Removing a tree usually leaves a stump behind — and a stump is more than an eyesore. In Brantford yards it gets in the way of mowing, sprouts suckers, attracts carpenter ants and termites, and blocks replanting or new fencing. Grinding is the clean fix: a machine chips the stump and major roots several inches below grade so you can reclaim the space. We connect you with local crews that grind single stumps or clear a whole lot.

- Old, hardened stumps that have been there for years
- Multiple stumps from a cleared yard or fence line

Stump Grinding FAQ
How much does stump grinding cost in Brantford?
Typically $100–$600 per stump by diameter, with discounts for multiple stumps in one visit. Most crews have a minimum charge, so doing several at once is best value.
How deep is a stump ground?
Usually 4–6 inches below grade — enough to plant grass or garden over. If you're replanting a tree or building on the spot, ask for a deeper grind.
Do you remove the wood chips?
That's up to you. Many homeowners keep the grindings as mulch; otherwise the crew can haul them away and backfill with topsoil for an added charge.
Can you grind stumps in a tight backyard?
Usually yes. Many grinders fit through a standard gate. Let the crew know about gate width, slopes and steps so they bring the right machine.
