A stump left behind in the lawn
Our grinder spins a toothed wheel through the stump and its biggest roots, turning them to chips below the level of the grass. Afterward the spot is ready for topsoil and seed, sod, or a new tree.
Our grinders fit through most side gates. We fill the hole with the chips or take them away, whichever you choose.
When to grind a stump
- A stump is in the way of mowing or a new patio
- Shoots keep sprouting from the stump or the roots
- Ants or fungus are moving into the old wood
- You want to plant a replacement tree nearby
- An old stump is a tripping hazard in the lawn
What we do on a stump job
- Check for buried gas, cable and irrigation lines first
- Set up the grinder and screen off the work area
- Grind the stump and surface roots below grade
- Fill the hole with chips, or rake it out for soil
- Clean up and haul away extra chips
What it costs
Most stumps grind for between $150 and $450. Width and the path to it set the figure, and each added stump on one trip is cheaper than the first. The written quote holds.

Lorne Park yards often hide stumps from trees taken down years ago. Old oak and maple stumps stay hard for a long time. Grinding them opens room for the native tree Mississauga requires after a removal.
Questions about stump grinding and removal
How deep do you grind?
Our standard is 15 to 20 cm under the lawn surface. Planning a tree there? Ask and we go further down.
Do you remove the roots too?
The grinder takes the stump and the thick roots near the surface. Roots deeper down rot away over a few years.
Can I plant a new tree in the same spot?
Shift it a metre or two over. Soil packed with fresh chips starves a young tree.
Will the ground sink later?
A little, as the chips rot. Add topsoil after one season to keep the lawn flat.
If the tree is still standing, tree removal comes first. Other services are on the Lorne Park Tree Service home page.
