We're active throughout the city, from established neighbourhoods near Unionville to newer developments around Cornell. Every yard has its own layout, so we take a look at the property first and bring equipment that actually fits the job in front of us.

How the Process Works

We start by checking the stump and anything nearby worth protecting, fences, garden beds, or buried irrigation lines. From there, the grinder works the stump and its roots flare down below ground level, so there's nothing left sticking up once we're finished.

Wood chips from the grinding process are left on-site by default, and many homeowners keep them as free mulch for garden beds or walkways. If you'd rather not have them around, hauling them away can be arranged for an added cost. On request, we can also backfill the area with topsoil so it's ready for new grass or planting.

Stump Grinding or Full Removal?

For most Markham properties, grinding is the more practical option. It clears the visible stump and much of the root system, while whatever's left underground breaks down naturally over time without disturbing nearby paving or landscaping.

Full removal, which means digging out the entire root ball, is a bigger job. It's typically only worth considering when new construction, like a shed or pool, is planned directly over that spot. If you're not sure which makes more sense for your yard, we're happy to take a look and give you a straightforward answer.

Why Choose Grindstone Tree Co.

Getting even, clean results from a stump grinder takes more than access to the equipment, it takes regular use. Our crews operate this machinery often, which means the job gets done efficiently and without leaving damage to anything nearby.

We also try to keep the process simple on your end. Quotes are free, and in most cases, a photo of the stump with a measuring tape across it, along with your address, is all we need to give you an accurate estimate, no site visit required.

Frequently Asked Questions

What affects stump grinding cost in Markham?

Stump size and how accessible it is are the main factors. Reach out and we'll provide a free quote based on your property.

How long does stump grinding usually take?

Most single stumps are ground down within an hour or two. Larger or multiple stumps may take longer.

Do you leave the wood chips after grinding?

Yes, that's our standard approach, wood chips are left behind as free mulch. Removing them instead is possible for an extra charge if you'd prefer a completely clear yard.

Can I get a quote without a site visit?

In most cases, yes. A clear photo of the stump with a measuring tape across it, and your address, is usually enough for an accurate estimate. For larger or more complex jobs, we may suggest a quick visit first.
