Stump Grinding in Madison, TN
Fast, thorough stump grinding that clears the way for a clean, usable yard.
Stump Grinding for Madison Properties
A stump left after a removal makes mowing, fencing and landscaping harder. We grind stumps below grade in Madison so the spot can be filled, seeded or sodded, from a small stump on a tight lot off Gallatin Pike to a large maple stump with spreading roots in a post-war yard.
Old shade trees often leave behind big, wide root flares, and lots in older neighborhoods can have buried lines and old foundations nearby. The job gets a look first. Call Tennessee 811 before digging or grinding so buried utilities are marked, and we will go over access, depth and cleanup during the estimate.
Stump grinding pairs well with removal. Ask us to grind the stump on the same visit.

Questions,
Answered
Don't see your question here? Give us a call and we'll walk you through it.
Can you grind big root flares?
Yes. Large old stumps often have wide roots at the surface, and we grind them below grade.
Can the machine get into a tight backyard?
Often, yes. Access is one of the first things we check during the estimate.
How far below the surface do you grind?
We grind stumps below grade, not just flush with the ground, so you can plant, seed, or landscape right over the spot afterward.
What happens to the wood chips?
We can leave the mulch for you to use around your yard, or haul it off, whichever you'd rather have.
Do you remove the roots too?
We grind down the visible root flare and surface roots near the stump. Deeper roots stay in the ground - they break down naturally over time and won't send up new sprouts once the stump itself is gone.
Can I plant something right where the stump was?
Yes, once we've backfilled the hole. Give the ground a little time to settle first if you're planting something with real roots.
