Stump grinding and removal turns a leftover Kingsway stump into a shallow bed of chips, ready for sod, a shrub or new flagstone. The work is fully insured, and each quote tells you how deep we will grind and what happens to the chips.
A grinder uses a spinning wheel with hard teeth to chew the stump into small chips. The wheel takes the stump itself plus the thick root flare spreading out from it. The hole is filled with the chips or with topsoil, and the area is raked level.
Many Kingsway yards have tight side gates, stone steps and old flower beds. We bring a narrow grinder that fits through a standard gate and protect the lawn with boards on the way in and out.
Around Toronto, one stump commonly lands between $200 and $600 to grind. Very wide stumps or ones close to a wall may cost more. The number is on paper first.
Normally we take it 6 to 12 inches under the surface. Fresh sod or a small shrub roots fine in that. Planning a patio or a replacement tree right there? Ask and the grinder goes further down.
Yes, with care. We slow down near the wall, grind by hand around the edges and stop before the teeth reach stone. Roots that run under the wall are left in place so it is not undermined.
Some trees, like willows and some maples, can send up shoots after grinding. It does not happen often. If it does, we come back and grind a little deeper.
Chips can backfill the hole, get spread under shrubs, or ride away in our truck. Many people keep some chips for their flower beds. Just let us know what you prefer.
An old stump is easy to trip on and hard to mow around, and a grinder takes care of it in an hour or two. Stumps get priced one by one, so dial (647) 370-3513 or upload a picture using our main page form. We price each stump in writing.
Most tree problems link to one another, so these services often go together on one visit.
