Stump Grinding

We grind the stump down below ground level with specialized equipment. The roots stay in the ground and break down naturally over time, which is why grinding is the faster, more affordable option when you just want the stump gone.

Stump Removal

We dig out the entire stump and root system, leaving a clean, level hole we fill in. This is the better choice when you're planning to plant a new tree, put in a patio, or build something in that exact spot.

Tree Cabling

For trees with multiple trunks, heavy limbs, or storm-stress history, we install steel cables and support hardware high in the canopy to reduce the flex that leads to splitting. It's a preventive step that can add years to a tree you don't want to lose.
