Minimally-Invasive Stump Grinding
When a tree is removed, what's left is an ugly stump that can be both unsightly and hazardous. Our minimally-invasive stump grinding techniques effectively remove the stump while minimizing damage to your surrounding landscape.






The Importance of Stump Grinding After Tree Removal
Stump grinding has many benefits, from improving aesthetics to creating tangible benefits for you and your property.
Boost Curb Appeal
An ugly stump can create quite an eyesore on your landscape. Grinding a stump down to below the soil level will boost curb appeal and increase your property’s value.
Prevent Regrowth
Stumps may shoot out sprouts and suckers that you’ll need to remove. Grinding will eliminate the stump, preventing unwanted growth.
Limit Tripping Risks
A stump and its exposed roots can pose a tripping hazard to you and anyone visiting your property.
Maximize Outdoor Space
With the stump below the ground and decomposing, you’ll have space to add new decorations or landscaping to your yard.
Create Defensible Space
Creating defensible space is important in the greater Truckee-Tahoe region, and removing a stump will eliminate a flammable object in your yard.

Benefits of Stump Grindings for Your Landscape
Stump grindings make excellent mulch for your trees or garden. Stump grindings act as a natural mulch and will decompose over time. This process will help your soil build better structure, making your plants healthier in the process.
When using mulch around your trees, keep it at least 2-4 inches away from the tree's base to prevent moisture buildup. Also, avoid placing mulch within 5 feet of your home to reduce the risk of fire spreading during a wildfire. Keeping mulch away from your home is essential for defensible space mitigation, especially in the greater Truckee-Tahoe region.
