Who we are
Got Stumps Stump Grinding is a family-owned tree service based in Hebron, Connecticut. Founded in 2005, our business grew from a simple promise: to remove tree stumps quickly, affordably, and cleanly while treating every property as if it were our own. Our technicians are trained specialists in stump grinding and stump removal, focused on delivering safe, efficient, and professional results for residential and commercial clients.
Why stump grinding matters
Stump removal and grinding do more than improve a lawn’s appearance. Old tree stumps can:
Attract wood-boring insects and termites that threaten nearby structures.
Grow new shoots that degrade the landscape’s aesthetics and compete with desired plants.
Impede mowing, landscaping, and construction.
Present a tripping hazard for family members, visitors, or customers.
Removing or grinding that stump below grade prevents these problems and frees up usable space. Our team assesses each stump and recommends the most efficient solution — whether that’s grinding the stump to create a smooth surface for planting, or full stump removal when roots and debris need to be cleared for construction or commercial use.

How we work — a reliable process
On-site assessment: Technicians evaluate stump diameter, root spread, proximity to structures, and access conditions. This determines the ideal approach and equipment.
Safe preparation: We mark utilities, clear the area for safe equipment operation, and protect nearby landscaping that will remain.
Grinding or removal: Using commercial stump grinders, we grind the stump down to the agreed depth below grade. For full stump removal, we also extract major root systems and level the area as required.
Debris handling: Wood chips can be hauled away or left as mulch on request. We offer debris removal and responsible disposal.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is the difference between stump grinding and stump removal?
Stump grinding uses a rotating cutting wheel to grind the stump down below the soil surface, leaving wood chips behind and minimal disturbance to the surrounding soil. Stump removal involves excavation to take the entire stump and major roots out of the ground, which is more disruptive but often required for construction or when root systems must be fully cleared.
How deep do you grind stumps?
For residential lawn restoration and planting, we typically grind stumps 4–12 inches below grade. For construction or heavy planting, we can grind deeper or remove roots as requested. Depth is determined during the on-site assessment.
Do you handle root systems and stump roots?
Yes. Standard stump grinding removes the visible stump and large roots near the stump. For extensive root removal — for example when preparing for foundations or paving — we offer more comprehensive root clearing and removal.
Is stump grinding safe near structures or utilities?
Safety is a priority. We always check for underground utilities and take precautions around driveways, foundations, and landscaping. If a stump is too close to a structure or utility, we explain the risks and propose the safest solution, which may include partial grinding or full stump removal handled with extra care.
Can wood chips be left on my property?
Absolutely. Many customers choose to keep wood chips as mulch for gardens or landscape beds. We can also haul chips away if you prefer. Both options are priced and discussed in the estimate.
How long does stump grinding take?
The time depends on the number and size of stumps. Small residential stumps can be ground in 15–30 minutes each, while large or complex stumps may take longer. We provide a time estimate during scheduling.
Do you offer licensed stump removal services?
Yes. Got Stumps is licensed and insured to perform stump grinding and stump removal. We prioritize safe, compliant work for all jobs, including commercial stump clearing.
How quickly can you schedule service?
We strive for prompt scheduling and can often accommodate same-week work for single-stump jobs. Larger clearing projects are scheduled based on scope and availability. For urgent needs, ask about our fast stump removal services when you call.
