Professional Stump Grinding Services
Clean, Effective Stump Removal Without Major Excavation
Sturgeons Lawn & Tree Service provides professional stump grinding services for residential and commercial properties. Stump grinding is the most efficient way to eliminate unsightly tree stumps while minimizing disruption to the surrounding landscape.
Our licensed and insured team uses specialized equipment to grind stumps below the surface, helping restore yard usability, improve safety, and prepare areas for landscaping or future use.
What Is Stump Grinding?
Stump grinding is a process that removes the visible portion of a tree stump by grinding it down below ground level. Unlike full stump removal, grinding does not require large-scale excavation, making it a practical solution for most properties.
The remaining wood material breaks down naturally over time, helping reduce surface obstructions without disturbing nearby soil or structures.

Stump Grinding vs. Stump Removal
Stump grinding is the preferred option when minimal disturbance is desired. In situations where full root extraction is required—such as for construction, hardscaping, or fence installation—stump removal may be recommended instead.
Our team can help determine which option is best based on your project goals.
