Stump Grinding in Portland, TN
Fast, thorough stump grinding that clears the way for a clean, usable yard.
Stump Grinding for Portland Properties
A stump in a mowed lawn or along a fence line is a nuisance that lasts for years. We grind stumps below grade in Portland so the spot can be filled and planted, whether it is a stump in an in-town yard near Main Street or a big stump on a farm property that gets in the way of a mower or tractor.
On larger properties we look at ground conditions, since soft or sloped ground affects where equipment can go. We check the stump, the roots and the access during the free estimate and clean up the chips so the area is usable when we leave.
Call Tennessee 811 before any digging or grinding so buried utilities are marked. Stump grinding pairs well with removal, so ask about doing both 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 stumps along a fence line?
Usually, yes. We look at the fence, access and the stump during the estimate and plan the work around them.
Can the machine get across soft ground?
It depends on conditions. We check access and ground during the estimate and tell you what is possible.
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.
