Stump Grinding
I grind stumps down below ground level so you can re-sod, replant, or build over the spot — no chemicals, no digging by hand.

What I Do
Stump work, start to finish
From a single backyard stump to clearing a whole lot, I bring the right equipment and leave the ground ready to use.
Stump & Root Removal
Surface roots wreck mowers and trip up foot traffic. I take care of the problem roots along with the stump.
Cleanup & Grading
I rake out the grindings and smooth the area so it blends back into your yard instead of leaving a crater behind.
Residential
Reclaim your yard. I work carefully around fences, beds, and lawns to clear stumps with as little disruption as possible.
Commercial & Land
Property managers, builders, and landowners: I clear single stumps or full lots so the property is ready for what's next.
Large & Difficult Stumps
Big hardwoods, wide root flares, awkward access — the ones nobody else wants. Send a photo and I'll tell you straight.
Why Choose Burton
Done right, and cleaned up after
Anybody can knock a stump down. I take the time to do it properly and leave your property looking better than I found it.
The right equipment for any stump
Purpose-built grinders take down everything from small backyard stumps to big hardwood and pine.
I respect your property
Careful work around fences, beds, and lawns, debris shields up near cars and buildings — and the area raked clean when the job's done.
Straightforward, free quotes
Know what it costs before I start. No surprises, no pressure, no obligation.
Debris Shields
Chips stay in the work zone — not on your car
A grinder throws chips, dirt, and rocks. When the stump is near a driveway, a building, or anything you care about, I set up debris shields around the wheel first.
Vehicles and windows protected
Shields go up between the grinder and parked cars, glass, and siding before I start cutting.
Safe near buildings and drives
Stumps tight against a barn, a shop, or a gravel drive get walled off so the grindings land where they should.
Easier cleanup after
Chips stay in one spot instead of spraying across the yard, so the area rakes out clean when the job's done.
Before & After
See the difference for yourself
Real stumps, real jobs, all done with my own equipment. Browse the before & afters and watch a whole stump come out start to finish over in the portfolio.
Stump and brush cleared out beside the storage buildings — then the whole area graded smooth and left ready to use.
Watch a Stump Come Out
A big one, start to finish
A whole overgrown stump taken from a mound in the middle of the yard down to level ground — no cuts, no cutaways. That's the same job I'll do on yours.

FAQ
Stump grinding questions, answered
Straight answers to what folks ask me most about stump grinding and removal.
How much does stump grinding cost?
Every job is priced on the size and number of stumps, how easy they are to get to, and whether you want the grindings hauled off. The fastest way to a real number is a free quote — call or text 601-249-6343 with a photo and I'll give you a straight price, no obligation.
What's the difference between stump grinding and stump removal?
Stump grinding chips the stump down several inches below ground level so you can re-sod, replant, or build over the spot. Full removal pulls the entire root ball out and leaves a large hole. For most yards, grinding is faster, cleaner, and more affordable — and I take care of the problem roots too.
How deep do you grind the stump?
I grind below the surface — usually 6 to 12 inches deep — so the area can be leveled, seeded, or planted over without the old stump getting in the way.
What happens to the wood chips and debris?
I rake the grindings back into the hole to settle, or haul them off if you'd rather have the area cleared. Either way I leave the spot raked clean — better than I found it.
How long does it take to grind a stump?
Most stumps are ground out in a single visit, often in under an hour each depending on size and how hard the wood is. Big hardwoods or full lots take longer — I'll tell you what to expect when I quote the job.
Can you grind stumps in tight or hard-to-reach spots?
Yes. My equipment fits through standard gates and works around fences, flower beds, and tight backyards. Send a photo of the access and I'll tell you straight up whether it's doable.
Will flying chips damage my car, house, or windows?
Not if I can help it. When a stump is near a driveway, a building, or parked vehicles, I set up debris shields around the grinder before I start so the chips and rocks stay in the work zone. If there's anything nearby you're worried about, point it out when I quote the job.
Do I need to be home when you grind the stump?
Not necessarily. As long as I have clear access and the stumps are marked, I can take care of it while you're out and follow up once it's done.
How do I get a free quote?
