Complete Stump Removal — Below Grade, Clean, and Ready for What's Next
Professional grinding that leaves your site level and ready for sod, planting, or hardscape — not just a low stump.
Below-Grade Grinding Done Right
Surface stump grinding leaves a mound that settles unevenly and allows regrowth. We grind 6–12 inches below grade — past the root crown — ensuring the stump is fully removed and the site is ready for whatever comes next. Whether you're laying sod, planting a replacement tree, or installing hardscape, we leave the ground level and workable.
Generated wood chips can be spread as mulch on-site or removed entirely — your choice. We handle single stumps and high-volume commercial projects with the same attention to site cleanliness.
Stumps Are More Than an Eyesore
Safety Hazard
Exposed stumps are a trip and liability risk on commercial properties, HOA common areas, and residential lawns.
Pest Attraction
Rotting stumps attract termites, carpenter ants, and wood-boring beetles that can spread to nearby healthy trees and structures.
Regrowth Prevention
Proper below-grade grinding removes the root crown and prevents the vigorous stump sprouting that surface cuts leave behind.

I cannot give enough praise for the crew from Peak. Showed up on time and worked hard all day until the job was finished. Answered all my questions accurately. Left my property, clean and tidy. I would highly recommend Peak for your tree service.
