Stump grinding is another core service we offer throughout Beaverton and surrounding neighborhoods. Unsightly stumps can be a tripping hazard, attract pests, and interfere with landscaping or future construction. Our stump grinding services remove stumps below ground level, allowing you to replant, landscape, or restore your yard without obstruction.

What sets our team apart is local knowledge and experience. We understand Beaverton’s soil conditions, slopes, drainage patterns, and tree root systems, and we know that stump grinding is not always a one-size-fits-all service. In certain neighborhoods, improper or aggressive grinding can disturb shared root systems, destabilize nearby trees, increase erosion, or even raise the risk of slope failure or landslides. Knowing when, how deep, and how wide to grind a stump is just as important as removing it.

Because of this, we take a thoughtful, site specific approach rather than using a blanket method. We evaluate surrounding trees, terrain, and soil stability before grinding, helping protect the health and structural integrity of nearby trees and the landscape as a whole. Hiring a knowledgeable, experienced local tree company makes a significant difference compared to using a random stump grinding service, especially in areas where tree stability and erosion control matter.

How Stump Grinding Works

Stump grinding is a fast and effective way to remove stumps below ground level, typically to a depth of 4-12 inches below ground level, depending on site conditions and equipment access. Using a high-powered rotating cutter wheel, we grind the stump into wood chips. The wood chips are spread and graded to blend with the surrounding landscape.

Stump Grinding & Removal Options

At NW Premier Tree Services, we offer stump grinding solutions tailored to your needs. Our team carefully selects the right equipment to ensure a thorough and efficient process.

• Light Stump Grinding – This service grinds the stump 4-6 inches below ground level, with a grinding area extending 6-12 inches around the base. The wood chips produced will be spread and graded to blend with the surrounding landscape.

• Comprehensive Stump Grinding – For a more complete removal, we grind the stump below ground level, ensuring a 6-12 inch clearance around the base. While this process eliminates the visible stump, deep taproots will remain, as they often extend far into the soil.

Important Considerations:

• Utility Marking: Before grinding, we will contact 811 to mark all underground utilities to prevent damage and ensure a safe process.

• Depth Limitations: Stumps located near or directly over utilities may have limited grinding depth to avoid interference with buried lines.

Stump Grinding for Replanting & Landscaping

If you plan to replant a street tree, install new landscaping, or clear space for a project, proper stump grinding is essential. Leaving a stump in place can prevent new growth, attract pests, and interfere with construction or replanting efforts.

Whether you need stump grinding as a standalone service or as part of a tree removal project, we have the right solution for you. Contact NW Premier Tree Services today for a free estimate!
