Stump Grinding · Greater Lansing, MI
Stump grinding across Greater Lansing
Removing a tree usually leaves the stump behind. We grind it down below grade so you get your lawn, bed, or patio footprint back — with the chips cleaned up and the area ready for whatever comes next.
Who this is for
Homeowners who've had a tree taken down, are dealing with old stumps in the yard, or need a stump out of the way before landscaping, hardscaping, or a fence goes in.
What's included
- Grinding the stump 6–12 inches below grade
- Grinding visible surface roots when requested
- Cleanup of chips and grindings
- Backfill with clean topsoil (optional)
- Reseeding the disturbed area (optional)
Problems we solve
- Stump in the middle of the lawn that's a hazard to mow around
- Old stump that keeps sending up suckers
- Stump in the way of a planned patio, wall, or fence line
- Rotting stump attracting insects near the house
Pricing factors
Every job is different — here's what actually drives the number:
- Stump diameter measured at the widest point
- How many stumps are being ground on the same visit
- Access — a walk-out backyard versus a tight gated side yard
- Depth of grinding required for the follow-up work
- Whether you want the chips hauled off or left as mulch

Frequently asked
How deep do you grind stumps?+
Standard grind is 6–12 inches below grade — enough for lawn, planting bed, or most landscape uses. Deeper grinding for patios, footings, or foundations is quoted per job.
Do you haul off the chips?+
Either way. Most homeowners have us leave the chips as mulch or backfill the hole; we can also haul them off for an added fee.
Can you reseed the spot after?+
Yes. We can backfill with topsoil and reseed as part of the job so the lawn recovers.
Do you grind the roots too?+
We grind visible surface roots that run from the stump when requested. Full root chasing is possible but priced separately.
