Expert Stump Grinding and Root Removal
Serving Niles & Surrounding Areas
Why Professional Stump Grinding Matters
Eliminate hazards, pests, and regrowth
Leftover stumps create tripping hazards, dull mower blades, attract pests like termites and carpenter ants, and can sprout unwanted regrowth. They also complicate landscaping plans, making it harder to install sod, beds, patios, or fencing, while dragging down curb appeal and property value.
Grinding removes the stump below grade without the lawn damage that comes from digging or excavation. By pulverizing the stump and major surface roots to the proper depth, you get a clean slate for replanting or hardscaping, improved safety, and a tidier, more usable yard.
Precision grinding tailored to your property
We begin with a thorough site assessment, measuring stump diameter and checking for utilities, irrigation lines, rocks, and nearby structures. The work area is secured, protective shields are set where needed, and the stump is cut close to ground level to maximize efficiency and reduce debris.
Using a professional-grade, tracked stump grinder with sharp carbide teeth, we sweep across the stump in controlled passes until the wood is reduced to mulch at the target depth. We can chase surface roots that interfere with lawns, beds, or hardscape plans and adjust depth if you intend to replant or install features in the same spot.
From utility checks to lawn-ready results
Safety comes first. Our crew uses PPE, sets barriers to contain debris, and confirms underground utility clearance when needed. We identify irrigation, pet fences, and hidden metal to prevent damage and ensure a smooth, efficient grind.
After grinding, you can choose to keep the mulch for erosion control or have us remove it. We can backfill the cavity with topsoil, grade it level, and, on request, seed the area for a lawn-ready finish. This prevents settling and keeps the area neat.
Project time and price depend on stump diameter, tree species density, accessibility (slope, gates), surface roots, and cleanup preferences (mulch removal or soil backfill). We provide clear, written estimates and keep you informed from start to finish.

Tom Cone2024-06-25Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Wanted to get 2 large and 3 medium trees cut down with the stumps to be taken care of later. Received the quote wfhich was more in line with what I could feel comfortable with. Storms were in the forcast for the day we planned to do our project. I had to step out for a few minutes and when I got back home in the pouring rain and lightning here was the crew already having one tree cut down and 4 more to go. They did get out of the downpour but once things calmed down they were back at it. All I can say is WOW!!! . Crew very friendly and worked together very well. If I could give Avina Tree Service 10 stars I would do it. Thanks again for your outstanding service. Dadosaurus Rex2024-06-07Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. We had some very tall trees, very close to the house, and since we live in town there was little to no room to bring in equipment. I found Avina's Tree Service with a Google search, and they gave us a quote for less than half of what the other companies were charging. I accepted the quote on Friday evening, and they started working Saturday morning. All the cutting was done Saturday, and they came back Monday morning to finish cleaning up. They were very polite and respectful, and very skilled with climbing and cutting trees. I would recommend them to anyone who needs professional tree work done.
