Stump Grinding and Removal in Johns Creek, GA
Ground out below grade so you can sod, replant or just stop mowing around it. Utilities located first, grindings raked back or hauled off, your call.
Ground properly the first time
Because a stump ground two inches down is a stump you will be looking at again next spring. Grass will not knit over a shallow grind, and the root flare left behind keeps heaving as it rots. We take it eight to twelve inches below grade as standard.
Locates called first
811 before the wheel spins. Irrigation and low-voltage runs are thick in these yards.
Eight to twelve inches down
Deep enough to sod over. Deeper if you are replanting in the same spot.
Surface roots taken too
The runners that lift turf and crack edging, not just the visible stump.
Grindings your way
Raked back into the hole and topped with soil, or hauled off. Say which.
How the grind goes
Half a day for most residential stumps, often much less.
Measure and locate
Diameter across the cut face at ground level, then utility locates called in and the marks left to sit.
Clear the face
Soil, gravel and mulch scraped back off the stump. Grit in the wheel is what kills teeth, and that cost lands in somebody's price.
Grind below grade
Wheel worked across the stump and out along the major surface roots, taken eight to twelve inches under the surface.
Fill or haul
Grindings pushed back in and topped with soil, or loaded out if you want clean fill for planting.
Stump grinding, in numbers
Why stumps are worse than they look in Johns Creek yards
Red clay is the reason. Clay holds water against a decaying stump instead of draining past it, so the rot runs slow and the ground above keeps settling for years afterwards. Pine stumps in particular hold their shape long after the wood has gone soft, which is how a lawn ends up with a soft spot that swallows a mower wheel. Termites are the other reason people stop waiting it out, since a softening pine stump within reach of the house is an invitation. We grind stumps and surface roots, and we can replant or sod straight over the result.
