Stump Grinding
A leftover stump is an eyesore, a trip hazard, a mowing obstacle, and an invitation to termites and regrowth. We grind stumps of any size below grade across the Wichita area so you can sod, replant, or just get your yard back.
Whether it’s left from one of our removals or a stump that’s been sitting for years, we grind it out and clean up the grindings, leaving the area ready for whatever’s next.
A leftover stump is more than an eyesore — it’s a mowing obstacle, a trip hazard, and an open invitation to termites and regrowth. In Wichita, many of the stumps we grind are the remains of exactly the trees the area was planted with: big cottonwood and silver maple stumps from removals, and the tough Osage orange and Siberian elm stumps left from old farmstead hedgerows and shelterbelts around the county’s edges.
Those older species are dense and stubborn, which is why we grind rather than dig — taking the stump and surface roots below grade so you can sod, replant, or pour over the spot. We clean up the grindings or leave them as mulch, and we can get equipment into tight backyard spaces that a bigger machine can’t reach.
Stump grinding pairs naturally with a tree removal — grinding the stump at the same visit saves a second trip and finishes the job.
Typically four to six inches below grade — enough that you can rake in soil and lay sod or seed over the spot and never know it was there. If you’re planning to replant a tree in the same location or pour concrete over it, we grind deeper to clear the root mass and give you workable ground. We can also grind the surface roots that radiate out from the stump, which are often the real tripping and mowing nuisance. You choose whether we haul off the grindings or leave them as mulch. Call (316) 330-9524 and tell us what the spot’s going to become and we’ll grind accordingly.
Yes — even the dense, stubborn stumps that give Wichita-area properties trouble, like old Osage orange (hedge), Siberian elm, and long-dead hardwoods on acreage. Age makes the wood harder, not un-grindable; it just takes the right machine and a bit more time than a fresh, soft stump. Grinding beats trying to dig one of these out — the root systems on old shelterbelt and hedgerow trees are enormous — and it beats burning, which is slow, smoky, and often restricted. We bring a grinder sized to the stump and the access, take it below grade, and clean up so the ground is ready for whatever’s next.
Stump grinding in Wichita is typically priced by the stump's diameter, often in the range of $100 to $400 per stump, with per-stump discounts when we grind several in one visit. The size and species matter — a big cottonwood or a dense old Osage orange stump takes more time than a small softwood — as does access to the stump and whether you want the surface roots ground too. Grinding one left from our own removal at the same visit saves a second trip and is the most economical way to do it. Call (316) 330-9524 for a quick quote.
