Got an old stump taking up space in your yard? TreeTec offers fast, professional stump grinding services throughout the West Metro, including Minnetonka, Wayzata, Plymouth, and beyond. Whether it’s the leftover base of a recently removed tree or a stump that’s been around for years, we’ll eliminate it cleanly and efficiently—leaving your yard safer, neater, and easier to maintain.

Why Remove a Stump?

Tree stumps might seem harmless, but they create a variety of problems for homeowners and property managers:

  • Tripping Hazards
    Especially dangerous for kids, pets, and lawn equipment.

  • Insect & Pest Attraction
    Decaying wood invites termites, carpenter ants, and other unwanted pests.

  • Lawn Maintenance Issues
    Mowing and landscaping around stumps is inconvenient and time-consuming.

  • Unwanted Regrowth
    Some species will sprout new shoots from the remaining stump, creating ongoing problems.

Stump grinding is the most effective way to eliminate these issues without damaging the surrounding yard.

What’s Included in Our Stump Grinding Service?

TreeTec takes care of the entire process with minimal disruption to your property. Here’s what to expect:

  • On-Site Inspection
    We evaluate the stump’s size, location, and depth requirements to determine the best approach.

  • Grinding Below Ground Level
    We grind the stump 4–6 inches below grade to prevent regrowth and allow for replanting or landscaping.

  • Mulch Management
    We can haul away the grindings or leave them for use in your garden, beds, or mulch rings.

  • Optional Backfilling and Lawn Restoration
    Upon request, we can backfill the hole and even help with reseeding or patching the area.

Whether you’re dealing with one small stump or a cluster of large ones on a commercial site, we have the equipment and experience to get it done right.
