Stump Grinding in New Berlin, WI
Grind old stumps below grade and reclaim usable lawn space at your New Berlin property.
Why New Berlin homeowners call us for stump grinding
A leftover stump in a New Berlin yard is a mowing obstacle, a trip hazard, and an open invitation to carpenter ants. We grind 4 to 8 inches below grade as standard, deep enough to sod, seed, or landscape straight over the top. Before the grinder starts we call 811 Diggers Hotline for utility locates and check for irrigation, invisible fence, and landscape lighting. Grindings are hauled off or left as mulch, whichever you prefer.
Most stumps run $75 to $400 each depending on diameter and root spread, and grinding is cheapest when bundled with a removal we are already doing. Every New Berlin job starts with a free on-site estimate, and the price we write down is the price you pay.

Stump Grinding in New Berlin: FAQ
Straight answers to what New Berlin homeowners ask us most.
Usually $75 to $400 per stump, driven by diameter, root flare, and access. Grinding at the same visit as a removal is significantly cheaper because it is one setup and one cleanup.
Four to eight inches below grade is standard, which supports sod, seed, or new landscaping. If you plan a patio, fence post, or replacement tree in that spot, tell us and we grind deeper.
Usually yes. Our machines are self-propelled and fit through most standard gates. If the only path is very narrow or steep we will tell you at the estimate rather than on the day of work.
Minimal impact. We lay boards on soft turf, keep tracking to one path, and clean the area thoroughly. We are fully insured either way.
No. Once the stump and root collar are ground out the tree is dead and remaining roots decay in place. Suckering species like elm may push a few shoots for a season, which mowing handles.
