WHAT’S INCLUDED
Everything you need. Nothing you don’t.
Every residential stump grinding job in the Twin Cities includes the same thorough process — no matter how big or small the stump, how many you have, or where they are on the property.
We grind to 4–6 inches below grade as standard. That’s enough to restore lawn, lay sod, or plant new landscaping over the top. If you need deeper — for a new tree, a sidewalk repair, or driveway work — we go to 12–14 inches on request.
Tell us before we start and we’ll price it into the quote.

Single Backyard Stump
The most common call we get. One stump left over from a tree removal. We’re in and out in under an hour for most single-stump jobs.
Multiple Stumps, One Visit
Had several trees taken down? We grind all of them in one trip. More stumps means a better rate per stump — mention them all when you reach out.
Tight Gate Access
Our machine is 36 inches wide and fits through standard residential gates. We’ve reached backyards across the Twin Cities that other companies couldn’t.
Stump in Landscape Rock
We can grind stumps surrounded by decorative rock. We’ll let you know if any prep is needed and work carefully around the rock bed.
Deep grind for new planting
Planting a new tree where the old one was? We grind 12–14 inches down to give the new root system room. Just tell us upfront.
Boulevard Stumps
City right-of-way stumps are something we handle regularly. Let us know if the stump is in the boulevard so we can account for utility placement.

Frequently Asked Questions
Common questions from Twin Cities homeowners.
Everything you need to know before booking residential stump grinding near me in the Twin Cities.
How much does residential stump grinding cost in the Twin Cities?
Minimum service call: $175 · Most residential jobs $200–$500. The price depends on stump diameter, how many stumps you have, and any site conditions like tight access or surface roots. Text us a photo for a flat quote — most replies within a few hours.
How do I get a quote?
Text a photo of your stump to (612) 440-7641 with your address. A photo gets you a faster and more accurate quote than a description alone — we can see the diameter, surface roots, and access in one shot. Most quotes back within hours.
Will your machine fit through my backyard gate?
Our grinder is 36 inches wide, which fits through most standard residential backyard gates. If your gate is narrower, let us know the width when you reach out and we’ll tell you if we can make it work.
How deep do you grind?
Standard depth is 4–6 inches below grade — enough for lawn restoration, sod, or most landscaping. If you’re planting a new tree or prepping for construction, we go to 12–14 inches on request. Just mention it when you reach out.
Will the grinding damage my lawn?
We use a wheeled machine rather than tracked equipment, which keeps turf damage minimal. We’re careful around sprinkler heads, edging, and garden beds. Let us know about any underground systems before we start.
What happens to the wood chips?
We leave them in a neat pile on-site by default — you can use them as fill, mulch, or compost. If you’d rather we haul them away, just say so when you book. No extra charge to leave them.
How quickly can you get out to my property?
We schedule most residential jobs within the same week. Text early in the week for the best availability. Need it faster? Same-day service is available depending on scheduling — just ask.
Do you grind multiple stumps in one visit?
Yes — and it’s more cost-efficient than booking separate trips. If you had several trees removed, send photos of all the stumps when you request a quote. We’ll price the whole job in one flat number.
