Stump grinding and removal, explained
Old stumps trip up mowers, send up suckers and slowly rots into a home for ants. Grinding turns it into wood chips below the surface, so you can plant, seed or build right over it.
Our grinder is compact enough to fit through most side gates, which matters on the narrow lots here.
Time to grind it out
- The stump is a trip hazard or blocks the mower
- Shoots keep sprouting from the stump or roots
- Ants or fungus have moved in
- You want to plant a replacement tree in the same area
- You are planning a patio, shed or new sod
How stump grinding works
- We call Ontario One Call to mark buried lines before we grind.
- The grinder chews the stump down below the soil line.
- Large surface roots are ground out too, if you want them gone.
- You can keep the chips as mulch, or we backfill with soil.
What it costs
Count on $150 to $450 a stump. Wide stumps and ones behind a narrow gate cost more. You see the exact amount on paper before the grinder starts.

When the emerald ash borer moved through Mississauga, many ash trees in Churchill Meadows were cut down in a hurry and the stumps were left behind. Grinding those old stumps clears space for the native replacement tree the City asks for.
Questions about stump grinding and removal
How deep do you grind?
We take it down 15 to 30 cm under the soil line. That leaves room for sod, or for planting a new tree close by.
Will the stump grow back?
Once the stump and main roots are ground out, most species will not regrow.
Can you grind a stump you did not cut?
Yes. We grind stumps of any age, even ones left by another company.
Do you need to come inside the backyard?
Yes, but the grinder fits through most gates about 90 cm wide.
