When you need stump grinding
- A stump is a trip hazard or blocks mowing

Done right for Wisconsin trees
Wisconsin soils range from sandy ground near the Dells and Mauston to heavier clay around Madison. Sandy soil is easier on the grinder; clay and rocky ground slow it down. Either way we grind below grade so the area is ready for sod or planting.

Stump Grinding questions
Is grinding better than pulling a stump?
Usually yes. Grinding leaves the soil structure intact and avoids a big hole. Pulling a large stump can damage lawns, pipes and nearby roots.
How deep do you grind?
Typically six to twelve inches below grade, enough to plant grass or mow over. We can go deeper if you are planting another tree.
What happens to the wood chips?
We can haul them away or leave them. Fresh chips make good mulch for beds but pull nitrogen from the soil if mixed in, so keep them on top.
