  • Tree stump removal requires digging or pulling out bulky stumps with special equipment and then digging out the roots. It’s a time-consuming, labor-intensive task with a risk of injury. Our trained landscaping experts will get the job done safely.

  • Our experts use a stump grinding machine that grinds and shreds stumps into wood chips, which make for excellent mulch. While stump grinding can remove stumps quicker than stump removal, it will not remove the tree’s root system.

  • Once the stump is removed, the area usually requires restoration. First, we always clean up any debris left from the stump removal process. Then, rather than leaving you with a pile of wood chips or a hole in the ground, we offer several other services, including adding topsoil, replanting trees and shrubs, and more.

  • White speech bubble with a star in the middle against a green background.

    The Grounds Guys do a phenomenal job. They did a major cleanup of my yard, installed new sod, laid stone, shells, and mulch, planted new Areca palms and flowers, rerouted some sprinklers, and created a flagstone path to the backyard, and all of it was down with meticulous care, attention to detail, and skill. The Guys are friendly, professional, and just a delight to deal with. They offered good suggestions for improving the yard and have communicated clearly throughout the process. I can’t recommend them enough.

    The team at Grounds Guys was so helpful in getting started, providing us a quote and even revising the quote when we changed our preferences. The team who came out was so quick and efficient and our yard looks great! Highly recommend!
