How Stump Grinding Works
Stump grinding is the process of removing a tree stump by using a stump grinder. A stump grinder is a machine that has a large, rotating blade that grinds the stump down into small pieces. The stump grinder will first make a cut around the circumference of the stump, and then it will start grinding away at the center of the stump.
Stump grinding is an effective way to remove the entire stump, and it's also relatively quick and easy. The entire process can usually be completed in just a few hours, and you won't have to deal with any messy cleanup afterwards if you would like us to remove the wood chips for you.

See What Our Customers Say About Our Stump Grinding & Removal Services
“We had a tree removal and stump grinding project completed by this company this week, and the entire experience was outstanding. The owner Mike was fantastic to work with—friendly, responsive, and very accommodating with scheduling as well.
The arborist crew that handled the tree removal on day one and the gentleman that completed the stump grinding on day two were both professional, courteous, and incredibly helpful. They worked efficiently, paid attention to detail, and did an excellent job from start to finish. They went above and beyond, and also took the time to answer questions and ensure we were completely satisfied with the work.
The quality of the service exceeded our expectations, and the property was left looking great when the job was done. We couldn’t be happier with the results.
10/10 recommend! If you’re looking for a reliable, professional company for tree removal and stump grinding, this is the team to call.”

“This is a well run business. I’ve hired All Around Arbor for 4 jobs over 3 years and am always a little gobsmacked by how organized, well executed, and reasonably priced their work is (in one case with large street trees their estimate was less than half the cost of the closest competitor bid). I suspect, based on casual inquiry, that a differentiating factor in the cost difference is due to owning rather than renting certain equipment (???). They also maintain really excellent communication, are reliable and prompt, and cleanup after themselves. Having used them over multiple years, I can also attest that their work has made a big difference in the health of our trees :-). I really like how they present their proposals for tree trimming with photographs identifying all the cuts they plan to make. They’ve also removed invasive trees for us, and ground several stumps. Most recently (earlier today), we needed a GIANT bamboo root ball removed from a spot which was not easy to access, and they were in and out in with a compact stump grinder in ~30 minutes.”

“Very impressed! Quick, accurate, friendly estimate and scheduling, followed by a utility check, followed by prompt and professional stump removal at a great price! Couldn’t have asked for better service. I would absolutely contact All Around Arbor for any future needs.”
- Kate M.
“From start to end, the whole process to get my large pin oak tree pruned was seamless with great communication. Mike, the owner, stopped by for the estimate and provided me with a lot of information to help me make an informed decision. His quote was also the lowest of three that I received. On the actual pruning day, Ryan and the crew arrived on time and did a fantastic job, even going above and beyond by helping us remove a few tree stump rounds that the previous owners left. THANK YOU!!!”

Stump Removal
Tree stump removal removes a tree stump by digging it out with a shovel or other tool. With stump removal, there will be a hole left afterward because it removes the stump and some of the root system.
This method is usually more time-consuming and difficult, but it may be necessary if the stump is too large to be ground down.

It’s faster and less disruptive than digging the stump out. Stump grinding is effective and will save money over tree stump removal.
Add-On to Tree Removal Services
In many cases, stump grinding is done as an add-on service to tree removal. If you're having a tree removed from your property, it's a good idea to also have the stump removed. This will ensure that the stump is completely gone and won't start sprouting new trees. It's also important to note that stump grinding is not always necessary after tree removal. Sometimes, the stump can be left in place if it's not in the way or if you don't need to replant a new tree in its place. Learn about our tree removal services.
