Get rid of old stumps for good. We grind them below ground level so you can reclaim your yard.
Stump Grinding in Charlotte, NC
Old tree stumps don't just look bad — they attract termites, trip up your mower, and take up usable space in your yard. Charlotte's warm, humid climate makes stumps break down slowly on their own, and in the meantime they can sprout new growth that's a constant hassle to manage. Grinding is the fastest way to get rid of them.
We've been grinding stumps across Charlotte for over 10 years, handling everything from small ornamental stumps in South End yards to massive oak stumps on Ballantyne properties. Our commercial-grade grinders chew the stump down 6 to 12 inches below ground level, and we fill the hole with the wood chips left behind. No stump, no tripping hazard, no more mowing around it.

What We Offer
Our stump grinding services cover everything you need for your Charlotte property.
Below-Grade Grinding
We don't just shave the stump down to ground level. Our equipment grinds 6 to 12 inches below grade, so the stump won't sprout new growth and you can plant grass, lay sod, or install landscaping right over the spot.
Any Size Stump
Six-inch crepe myrtle stump in your side yard? Four-foot oak stump in the front? Doesn't matter — our commercial grinders chew through them all.
Surface Root Grinding
Large surface roots that extend from the stump can be ground down too. This is especially useful when the roots are lifting sidewalks, driveways, or creating tripping hazards in your yard.
Tight-Space Access
Charlotte's older neighborhoods like Dilworth and Plaza Midwood have small lots and narrow side yards. We have equipment that fits through gates and tight access points to reach stumps wherever they are.
Chip Fill and Cleanup
The grinding process produces wood chips that we use to fill the hole left behind. Excess chips are spread around your property or hauled away — your choice.
