Stump Grinding Toronto — Free Quotes from Local Pros

After a tree is removed, the remaining stump can be an eyesore, a tripping hazard, and an obstacle to landscaping. Professional stump grinding in Toronto uses specialized equipment to grind the stump down to 6-12 inches below ground level, allowing you to cover the area with soil and grass seed. Stump grinding is different from stump removal — grinding pulverizes the stump in place, while removal involves digging out the entire root ball.

Grinding is faster, less expensive, and causes minimal disturbance to your surrounding landscape. Most Toronto stump grinding companies can handle stumps of any size, from small ornamental tree stumps to large hardwood stumps several feet in diameter. The process typically takes 30 minutes to 2 hours per stump depending on size and wood hardness.

The ground-up wood chips can be left as mulch or removed at your preference. Some companies offer discounts for multiple stumps, so if you have several to remove, it is worth getting a quote for all of them at once.
