What areas do you serve? ▾

We're based in Rutherfordton, NC and serve homeowners within about 60 miles, including Forest City, Lake Lure, Columbus, Shelby, and the surrounding foothills counties.

How deep do you grind the stump? ▾

Basic grinding removes the stump 7–8 inches below the surface — perfect when you just want grass or mulch over the spot. Deep grinding goes 12–15 inches down for replanting, construction, or landscaping.

Do you clean up the wood chips? ▾

By default the wood chips and mixed dirt are left over the spot at no charge. If you'd prefer, we offer an optional cleanup add-on where we haul away most of the chips and grade the soil level and plant-ready.

How soon can you come out? ▾

Choose priority scheduling to have it done in the next 1–2 days, or pick a convenient date and time when you book online — we'll confirm shortly after your request.

Do I need to be home during the service? ▾

Not necessarily. As long as we have clear access to the stumps, many jobs are completed without you present — we'll confirm the details when we schedule.
