Professional Stump Grinding in Harrisburg, PA

After a tree is removed, the stump that remains is more than an eyesore. It is a tripping hazard, a magnet for termites and carpenter ants, and an obstacle that prevents you from mowing, landscaping, or building on that part of your property. Tree Professionals of Harrisburg provides fast, thorough stump grinding to eliminate these problems and give you back your yard.

Stump grinding is the most efficient and least disruptive method of stump removal. We use a commercial-grade stump grinder equipped with a high-speed carbide-tipped cutting wheel that chips the stump and its major surface roots into small wood shavings. The grinder works the stump down to six to twelve inches below grade, depending on your plans for the area. If you intend to plant grass, six inches below grade is typically sufficient. If you plan to plant a new tree or install a structure, we can grind deeper to ensure no wood remains in the way.

The wood chips produced during grinding are clean and make excellent mulch. We can spread the chips back into the hole to fill the void and let them decompose naturally, or we can haul them away and backfill with topsoil if you prefer a finished surface ready for seeding or sod. Either way, we leave the area level, clean, and free of debris.

Our stump grinders are compact enough to access tight spaces between fences, gardens, and structures, and powerful enough to handle stumps of any diameter, including large hardwoods like oaks and maples that are common throughout the Harrisburg area. We grind stumps from trees we have removed as well as old stumps left behind by previous owners or other companies.

Stump grinding is typically a same-day job. Most residential stumps take thirty minutes to two hours depending on size and root spread. We can often grind multiple stumps in a single visit at a reduced per-stump rate.
