Stump grinding for a
cleaner, safer yard.

Crew cutting a removed tree trunk into logs on a lawn

A stump left behind after a tree removal can be more than an eyesore. Stumps get in the way of mowing, create a tripping hazard and take up space you could be using for lawn, garden beds or a new tree.

Stump grinding is a practical way to get rid of a stump. A grinder cuts the stump down below the surface of the soil, removing the part you see without the large hole that digging out the whole stump would create.

The JPS difference

Why stump grinding
is worth it.

Leaving a stump in place may seem easier, but it can cause problems over time. Grinding it down gives you back usable space and makes your yard easier and safer to care for.

01

Easier mowing

With the stump ground below the surface, you can mow right over the area without working around it or damaging your mower.


02

A safer yard

Stumps are easy to trip over, especially for kids and guests. Removing them makes your yard safer to walk and play in.


03

Room to replant

Once the stump is gone, the area can be filled in and used for new grass, a garden bed or another tree.


04

Fewer pests

Old, rotting stumps can attract insects like carpenter ants and termites. Grinding the stump down removes that food source.


Simple from start to finish

John and his team were fantastic! I had two normal oak trees taken down as well as one massive oak tree that sprawled completely over my house, and I had received 8+ quotes for the job ranging in equipment and cost, but John was the most reasonable, fair, and used the least invasive equipment. He was very good at communicating, drawing up contracts, as well as doing the work very efficiently. I was out of town for a large portion of the work, but John sent me updates as well as completed the work in a timely fashion. The only reason for 4/5 stars was the hydraulic fluid and gasoline that found its way onto my blacktop driveway, I would have preferred having them put cardboard down under the chipper and fuel their chainsaws in the grass. I will have cardboard on hand next time! Very minimal yard damage from the tree falling and moving, and an excellent cleanup job! Will be using JPS in the future for all my tree cutting needs! Would recommend to anyone!!

I had a great experience with this tree service. John was very friendly, genuine, and polite from the beginning. I was initially concerned about the typically high cost of tree services, but John offered a more reasonable price than other companies I contacted. He was able to do the job the very next day, and the work was fast, clean, and well done. I felt very comfortable working with him and appreciated how respectful and honest he was throughout the process. I would definitely recommend John to anyone who needs tree services!

John and his team did an excellent job trimming my hedges which span the perimeter of the property and are greater than 10’ in height. His estimate was very reasonable and he did the job in a timely manner. John is great to work with and I highly recommend him! Great job!

JPS removed a very large, rotting tree that was endangering the house. They were prompt, formal, and answered all of our questions. Price was reasonable and the finished work was perfect. We will be calling for another tree in the future!

I couldn’t be more happy with the work that John and his crew did. His price was far lower than the other quotes I received. He completed the work within three days of the quote and he and his crew did an excellent job of quickly removing 2 trees and large branches on another tree. The cleanup work on my property and my neighbor’s property was incredible. My neighbor commented that there was wasn’t a leaf or a twig left. If you need tree work, you should definitely contact John.

Superb service once again from JPS Tree Services!! I had a huge limb come down in my yard just after I left for work yesterday. Limb took out all power lines to both properties on my lot and neighbors. There were live power lines in driveway and pole leaning over. I called John in a panic and he immediately said he would take care of this emergency situation for me and did! I have a housebound elderly person at home who could not get out and restoration of power was needed asap due to the 100 degree heat. John told me no problem, I will take care of it and he did. One phone call, no fuss, no issues, just came to my home and got the job done. Not a single leaf left behind. I have a job where it is very difficult to accept phone calls and communicate during the day. I didn’t have to worry AT ALL. One phone call with John and the job is taken care of professionally and completely. I can’t thank you enough JPS for giving me peace of mind when I could not be there. This is the second job he has done for me and I HIGHLY RECOMMEND. On a side note - DEAN GAUDET I see your review from yesterday and I believe you have the wrong company? JPS was at my home in Cromwell on 7/1 and Eversource, Frontier, Go Net speed all had trucks on the street in addition to JPS which did the work in my driveway and yard not on the street. Also there is a parallel road to the neighborhood even if the road was blocked allowing easy in and out by multiple paths. It also was an emergency situation with the need to restore power to the affected homes in the neighborhood in the extreme heat. Thank you!

Done the right way

Before we grind
your stump.

Stump grinding works below the surface, so it helps to know what is underground. Let us know about sprinkler lines, buried wiring, irrigation or anything else near the stump, and keep children and pets away from the area while we work.

Point out sprinkler lines

Note any buried wiring

Keep the area clear

Stump grinding
questions.

Answers to common questions about grinding stumps on your property.

What is the difference between stump grinding and stump removal?

Stump grinding cuts the stump down below the surface of the soil, leaving the roots to break down naturally underground. Full stump removal pulls out the stump and roots, which leaves a large hole and does more damage to your yard.

Will the stump grow back after grinding?

In most cases, no. Once the stump is ground down, most trees will not regrow. Some species can send up shoots from the remaining roots, and those can usually be cut back as they appear.

Can I plant where a stump was ground?

Yes. After grinding, the area can be filled with soil and used for grass, flowers or a garden bed. If you want to plant a new tree, it is usually best to choose a spot a few feet away from the old stump.

How much does stump grinding cost?

The cost depends mainly on the size of the stump, how many stumps there are and how easy they are to reach. We provide a free estimate so you know the price before any work begins.

Is stump grinding hard on my lawn?

Stump grinding is far less disruptive than digging a stump out. The work is focused on the stump itself, and we clean up the area when we are done so the rest of your lawn stays in good shape.
