Safe, Thorough, and Property-Conscious stump removal

After a tree is removed, the remaining stump can become an obstacle, safety concern, or long-term nuisance. At Holistic Tree Works, we provide professional stump removal services designed to restore usability to your property while protecting surrounding soil, turf, and landscape features.

Stump removal is more than surface grinding. Proper technique ensures the area can be safely reclaimed for lawn, planting, or future use without unnecessary damage to nearby structures or underground utilities.

Stump Removal After Tree Service

Many stump removal projects follow one of our professional tree removals. When we remove a tree, we can coordinate stump grinding as part of a comprehensive plan for your property.

In some cases, leaving roots in place may be appropriate depending on soil conditions and site goals. We take a holistic approach, explaining your options clearly so you can make an informed decision.

Our Approach

We use specialized stump grinding equipment to reduce the stump below grade level. The depth of grinding is determined by the intended future use of the area β€” whether that’s turf restoration, replanting, or structural work.

Our process includes:

  • Evaluation of underground utilities

  • Protection of surrounding turf and structures

  • Controlled grinding to an appropriate depth

  • Cleanup of grinding debris

  • Guidance on backfilling and soil restoration

  • Overseeding with new grass if nessecarry

We take care to minimize unnecessary disturbance and leave the site orderly. Depending on the scope of your project, it may be necessary to liaise with your local utility company to mark underground service lines or other equipment. Holistic Tree Works can contact your utility company on your behalf and work with them to ensure that there are no nasty surprises.
