Stump Removal in Jefferson, Hamblen, & Grainger Counties

Sometimes, getting rid of a stump means more than just making it disappear from the surface. For any project that requires digging, like a new foundation or a septic system, the massive root ball left in the ground can be a major obstacle. If it’s not removed, it can get in the way of construction and rot away later, causing the ground above it to sink.

At Jefferson Land Clearing & Excavation, we provide a heavy-duty stump removal service. We don’t just grind the stump down; we use the power of our excavators to dig out the entire stump and its major root system. This is the only way to guarantee the ground is completely clear and stable for future building.

Complete Removal for Build-Ready Ground

Our stump removal service is a critical first step for many construction and landscaping projects. By pulling the entire stump out of the ground, we make sure there will be no surprises or obstacles when you start to build.

Complete stump removal is the right choice when you are:

  • Preparing to Build a Foundation: You cannot pour a concrete slab or foundation over an old stump and roots.
  • Installing a Driveway or Patio: The ground must be completely clear of roots to prevent sinking and cracking later on.
  • Digging for Pools or Ponds: The entire root ball must be gone to create a stable base for your new pool.
  • Installing Septic Systems or Utility Lines: We clear the path so that tanks and pipes can be laid without any underground obstacles.
    • –
  • Replanting a Large Tree: If you want to plant a new large tree in the same spot, the old root system needs to be removed.

When the job calls for more than just grinding, you need the power of an excavator. For complete and professional stump removal, call the experts at (865) 805-0543.

Frequently Asked Questions About Stump Removal

Stump removal is a heavy-duty process where we use an excavator to dig the entire stump and its main root ball out of the ground. Stump grinding uses a smaller machine to shred the stump into wood chips, but it leaves the main root system in the ground.
You should choose removal any time you plan to build or dig in that spot. Grinding is fine if you just want to plant grass, but removal is necessary for foundations, driveways, patios, pools, and utility lines to make sure the ground is completely clear of obstacles.
Yes, it will. Because we are pulling the entire root ball out of the earth, it will leave a significant hole. As part of our service, we can “backfill” this hole with other dirt and grade the area smooth for you.
Once the stump is out of the ground, we can load it onto our trucks and haul it completely off your property. Our service includes a complete cleanup of the work area.
No. If your only goal is to have a smooth lawn that you can mow over, stump grinding is the better and more affordable option. It gets rid of the visible stump without creating a large hole in your yard.
