on the right depth and cleanup level depending on your goals. In some cases, roots may extend far beyond the stump and could impact nearby structures or underground utilities. We will assess the site thoroughly and help you decide whether full stump removal or grinding is the better choice for your situation. Either way, our priority is a clean, safe, and thoughtful approach that respects your land and the broader ecosystem.
