Stump Grinding for Ottawa Homeowners
Get Your Yard Back.
One stump shouldn’t hold up your patio, your new sod, or your kids using the backyard. We grind below grade, clean up the chips, and leave your yard ready for whatever is next. Free quotes. Flat pricing. Local Ottawa crew.
What You Get
No shortcuts, no surprises just a clean stump-free yard when we drive away.
Below-Grade Grinding
We grind 6-18 inches below grade deep enough to plant grass, lay sod, install a patio, or forget the stump was ever there. No sanding down the top and calling it done.
Care for Your Property
Sprinkler heads flagged. Fence panels protected. Gates measured before we roll in. We treat your yard like it our own.
Cleanup Included
Chips and debris hauled away, ground raked smooth. Want to keep the mulch for your garden beds? Just tell us and we'll pile it where you want.
Ready for What's Next
Grinding one stump so you can put in that patio? Clearing five for a pool install? Tell us the end goal and we'll grind to suit it.
Surface Roots Too
Got roots snaking across the lawn from the old tree? We can grind those out on the same visit. Just flag them at quote time.
Fast Turnaround
Most single-stump jobs done in under 2 hours. Multi-stump yards typically knocked out same-day.

Common Questions
What homeowners usually want to know before we start.
How deep do you grind?
Standard is 4-6 inches below grade. Deep enough for grass, sod, or shallow-root landscaping. If you need deeper for a patio, foundation, or pool footing, tell us upfront and we’ll price accordingly.
What about my sprinklers or invisible dog fence?
Flag them before we arrive and we’ll work around them. If you can’t locate them, we call Ontario One Call for the major utilities and hand-probe near anything questionable.
How long does a single stump take?
Most residential jobs run one to two hours from setup to cleanup. Larger stumps or multi-stump yards take longer \u2014 we\u2019ll give you an accurate estimate at quote time.
Do you haul the chips away?
Yes, included by default. If you want to keep the chips for mulch, just say so we’ll leave them piled where you want them.
Do I need a permit?
For grinding a stump on your own property, no. If we’re grinding a City tree stump on the boulevard, that’s a different process call us and we’ll walk you through it.
What if you can\u2019t make it to my stump?
If access is tight (narrow gate, deep backyard, steep grade), tell us at quote time. Our machine fits through a 36in gate. If it won’t work, we’ll tell you honestly before you commit.

On the Job in Ottawa
Frequently Asked Questions
How much does residential stump grinding cost in Ottawa?
We price by stump diameter, so send a photo to (613) 715-0103 for a fast, firm quote. Small stumps have a flat minimum; bigger or multiple stumps are per inch — no hidden fees.
How deep do you grind the stump?
Below grade — usually 4–8 inches under the surrounding lawn, deeper if you plan to replant or sod. Enough to remove the stump and level the ground.
Will my lawn be a mess?
No. We protect access routes, grind cleanly, rake the spot level, and either haul the grindings or leave them as mulch. Most homeowners can reseed the same week.
Do you locate utilities first?
Yes — every job includes a free Ontario One Call locate before we start, so we grind safely around gas, hydro, and cable lines.
Are you insured?
Fully insured. We are glad to show proof of insurance on request.
