We provide fast, efficient stump grinding and root removal services throughout Tacoma and Pierce County. Using specialized, narrow-access equipment, we grind tree stumps well below ground level without tearing up your lawn or surrounding landscaping.

Stump Grinding and Removal Services

What Stump Grinding Services Do We Offer?

Our stump removal service features deep stump grinding 6 to 12 inches below the surface, allowing you to lay sod, plant flowers, or install hardscaping directly over the area.

We also perform surface root chasing to eliminate unsightly roots spreading across your lawn or lifting concrete driveways and sidewalks.

Our specialized track-mounted grinders easily pass through standard 36-inch backyard gates to access tight residential yards, and we offer flexible mulch management by either leaving the ground wood chips for garden use or hauling all debris away and backfilling the hole with fresh topsoil.

Why Should You Remove Old Tree Stumps?

Removing old tree stumps is essential for pest control, as decaying wood attracts carpenter ants, termites, and wood-rot pathogens close to your home.

It also prioritizes safety by eliminating dangerous tripping hazards for children, pets, and yard work while protecting lawn maintenance equipment from costly blade and wheel damage.

Ultimately, getting rid of stumps lets you reclaim your outdoor space for new gardens, patios, sheds, or a smooth green lawn.

A Big shoutout to Williams Baker (owner) and his crew for doing an AWESOME job with the cutting and shaping of our huge Maple tree, our Magnolia tree, and the unique Spiral Leaf Willow tree!

They were friendly, professional, knowledgeable and reasonably priced. They also did an excellent job with clean up.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I called Pacific tree services to provide an estimate on several trees on my property that needed pruning and cabling. I had called several other tree services with limited to no response. Ben was prompt to respond and scheduled a trip to come and see the trees on my property the same week. He came and checked the health of my trees and walked me through each of the trees and what was needed to be done.  I appreciated the knowledge he shared and was grateful that he was not a pushy salesman. The quote I was provided was very reasonable so I hired them to do the services. Once I hired their services, a crew of 4 friendly people showed up and did an excellent job of pruning and cabling. They did the job quickly, safely and efficiently.  I was especially impressed with all the safety protocols they followed - both for climbing up the trees and also how they brought down the branches without causing any damage to the property. I highly recommend pacific tree services and I plan to keep them as my go-to tree service company. Thank you pacific tree services !

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I got several estimates for the job they had the best price out of all of them. They did a great job and cleaned up very well after the tree was taken down. They even dropped the wood at my neighbors house since they have a fireplace & I don't.  I am very satisied with their work and would use them again they are fantastic!

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Will and his group was great to work with.  I called on Friday to get my shrubs and tree removed.  They were gone by Wed. the following week.

Will's quote was great! $100's less than the other companies.  His communication and follow up was excellent.

I will refer all of my family and friends who need tree and shrub removal!  Thanks Will!

Frequently Asked Questions About Stump Grinding & Removal Services

How deep do you grind tree stumps?

Standard grinding depth is 6 to 12 inches below ground level, which completely destroys the primary stump hub and root crown.

What happens to the roots leftover in the ground?

Once the main stump hub is ground away, disconnected underground roots naturally decompose over time without sprouting new growth.

Can I plant a new tree in the exact same spot?

We recommend planting new trees a few feet away from the old stump location to give the new root system fresh soil nutrients and room to establish.

Will the stump grinding machine fit into my backyard?

Yes. Our machines are specifically designed to fit through standard 36-inch side gates without damaging fences or lawns.

Is stump grinding included in tree removal quotes?

Stump grinding can be bundled with tree removal or requested as a standalone service. We itemize all costs clearly in your upfront estimate.
