That leftover tree stump is more than just an eyesore. It’s a tripping hazard, a pain to mow around, and it can attract ants and termites.

Stump Grinding in Jefferson, Hamblen, & Grainger Counties

After a tree is cut down, you’re left with the most stubborn part: the stump. Trying to dig it out by hand is nearly impossible, and letting it rot away can take more than a decade. The best solution is to have it professionally ground down.

At Jefferson Land Clearing & Excavation, we use a powerful, high-speed stump grinder. This machine has a sharp cutting wheel that grinds the stump and its major roots into small wood chips, chewing it down well below the surface of the ground. It’s a fast, clean, and efficient process that completely removes the stump from sight.

The Fast, Clean Way to Erase Stumps for Good

Our stump grinding service is the perfect way to finish a tree removal job and restore the look and safety of your yard. We can handle any stump, no matter the size or location.

The benefits of our stump grinding service include:

Complete Stump Removal: We grind the stump 6 to 8 inches below the ground, which is deep enough to remove the entire stump and allow you to plant new grass.
No Big Holes: Unlike digging a stump out, grinding leaves your yard intact. The process creates a pile of mulch that neatly fills the hole where the stump used to be.
Reclaim Your Yard: Once the stump is gone, you can plant grass, create a garden bed, or just enjoy the smooth, open space.
Improves Safety & Appearance: Removing stumps gets rid of tripping hazards and instantly makes your whole property look cleaner and more cared-for.

Frequently Asked Questions About Stump Grinding

What is the difference between stump grinding and stump removal?

Stump grinding uses a machine to shred the stump into wood chips, leaving the roots in the ground to rot naturally. Stump removal means digging out the entire stump and its large root ball with an excavator, which leaves a very large hole and causes more damage to your yard.

What happens to all the wood chips?

The grinding process creates a pile of wood chips, which are great for use as natural mulch in flower beds. These chips conveniently fill the hole left by the stump. If you prefer, we can also quote you a price to haul the chips away.

How deep do you grind the stump?

We typically grind stumps to a depth of 6 to 8 inches below the ground level. This is plenty deep enough to get rid of the visible stump and allow you to cover the area with topsoil and plant new grass.

Can you grind stumps that are in tight spaces or on a hill?

Yes. We have different sizes of stump grinders. Some are self-propelled and can fit through a standard yard gate, allowing us to access stumps in backyards or other hard-to-reach areas.

Will the tree grow back after the stump is ground?

No. Once the main stump is ground out well below the surface, the tree’s root system can no longer produce new growth. The grinding process effectively kills the tree.
