STUMP GRINDING

Professional Stump Grinding in San Diego County

A leftover stump is more than ugly, it’s a trip hazard, a home for termites and fungus, and it can sprout new shoots. We grind stumps several inches below grade so you can replant, re-sod, or pave over them. Quick, affordable, and we rake up the grindings when we’re done.

Why Grind That Stump?

  • It’s a trip hazard in the yard
  • Attracts termites, ants, and fungus
  • Sprouting new shoots or suckers
  • In the way of new landscaping or hardscape
  • An eyesore hurting your curb appeal
  • Left behind from a previous removal

“I was referred to ArborSD tree service by a neighbor who had used them before. They showed up on time with a crew and even brought a certified arborist to the job to supervise the project. I appreciated their communication, responsiveness, proper pruning cuts, and reasonable price.”
