The Clear Advantages of Removing Tree Stumps
A leftover tree stump is more than just an eyesore. It can be a safety hazard, a haven for pests, and an obstacle to your landscaping goals. Discover the lasting benefits of having our professional team grind it away for good.
Enhance Property Safety
Remove a dangerous tripping hazard for family, guests, and pets, making your yard a safer place to play and relax.
Prevent Pest Infestations
Decaying wood attracts termites, carpenter ants, and other wood-boring insects that can eventually spread to your home or other healthy trees.
Free Up Valuable Space
Prepare the ground for new grass, a garden bed, a patio, or future construction projects without obstruction.
Halt Unwanted Growth
Grinding eliminates the root system’s ability to send up new, persistent sprouts that are difficult to manage over time.
Our Stump Grinding Approach
At Kenny Tree, we believe in finishing the job correctly. Our stump grinding service is designed to be the perfect follow-up to a tree removal or the solution for any existing stumps on your property. We handle everything with professional care and attention to detail.
Advanced Stump Grinding
We utilize powerful, state-of-the-art Vermeer grinding equipment to methodically shred any stump, regardless of size or wood type, into small wood chips. We grind well below ground level to ensure the entire stump is gone, leaving a space you can immediately repurpose.
Surface Root Removal
Large, unsightly surface roots that snake across your lawn can be just as problematic as the stump itself, creating tripping hazards and damaging lawnmowers. We can trace and grind these roots to smooth out your landscape and make lawn care easier.
Debris Management & Cleanup
After grinding, you are left with a pile of nutrient-rich wood chips. We offer flexible options: you can use the chips as natural mulch for your garden beds, or we can haul them away completely, leaving your property pristine and ready for its next chapter.

Stump Grinding Frequently Asked Questions
How deep do you grind the stumps?
We typically grind stumps 4-8 inches below the surface. This is deep enough to remove the main stump body and allow for topsoil and new grass seed to be laid over the area. Deeper grinding is available upon request for specific landscaping or construction needs.
What is the difference between stump grinding and stump removal?
Stump grinding uses a machine to shred the stump into wood chips, leaving the roots to naturally decay underground. Full stump removal involves excavating the entire root ball, which is a much more invasive and costly process. Grinding is the preferred method for most residential and commercial properties.
Will the process damage my lawn or property?
Our team is highly experienced in maneuvering our equipment to minimize any impact. As a fully licensed and insured company, we use protective measures and operate with precision to protect your surrounding lawn, garden beds, and hardscapes.
Can you get to a stump in a tight spot or on a slope?
Yes. We have a range of grinders in different sizes, allowing us to access stumps in fenced-in backyards, on uneven terrain, and in other hard-to-reach locations throughout the Puget Sound area.
Do I need to be home for the service?
While it’s not required for you to be home, we do need clear access to the stump. We will confirm all details and your preferences during the initial consultation so our team can complete the job efficiently and to your exact specifications.
