Stump removal eliminates the remaining trunk base after a tree has been cut down. Methods include stump grinding, which chips the stump below grade and fills the hole with wood chips, and forestry mulching, which grinds the entire stump flush with the surrounding ground. Both prevent regrowth and clear the area for mowing or building.

What We Do

About Tree Stump Removal

That stump in your yard is not just ugly — it is in the way. You cannot mow over it, you cannot build on it, and every year the root suckers come back thicker. Stump grinding takes care of it in a couple of hours and leaves the spot ready for grass, gravel, or whatever comes next.

We grind stumps across central Wisconsin from our base in Oxford. Whether you have one stump left from a tree that came down last winter or thirty stumps on a freshly cleared lot, we bring the right size grinder for the job and leave a clean, level surface behind.

Stump grinding and removal for single stumps, whole-yard cleanups, and post-clearing sites across 8 counties in central Wisconsin.

Tree Stump Removal - How stump grinding works in central Wisconsin

How stump grinding works

The grinder uses a spinning carbide-tipped wheel that chews through the stump and surface roots in passes, lowering the cutting depth a few inches at a time. We work the stump down to 8-12 inches below grade, then sweep the chips back into the hole and mound them slightly above the surrounding surface.

The whole area gets raked clean. Within a few weeks the mound settles level and you can seed grass, lay sod, or cover it with gravel. The spot where the stump was becomes usable ground again.

Tree Stump Removal - What it costs in central Wisconsin

What it costs

Stump grinding costs depend on diameter, root spread, and site access. Smaller stumps in open areas cost less than large stumps with heavy surface roots. Multi-stump jobs get better per-stump pricing — a yard with ten stumps costs less per stump than individual pricing.

When stump grinding is added to a tree removal job, the pricing is even better because the equipment is already on-site. We quote everything upfront with a flat project price after a free on-site estimate.

Compare Methods

Stump grinding vs. full stump extraction

Stump grinding removes the visible stump and surface roots to a depth of 8-12 inches below grade. The deeper root system stays in the ground and decomposes naturally over several years. This is the right approach for lawns, landscaping, and most yard situations.

Full stump extraction means pulling the entire root ball out of the ground with an excavator. It leaves a large hole, tears up the surrounding turf, and costs significantly more. Extraction makes sense when you are pouring a foundation, installing a septic system, or doing site grading where subsurface roots could cause settling issues later.

For the vast majority of residential stump jobs in central Wisconsin, grinding is the faster, cheaper, and less disruptive option. We will tell you if your situation calls for extraction instead.

Tree Stump Removal - Whole-site stump grinding after land clearing in central Wisconsin

Whole-site stump grinding after land clearing

If you just had a lot cleared for a new build, cabin, or pasture, there are probably dozens of stumps left behind. We handle whole-site grinding as a follow-up to clearing work — ours or anyone else's. The volume pricing makes it practical to get every stump ground rather than working around them for years.

For building sites, we grind stumps within the construction footprint below grade so they will not interfere with excavation. For pasture and lawn areas, standard depth is fine. We can do the entire property in one mobilization.

Tree Stump Removal - Legacy stumps and yard cleanups in central Wisconsin

Legacy stumps and yard cleanups

Plenty of properties across Marquette, Adams, and Waushara counties have stumps that have been sitting there for years — left behind by a previous owner, a storm, or a past clearing job. These old stumps are still tripping hazards, still getting in the way of the mower, and still sending up root suckers every spring.

Old stumps grind just as well as fresh ones. Sometimes faster, because the wood has had time to soften. If you have been meaning to deal with that stump in the backyard for three years, one phone call gets it handled.
