Our Stump Grinding Process

01

Professional Assessment

Our certified arborists will evaluate the stump's size, location, and surrounding area to determine the best approach for grinding or removal.

02

On-Site
Evaluation

We carefully prepare the area around the stump, ensuring the safety of your property and our team, while also minimizing disturbance to the lawn and surrounding landscape.

03

Efficient Grinding

Using our advanced equipment, we grind the stump to approximately 6-8 inches below ground level.

04

Thorough Cleanup

We don't just grind and go. Our team rakes up all woodchips and debris and fills the hole left by the tree, leaving your yard tidy and level. If you prefer, we can also assist by removing most of the woodchips, laying top soil and seeding grass.

05

Eco-Friendly Disposal

All wood chips are recycled, usually as mulch, aligning with our commitment to environmental stewardship. You can also keep the wood chips onsite if you would prefer to use them as mulch.

Understating Local Regulations 

When grinding stumps in the Michiana area, it’s important to be aware of local permitting and regulations. While many residential properties do not require permits for stump grinding, certain neighborhoods, especially those with homeowner associations or historical designations, may have specific guidelines or restrictions.

Additionally, if the stump grinding is part of a larger tree removal project, permits might be required depending on the size and location of the trees. Higher Ground Tree Care is familiar with local regulations and can help guide you through any necessary permitting processes to ensure your project is compliant and hassle-free.

Utility Lines: Always confirm the location of underground utility lines before grinding or removing a stump.
