What is stump removal?

Stump removal involves removing the visible portion of the stump and surrounding roots using specialized machinery equipped with a toothed wheel that grinds the wood. Our trained technicians dig 6 to 18 inches into the ground while minimizing damage to your lawn.

After the stump removal, they clean the site and dispose of the stump. They also take the time to properly fill the hole left behind with soil and install new grass.

If your municipality requires tree replanting after removal, we can advise you on the most suitable type of tree based on your needs and preferences.

Precautions to take before stump removal

Several precautions must be taken before performing stump removal:

You must contact Info-Excavation to determine whether underground infrastructure or cables are present beneath the stump and roots (gas, water, or electrical lines, septic system equipment). A technician will be sent free of charge to verify.

If the stump is located on a neighboring property line, you must obtain permission from the neighbor to remove the roots.

If stump removal may interfere with traffic on a public road, municipal authorities must be notified.

To protect surrounding structures from debris projected by the stump grinder, wooden panels must be installed.
