Stump Grinding or Full Removal - Which Do You Need?

Most homeowners in Richmond Hill go with stump grinding rather than a full removal, and it's usually the right call. Grinding takes care of the visible stump and the upper root system, while the deeper roots break down naturally over time without disturbing nearby paving or landscaping.

Full stump removal, which means digging out the entire root ball, is a bigger undertaking and typically only necessary if you're planning to build directly over that spot, such as a shed or a pool. We're happy to walk you through which option makes more sense for your property.

Tree Rules in Richmond Hill

Richmond Hill has a Tree Preservation By-law that requires a permit to remove a living tree that is 15 centimetres or more in diameter. This rule is for trees that are still standing. Since stump grinding happens after a tree is already cut down, it usually doesn't need a permit. If you also need to remove a living tree, we can help guide you through that process.

Why Choose Grindstone Tree Co.

Frequently Asked Questions

How quickly can you get to a stump grinding job in Richmond Hill?

It depends on scheduling, but we often have availability within a few days. Reach out with your stump details and we'll confirm the next open slot.

Will grinding damage the grass or garden beds around the stump?

Our equipment is sized to work close to landscaping without disturbing the surrounding area. We take extra care near gardens, fences, and sprinkler lines.

Can you grind more than one stump in a single visit?

In most cases, yes. Let us know how many stumps you have and roughly how large they are, and we'll plan the job around that.

What happens to the wood chips after grinding?

You're welcome to keep them as free mulch, or we can haul them away as part of the service.
