Stump Grinding in Yonkers, NY
Get rid of that stump for good. Fast, clean, and ready for replanting or sod the same day.
What Is Stump Grinding?
Stump grinding uses a high-powered cutting wheel to chip the stump and major roots down below grade. Unlike full stump removal (which involves excavating the root ball), grinding is faster, less invasive, leaves your yard intact, and costs a fraction of the price.
For nearly every residential situation in Yonkers, grinding is the right answer. The chips can be left as mulch, used to backfill the hole, or hauled away.

Signs You Need Stump Grinding
Trip and mower hazard
A stump in the lawn is a constant risk for kids, pets, and your mower blade.
Sprouting from the stump
Many species send up sucker shoots that turn into a weed-tree thicket if not ground out.
Termite or carpenter ant attraction
Rotting stumps draw wood-boring pests that can spread to your home or other healthy trees.
Lost yard space
A stump prevents replanting, hardscaping, or making the lawn whole again.
Our Grinding Process
- 1
Walk the site
We confirm access, mark utilities (Dig Safely NY 811 call placed if needed), and discuss desired grind depth.
- 2
Grind the stump
Our grinder reduces the stump to chips below ground level — typically 6–12 inches deep, deeper on request.
- 3
Address surface roots
For surface roots radiating from the stump, we can grind those down too so the area is fully replant-ready.

Cleanup & backfill
Chips backfilled into the hole (great mulch) or hauled away — your choice. Topsoil and seed available for an extra fee.
