About Our Stump Grinding & Removal Service in Westchester
After a tree comes down, the stump doesn't have to stay. Westchester Tree Pros grinds stumps below grade to prepare the area for grass, landscaping, or new plantings, and offers full stump and root removal for larger clearing projects. We call in 811 utility markouts before we grind, backfill with mulch, and leave the site ready for its next use.
What's Included in Every Stump Grinding & Removal Job
- Below-grade mechanical stump grinding
- Full stump and root removal for clearing projects
- 811 Dig Safely New York utility markouts
- Mulch backfill and site restoration
- Per-stump and multi-stump pricing
Two Options: Grind or Fully Remove
Most homeowners choose grinding — it’s faster, cheaper, and less disruptive. Full removal (stump plus root system) is required for new construction, foundations, and replanting in the same spot.
Grinding vs. Full Removal
- Grinding: Below-grade, mulch backfill, minimal disruption, and cost-effective. Roots stay and decay over time.
- Full removal: Excavator lifts stump and root ball completely. Larger disruption, more expensive, required for buildable ground.
Both come with itemized quotes and cleanup included. See our guide on grinding vs. full removal for a deeper comparison.
Multi-Stump Pricing
If you have three or more stumps, we discount the per-stump rate. Common bundling: after a large tree removal or as part of land clearing.
After Grinding
The area needs light restoration — usually removing excess grindings, adding topsoil, and seeding grass. Some settling is normal as grindings decompose. See what happens to the ground after stump grinding for details.
