Say Goodbye to that Leftover Stump
Fast, clean, and affordable stump removal from your local tree care experts. Get rid of unsightly stumps and reclaim your yard today.
Once a tree comes down, the stump that’s left behind can be an eyesore, a safety hazard, and a magnet for pests. Stump grinding uses professional-grade equipment to chip the stump down below ground level, leaving you with a clean, usable yard.
Timber Tree Service provides reliable stump grinding and removal throughout Western New York. Whether it’s one stubborn stump or a yard full of them, our trained crew gets the job done right.
Why Remove a Stump?
Leaving a stump in your yard causes more problems than you might think. Here’s what stump removal does for you:
Eliminate Trip Hazards
Protect your family, guests, and yourself from dangerous trips and falls.
Prevents Pests
Old stumps attract termites, ants, and beetles that can spread to your home and healthy trees.
Stops Regrowth
Grinding prevents the stump from sprouting new shoots and roots.
Boosts Curb Appeal
A clean yard looks better and adds value to your property.
Stump Grinding vs. Stump Removal: What's the Difference?
Both options get rid of your stump, but they work differently.
Stump grinding uses a specialized machine to grind the stump down into wood chips, several inches below the soil line. It’s faster, cleaner, and more affordable, since it leaves the root system to decompose naturally underground. For most homeowners, grinding is the better choice.
Stump removal pulls out the entire stump along with the root system. This leaves a large hole and requires more labor, but it makes sense if you’re planning major landscaping, building, or replanting in the exact spot.

Our Process, Step by Step
We keep things simple and straightforward from start to finish:
1. Free assessment and quote
We visit your property, evaluate the stump, and give you an honest, upfront price.
2. Utility line check
Safety first. We call before we dig to confirm there are no underground utility lines in the work area.
3. Grinding below ground level
Our crew grinds the stump several inches beneath the surface so it’s completely out of sight.
4. Cleanup and debris handling
We clear away the mess and can leave the wood chips as mulch or haul them off, your choice.

Frequently Asked Questions
How deep do you grind?
We typically grind stumps 4 to 6 inches below ground level, deep enough for replanting grass or covering with soil. If you need it deeper for landscaping, just let us know.
What happens to the wood chips?
That’s up to you. We can spread the chips as free mulch for your garden beds, or haul them away as part of our cleanup.
How long does it take?
Most standard stumps are ground in under an hour. Larger stumps or multiple stumps may take longer, but we’ll give you a time estimate during your free quote.
Do you remove the roots too?
Standard grinding handles the main stump and surface roots. If you need the full root system removed, ask us about our complete stump removal service.
Can you grind stumps in tight spaces?
Yes. Our equipment is designed to reach stumps in tight or awkward spots, including narrow side yards and areas close to fences or structures.
