Powerful Grinding Equipment, Clean Results for Your Yard
Stump grinding uses a powerful machine with carbide teeth to chip a stump down below ground level, clearing the way for new grass, gardens, or replanting. Natures Touch Tree Care & Landscaping brings professional-grade grinding equipment to properties throughout the southwest Twin Cities metro. Our operators are backed by experts who make sure every grind sets your landscape up for success.
What Stump Grinding Is
After a tree comes down, the stump and its root flare stay behind. Grinding chips that wood into mulch, typically 6 inches or more below grade. Unlike full stump excavation, grinding avoids tearing up large sections of your yard, making it the cleaner and more affordable choice for most properties in our area.
