Whether you're dealing with one stump left over from a storm-damaged tree or a yard full of them after a bigger removal job, our crew shows up on time, works efficiently, and leaves your property level and ready for what's next.
Most of the stumps we grind belong to homeowners who are tired of tripping over roots or mowing around a dead stump. We take care of it in one visit, work carefully around your yard, and clean up before we leave.
Homeowners typically call us to:
Preparing a yard for new landscaping, sod, or a garden bed
Removing a tripping hazard for kids or pets
Getting rid of stumps that keep sprouting new growth
Clearing space before a fence, deck, or shed installation
Simply improving curb appeal before a sale or renovation
Most residential jobs are completed in 30 minutes to two hours, depending on the size and number of stumps, and we're happy to grind multiple stumps in the same visit at a better combined rate.
Stumps on a commercial property aren't just cosmetic issues; they can be liability risks, interfere with parking lot paving, landscaping contracts, or site development timelines. Our commercial stump grinding service is designed to work around business hours, tenant access, and larger-scale properties without disrupting day-to-day operations.
We've handled this kind of work for:
Property management companies clearing multiple stumps across a site
Developers prepping lots ahead of construction or landscaping
Municipalities, schools, and HOAs managing shared green spaces
Landscaping and construction contractors who need a reliable subcontractor for stump work
For larger commercial jobs, we can provide a site walkthrough and a detailed quote in advance so you know exactly what to expect before work begins.
These two terms get used interchangeably, but they're different services with different outcomes:
Stump grinding mechanically shreds the visible stump down below ground level, leaving most of the root system in place to decompose naturally over time. It's faster, less invasive to your yard, and more affordable which is why it's what most homeowners and businesses choose.
Stump removal involves digging out the entire stump and root ball, which leaves a larger hole that typically needs to be backfilled. It's more thorough, but also more time-consuming, more disruptive to surrounding soil and landscaping, and more expensive.
If you're not sure which tree stump removal option makes sense for your property, we're happy to walk you through it during your free quote. There's no one-size-fits-all answer, and it often comes down to what you're planning to do with the space afterward.
Bigger trees leave bigger problems behind. Large stump removal think stumps over 30–40 inches in diameter, or those from mature, deep-rooted trees requires larger grinding equipment and more time on site, but it's still something we handle regularly.
For large stump removal jobs, we typically:
Assess root spread and any nearby obstacles (fences, foundations, utility lines)
Use heavier-duty grinding equipment suited to the stump's size and wood density
Grind deeper than a standard job when the stump is being cleared for construction, a new tree planting, or deep landscaping work
Leave the site clean, with wood chips available as free mulch unless you'd prefer them hauled away
Large or multiple stumps generally take longer than a standard residential job, so we'll always give you a realistic time estimate up front with no surprises on the day of service.
By default, we leave the nutrient-rich wood chips on-site, they make great free mulch for garden beds, flower beds, or pathways. If you'd rather have a completely clear yard, we also offer wood chip removal for an additional fee. Just let us know your preference when you book.
We serve homeowners and businesses throughout Toronto and the surrounding GTA, including North York, Richmond Hill, Oakville, Mississauga, Burlington, Vaughan, Woodbridge, Pickering, and Oshawa. Not sure if we cover your area? Reach out and we'll confirm coverage along with your free quote.
Cost depends on stump size, number of stumps, root spread, and site access. We provide free, no-obligation quotes over a quick call or text so you know the price before we book anything.
Most residential stumps take 30 minutes to 2 hours. Larger stumps, multiple stumps, or difficult-access sites may take longer, we'll give you a time estimate up front.
Yes. Once a stump is ground down, you can typically plant grass, shrubs, or even a new tree in the same area. For very deep-rooted or recently ground large stumps, we may recommend waiting a season or opting for deeper grinding first.
Both. We regularly work with homeowners, property managers, landscaping contractors, and developers across the GTA.
We'll ask about your stump's size, location, and site access, then give you a straightforward price with no hidden fees, no pressure and no obligation.
