Stump grinding, any size
From one pine stump by the driveway to an oak base six feet across. Stumps are ground below the surface, so you can level the spot and plant grass or ground cover over it.
Any size stump, any location.

Before and after
Three recent jobs, each shot from about the same spot. The stump is ground below the surface and the grindings are raked out, so the spot can be leveled and planted.
Back yard in Lexington County
A wide, low stump with roots running out into the lawn. Ground out and raked level in September 2026.
Out in the country near Gilbert
An old stump hiding in the brush. Danny posted this one with the line “Now yall see... now yall dont!!!”
Front bed in Chapin
A 4 ft stump in a planting bed, right above a stacked stone wall. The wall and the lawn stayed as they were.
Services
One trade, done properly: stumps and the roots that come with them.
Tight spots and slopes
The Toro runs on tracks and goes where bigger machines can't: steep banks, the strip between the sidewalk and the curb, next to fences, decks and porches. A 34 inch gate in Forest Acres was no problem.
Surface roots
Roots that run across the lawn get cut out along with the stump. Crepe myrtle, Bradford pear, oak and magnolia roots are regular work.
A yard full of stumps
Jobs of 15, 30 and 35 stumps show up in the reviews. On big jobs two grinders run at the same time, and there is a multi-stump rate.
Cleanup
Grindings are raked out and the sidewalk or driveway is blown clean. If the spot needs to be ready for sod or seed, say so when you call.
