Stump Grinding & Removal in Huntsville, AL
Professional stump grinding that gets rid of eyesores, prevents termites, and opens up your yard for new grass, landscaping, or construction.
Why Grind a Stump?
A leftover stump isn't just ugly — it's a magnet for carpenter ants, termites, and fungi. It also blocks mower paths, sprinkler lines, and any replanting. Grinding removes the problem below grade so you can seed grass, replant, or build.
How Stump Grinding Works
- We survey the stump and surrounding area for utilities, sprinklers, and hardscape.
- Our grinder (up to 70 hp for large stumps) chips the wood 6–12 inches below grade.
- Major surface roots get ground back too — not always possible with DIY rentals.
- You choose: leave the grindings to fill the hole, or we haul them off and bring in topsoil.
Stump Grinding Cost in Huntsville
Most residential stumps run $100–$350, depending on diameter and access. Very large stumps (40"+) or stumps requiring crane access can run higher. We offer discounted combined pricing when bundled with a tree removal.
