Tree Removal FAQs for Lake St. Louis Homeowners

How much does it costs to have a stump ground?

Cost on stump grinding vary based on size, location, access and the amount of surface roots that extend from the stump and how far from the stump that they extend. 

How deep do you grind the stump?

Most stumps are ground several inches below the surface, allowing the area to be covered with soil or replanted with grass.

Will the tree grow back after grinding?

Grinding removes the stump and most surface roots, which prevents regrowth in most cases.

What happens to the wood chips?

Grinding produces mulch-like wood chips that can be left for landscaping or removed depending on your preference.

Do you grind multiple stumps?

Yes. We can remove multiple stumps during the same visit for homeowners clearing larger areas.

Storm damage? Fallen tree? We respond quickly.
