Stump Grinding in Rochester, MN
A leftover stump is a trip hazard, a mowing obstacle and can sprout suckers. Grinding takes it down below the surface so you can reseed or replant.
What to expect
- The grinder chews the stump and main surface roots into wood chips, usually several inches below grade.
- You can usually choose to keep the chips for mulch or have them hauled away.
- Gate width matters. Tell the pro how wide your gate or side yard is so they bring the right machine.
Call before you dig
In Minnesota, underground utilities should be located before digging or grinding. Gopher State One Call (dial 811) handles locate requests. Many stump grinding companies handle this for you, so ask.
