About NorthCut Stump Grinding | Twin Cities Stump Specialists
NorthCut is a locally owned stump grinding company serving the Twin Cities metro. One owner, one specialty, one job done right every time.
OUR STORY
Built on one simple idea.
NorthCut Stump Grinding was started by Caleb Nyquist right here in the Twin Cities. Before starting the company, Caleb noticed the same pattern over and over: homeowners were getting jerked around by contractors who treated stump grinding as an afterthought — slow to respond, vague on price, and unreliable when it came to showing up.
So he built something better. As a stump grinding company in St. Paul MN and the surrounding metro, NorthCut can offer faster scheduling, better equipment, and cleaner results than a generalist who lists grinding as one of twenty services.
The business is simple: respond fast, quote honestly, show up when you say you will, and leave the property better than you found it. That’s it. And based on 50+ five-star reviews, it turns out that’s exactly what people were looking for.

Honest communication
We respond fast, quote clearly, and never leave you guessing. The price we give you is the price on the invoice. No ranges, no surprise add-ons.

Clean results
We grind to a proper depth, clean up what we disturb, and leave the site tidy. Chips in a neat pile or hauled away — your choice
WHY WE SPECIALIZE
Stump grinding only. Here’s why that matters.
A lot of landscaping and tree service companies offer stump grinding as one item on a long list. For them, it’s a side job. Scheduling is slower. Equipment is whatever they have on hand. The operator might be whoever’s available that day.
NorthCut does one thing. That focus pays off in ways that matter to you:
Faster scheduling because the calendar isn’t shared with a dozen other services.
Better equipment owned and maintained specifically for this work, not rented or borrowed.
A consistent operator Caleb handles the jobs himself. You’re not getting a different crew each time.
Cleaner results when grinding is your entire focus, the details don’t slip.

OUR EQUIPMENT
Professional equipment. Owned, not rented.
We run a commercial-grade stump grinder with carbide teeth — owned and maintained by us, not pulled from a rental yard the morning of your job.
The machine is wheeled, not tracked, which means minimal turf damage when we cross your lawn. At 36 inches wide, it fits through standard backyard gates — something most larger equipment can’t do.
Machine type: Commercial-grade grinder
Teeth: Carbide — clean, efficient cuts
Width: 36" — fits standard gates
Drive: Wheeled, not tracked
Depth: 4–6" standard / 12–14" on request
