Stump Grinding & Removal
Stumps can be an eyesore, a tripping hazard, and a source of pest attraction.
Logs & Boulders offers professional stump grinding and removal services to restore the usability and safety of your yard.
Why Stump Grinding Matters
Leaving stumps in place can lead to several problems: regrowth, disease and fungal spread, insect infestations such as carpenter ants and termites, and obstruction to lawn care equipment. Grinding removes the visible trunk and most of the major roots, reducing the chance of resprouting and making the site easier to use. Removal also helps when preparing for construction or grading, as stumps can interfere with foundations and drainage.

Frequently Asked Questions
How deep do you grind stumps?
We typically grind 4–12 inches below grade, depending on your needs. Deeper grinding can be done for construction preparation.
Will the stump regrow after grinding?
Grinding removes the trunk and many roots that cause resprouting. For species that resprout aggressively, additional measures may be recommended.
How long does stump grinding take?
Most average-sized stumps can be ground in under an hour; larger or root-saturated stumps may require more time.
