Stump Removal
Construction sites, additions, driveways, and anywhere the ground must be fully clear below grade.
Sometimes grinding isn't enough. Full stump removal extracts the entire stump and root ball from the ground — the right call when something is being built where the tree stood.
It's more invasive and costs more than grinding, which is why we'll tell you honestly when you don't need it. If you're pouring a foundation, setting a driveway, or running utilities through that spot, you do.
What's included
- Complete extraction of stump and root ball
- Required for construction, foundations, and driveways over the old root zone
- Site left graded and ready for the next contractor
- Honest guidance — if grinding will do the job, we'll say so
