Stump Removal in Grand Junction, CO
Grinding Out Old Stumps So the Yard Is Yours Again
Cut down a cottonwood or a Siberian elm and you might think the job is done. Then the shoots start. Both trees are known for sprouting from their roots and stumps, and a stump left alone can put up a thicket of new growth by midsummer. Older stumps cause their own trouble: they rot, draw ants and beetles, catch mower blades, and sit right where you wanted a garden bed.

Why Stump Removal Matters
A leftover tree stump is more than an eyesore. As it decays, it can attract termites, ants, and other wood-boring insects, plus fungi that may spread to other plants. Many stumps keep sending up new shoots, which turns a single stump into constant maintenance. Our stump removal services take care of all of it.
Our Professional Stump Removal Process
We take pride in offering top-quality stump removal and stump grinding services. Our process is designed to be efficient, safe, and environmentally friendly. Here’s what you can expect:
- Assessment & Consultation: We begin by evaluating the stump’s size, location, and surrounding environment. This helps us determine the best approach for removal.
- Stump Grinding: One of the most effective methods we use is stump grinding. This involves using specialized machinery to grind the stump down to below ground level, ensuring that it won’t regrow.
- Complete Removal: For customers who prefer full stump removal, we can extract the entire stump, including the root system. This method is ideal for those looking to replant in the same area.
- Cleanup & Restoration: After removal, we clean up all debris, fill in the hole left behind, and leave your yard looking pristine. If desired, we can also provide topsoil and re-seeding services to restore the landscape.
Benefits of Professional Tree Stump Grinding

Grinding stops the new shoots that keep coming back from an old stump.
Stump Grinding or Complete Removal?
We offer two methods, and the right one depends on what you plan to do with the space.
Stump Grinding
Stump grinding in Grand Junction uses a machine with a rotating cutting wheel to chip the stump down below ground level so it won't regrow. It's fast, leaves the surrounding yard mostly undisturbed, and works for most lawns, beds, and patios. The wood chips can be raked into the hole or used as mulch.
Complete Stump Removal
For full tree stump removal, we extract the entire stump and root system. It's more work and disturbs more soil, but it's the better choice when you want to plant a new tree in the same spot or build over the area.
| Stump grinding | Complete removal | |
|---|---|---|
| What's removed | The stump, ground below ground level | The stump and root system |
| Soil disturbance | Low | Higher |
| Best for | Reseeding, mowing, new beds | Replanting a tree, building over the spot |

Frequently Asked Questions
What's the difference between stump grinding and stump removal?
Stump grinding chips the stump down below ground level and leaves most roots to decay. Stump removal pulls out the entire stump and root system.
Will a stump grow back after grinding?
Grinding below ground level removes the part of the stump that produces most new shoots. A few root sprouts can still appear from species like cottonwood and Siberian elm. Clip them as they show up, and they'll stop as the roots die back.
Can I plant a new tree where the stump was?
Yes, but complete removal is usually the better choice if you want a new tree in the same spot, since it clears out the old root system.
Do you fill the hole and reseed?
Yes. We fill the hole after grinding or removal, and we can add topsoil and reseed if you'd like.
Can you grind a stump left from an old tree removal?
Yes. We remove stumps whether the tree came down last week or years ago.
