Stumps Gone, Space Reclaimed
Professional Stump Grinding in the Twin Cities
A tree stump is more than unsightly—it's a tripping hazard, an obstacle for landscaping, and can sprout new growth for years. Holtz Tree Service removes stumps completely using professional grinding equipment that pulverizes the stump below ground level. Whether you're reclaiming yard space, preparing for new landscaping, or clearing land for construction, stump grinding creates a clean slate for your property.

Our Stump Grinding Process
Stump Assessment
We evaluate the stump's size, location, wood type, and whether remaining roots will interfere. We check for underground utilities and plan equipment placement.
Equipment Setup
We position our specialized grinding equipment safely, protecting nearby structures, landscaping, and utilities. We mark any underground infrastructure.
Professional Grinding
Our operator grinds the stump below ground level (typically 8-12 inches deep), pulverizing the stump into sawdust and wood chips. We methodically grind the entire stump including lateral roots.
Site Grading and Fill
We fill the grinding area with topsoil or wood chips to create a level surface ready for replanting, landscaping, or whatever you envision.
Final Cleanup
We remove all equipment, restore your landscape to its original condition, and leave your yard ready for its next chapter.
Frequently Asked Questions
We typically grind stumps 8-12 inches below ground level, which eliminates the visible stump and most of the root system. This allows replanting or landscaping directly over the ground. Deeper grinding is possible for additional cost if you have specific needs.
