Below the surface
Stump Removal Without Digging Up the Yard
A stump left after a takedown is more than an eyesore. It's a trip hazard, something to mow around, and in some species it keeps throwing up suckers for years. Pulling it out with an excavator tears up the lawn; grinding takes it away without the crater.
A stump grinder chips the stump and its main surface roots down below ground level. The deeper we go, the easier it is to seed, lay sod or plant something new in the same spot.
Before any digging or grinding near buried lines, locates should be requested through Ontario One Call, which costs nothing. Grinding is often booked with a takedown, but old stumps on their own are fine too: call our Midland tree crew with how many you have and roughly how wide they are.
Your choice
Cleanup Options
Backfilled
Chips or topsoil go back into the hole so the spot is ready for seed.
Hauled away
Everything raked up and taken off the property.
Tight spots
Tree Stump Removal in Tight Spaces
Compact grinders fit through many backyard gates, so fenced yards are rarely a problem. Tell us your gate width when you call.
Stumps right against a foundation, fence post or driveway edge can be ground close, but not always flush, so we'll show you what's realistic at the estimate.
Large surface roots running across the lawn can be ground out along with the stump if you want a clean, level surface.

From Estimate to Level Ground
Most of the work is in the prep and the cleanup.

02
Locates
Buried lines are marked through Ontario One Call before the grinder goes in.

Chipping it down
The stump and main surface roots are chipped below ground level.
04
Rake-out
Chips are left, backfilled or hauled, and the area is raked level.
Costs
What It Usually Costs
Typical local prices, not a quote: stump grinding usually runs $150 to $500 per stump, based mainly on diameter. Several stumps on one visit can bring the per-stump price down.
Hardwood, big root flares and hard-to-reach spots add time. Estimates are free.
Common questions
Common Questions
How deep do you grind?
Deep enough to seed or lay sod over. If you're planting a tree or putting in a patio, tell us and we'll go deeper.
Will it grow back?
Grinding removes the stump and the main roots near the surface. A few species send up shoots from leftover roots for a season; they're easy to mow or pull.
Can you grind a stump left by someone else?
Yes. Old stumps from earlier takedowns are fine.
Do you work outside Midland?
Yes. We grind stumps in Midland, Penetanguishene, Tiny, Tay and the nearby towns.
