Old tree stumps are more than ugly — they attract termites, create tripping hazards, and make mowing difficult. JDS Tree Service grinds stumps below grade quickly and affordably, restoring the full use and appearance of your yard. We serve Chicago, the south suburbs, and Northwest Indiana.
Our industrial stump grinders remove stumps 6-8 inches below the soil surface, eliminating regrowth and allowing you to plant grass, install a patio, or use the space however you choose.
We grind stumps of all sizes — from small ornamental tree stumps to massive hardwood stumps 3+ feet in diameter. The grinding process produces wood chips that we can use to fill the hole, or we'll haul everything away for a clean finish.
Stump grinding is much faster and more affordable than full stump excavation. Most residential stumps are ground in 30-60 minutes with minimal disruption to your lawn.
Stump grinding is a separate service and is quoted separately from tree removal. However, we'll always give you a clear, itemized estimate upfront that includes stump grinding if you want it.
We grind stumps 6-8 inches below the soil surface. This prevents regrowth and allows you to cover the area with topsoil and grass seed.
