Professional Stump Removal Services

Complete Stump & Root Extraction for Build-Ready Properties
Sturgeons Lawn & Tree Service provides professional stump removal services for residential and commercial properties where full stump and root extraction is required. Unlike stump grinding, stump removal involves removing the entire stump and root system, making it the preferred option for construction, fencing, hardscaping, and site preparation.
Our licensed and insured team evaluates each property to determine whether stump removal is necessary and completes the work using controlled excavation methods designed to protect surrounding areas.

What Is Stump Removal?
Stump removal is the process of fully extracting a tree stump along with its primary root system. This method is typically used when underground obstructions must be eliminated completely rather than ground down below the surface.
Stump removal is often recommended when future construction, structural installations, or grading is planned.


Stump Removal Services We Provide
Stump removal is commonly requested for:
-
Fence line and gate installations
-
Driveway, patio, or hardscape construction
-
Building pads and site preparation
-
Utility access and underground work
-
Areas where regrowth must be fully eliminated
Each project is evaluated based on stump size, root spread, access, and nearby structures.

Stump Removal vs. Stump Grinding
Stump removal and stump grinding serve different purposes:
-
Stump Grinding removes the visible stump below grade with minimal disturbance
-
Stump Removal eliminates the entire stump and root system through excavation
If restoring lawn space or improving appearance is the goal, stump grinding is often sufficient. If the area must be fully cleared for construction or permanent structures, stump removal is typically required.
Our team can help determine which option best fits your project needs.
