Stump Grinding

Why grind a stump?

Stump grinding is a common practice in Roanoke, Virginia, to remove unsightly tree stumps from yards and gardens. It is a service that we provide utilizing a specialized machine to grind the stump down to below ground level. This allows for the area to be filled with soil and seeded for new growth, or repurposed for other landscaping projects.

It is important to hire a professional and experienced company to perform stump grinding as it can be a dangerous and difficult task. Either our client or our office staff can call VA 811 or request a ticket online prior to stump grinding to ensure careful completion of the stump removal.
