Stump Removal Services | Expert Stump Removal by the Professionals

 At Compton’s Tree Service Inc., we provide professional stump removal and stump grinding services to completely eliminate unwanted stumps from your property. Whether a tree was recently removed or you have old stumps creating an eyesore, our expert team uses advanced equipment and industry-best techniques to remove stumps efficiently, restoring your landscape to a clean, usable space. 

Why Remove a Tree Stump?

 Leaving a tree stump in your yard can lead to a number of problems. First, stumps pose a safety hazard, creating tripping risks for children, pets, and visitors. As they decay, they also attract pests such as termites, ants, and beetles, which can spread to nearby healthy trees or even your home. The decaying wood can foster fungal growth and disease, which may spread to other plants or trees in your landscape. In addition to these issues, stumps can detract from the appearance of your property, making your yard look unkempt and reducing its curb appeal. They also take up valuable space, hindering the ability to plant new trees, expand your lawn, or create new landscaping features. Removing the stump not only improves the safety and aesthetics of your yard but also helps prevent these ongoing problems.

Stump Grinding

Full Stump Extraction

Full Stump Extraction

 Our most common and efficient method, stump grinding involves using a high-powered stump grinder to shred the stump into wood chips. This method:


  • Grinds the stump down several inches below the soil surface.


  • Leaves behind mulch that can be repurposed for landscaping.


  • Allows for immediate replanting or grass regrowth.


  • Is the fastest and most cost-effective stump removal option

 For stumps with large root systems or when complete removal is necessary for construction or replanting, we offer full stump extraction, which includes:


  • Digging out the entire stump along with its root ball.


  • Removing major root systems to prevent regrowth.


  • Preparing the site for landscaping, replanting, or building.


This method is ideal when installing new trees, patios, driveways, or other landscaping features.

 At Compton’s Tree Service Inc., our job doesn’t end with removing the stump—we offer a ground restoration service to ensure your landscape is fully restored. After the stump is removed, we fill the hole with high-quality topsoil to level the ground, ensuring a smooth and even surface. We then compact the soil to prevent settling and provide a stable foundation for future landscaping. If desired, we can seed the area with grass to promote natural regrowth, helping your lawn blend seamlessly with the surrounding landscape. Our goal is to leave your yard looking clean, level, and ready for new plantings or outdoor use. With our expert restoration process, you won’t even be able to tell a stump was ever there! 

Our Tree Removal Process

Step 1: Site Assessment

Step 2: Selecting the Right Method of Removal

Step 2: Selecting the Right Method of Removal

 Before we begin, we carefully evaluate the stump and surrounding area. Our team considers:


  • The size and age of the stump to determine the best method for removal.


  • The root structure to assess how deeply the roots have spread and how extensive the root removal will need to be.


  • The proximity of the stump to structures, sidewalks, driveways, power lines, and underground utilities.


  • The overall condition of the tree stump, such as whether it’s rotting, which could influence the removal process.
    This assessment allows us to determine the most efficient and effective method, whether it's stump grinding, full extraction, or root removal.

Step 2: Selecting the Right Method of Removal

 Based on our assessment, we choose the best approach for stump removal:


  • Stump Grinding – This is the preferred method for most homeowners, as it is quick, cost-effective, and minimally invasive. We use powerful stump grinders to chip away at the stump until it is ground down to a few inches below the soil line.


  • Full Stump Extraction – For situations requiring complete removal, we dig out the stump along with its root system. This method is more labor-intensive but ideal for those needing to prepare the area for new planting, construction, or landscaping.


  • Surface Root Removal – Sometimes, stumps have large surface roots that extend across your lawn, obstructing grass growth or making mowing difficult. We carefully cut and remove these surface roots to level the ground and restore your landscape.

 It's now time to remove the stump. 


  • Stump Grinding: Once we have selected the right method, we begin by grinding the stump down to several inches below the ground level, using a high-powered stump grinder. This grinder shreds the stump into small wood chips, which we can either leave behind as mulch or remove. We continue grinding until the stump is completely removed and the area is level with the surrounding soil. This process typically takes just a few hours, depending on the size of the stump.


  • Full Extraction: For full extraction, we begin by digging around the stump and carefully exposing the root system. We then use specialized tools to extract the stump and its roots from the ground, often requiring machinery to pull out the larger roots. This process may take longer, especially for older trees with deep root systems, but it ensures the entire stump and root system are removed, preventing regrowth.

Step 4: Cleanup & Restoration

Step 2: Selecting the Right Method of Removal

Step 3: Stump Removal Execution

 Once the stump is removed, we focus on restoring the area and ensuring your yard looks as good as new:


  • Filling the Hole: After stump grinding or extraction, we fill the remaining hole with topsoil or mulch to ensure the ground is level with the rest of your yard. This helps promote new growth if you intend to replant or install landscaping.


  • Raking and Debris Removal: We meticulously clean the area, raking up wood chips, sawdust, and any other debris. All remnants of the stump and roots are disposed of properly, leaving your yard neat and tidy.


  • Replanting or Seeding: If you'd like to replant or sow grass over the area, we can provide replanting services or recommend suitable grass seed to encourage healthy regrowth.
