Our Process
We use professional-grade stump grinders to grind the stump 6-12 inches below the soil surface. This ensures no regrowth and allows you to plant grass, a garden, or even a new tree in the same spot. We clean up all wood chips and can backfill the hole with topsoil so your yard looks great immediately.
Common Situations We Handle
The most common stump removal requests in Anne Arundel County come from homeowners who had a tree removed and want to reclaim the yard space, property owners preparing to install a fence or patio where a stump sits, people tired of mowing around old stumps, and homeowners who've noticed termites or carpenter ants colonizing a decaying stump near their home's foundation. We also handle commercial stump removal for property managers and HOAs.

Frequently Asked Questions
How much does stump grinding cost in Annapolis?
Stump grinding in Annapolis costs between $100 and $500 per stump based on size. Most residential stumps cost $150 to $300. We offer multi-stump discounts of 25-50% per additional stump on the same property.
How deep do you grind stumps?
We grind stumps 6-12 inches below the soil surface. This is deep enough to prevent regrowth, allow you to plant grass or a garden over the area, and eliminate the stump as a pest attractant.
Can I plant a new tree where the stump was?
Yes. After grinding, we remove the wood chips and can backfill with topsoil. You can plant a new tree in or near the same spot. We recommend planting the new tree at least 3 feet from the center of the old stump location.
Do old stumps attract termites?
Yes. Decaying wood stumps are a magnet for termites, carpenter ants, and other wood-boring insects. If the stump is near your home's foundation, these pests can eventually find their way into your house. Removing the stump eliminates this risk.
