Stump Grinding
A stump left in the ground is a trip hazard, a mower obstacle, and an invitation for pests and rot. We grind below grade — past the root flare — so the spot is clean, level, and ready for grass, a new planting, or a patio. We grind the visible stump and the major surface roots, then clean up the chips.
Warning signs you need it
- A stump you keep hitting with the mower
- Suckers and shoots growing back from the old roots
- A stump rotting and attracting ants or bees
- You want to replant, sod, or build where the stump is
- A stump in the middle of a defensible-space zone
How ADS does it safely
- We grind the stump 6–12 inches below grade, past the root flare.
- Surface roots that are in the way get ground down too.
- We locate and flag irrigation and utilities before we start.
- Chips are hauled or left for mulch — your choice.
- The hole is backfilled so the spot is safe and level.
