What is the difference between grinding and excavation?
Grinding reduces the stump below grade and usually leaves part of the root system in place. Full excavation is more disruptive and is not always necessary.
Chopping Trees
A stump makes mowing harder, blocks landscaping and becomes an obstacle in the yard. Our stump grinding service in Lanaudière mechanically reduces the stump below ground level, based on machine access and the finish you need.
Diameter, species, remaining height, stones, exposed roots and access all influence the method and price. We also define what happens to the wood chips and how the area will be left after the work.
We review diameter, condition, visible roots and proximity to fences, pavers, buildings and landscaping.
Machine access and the possible location of underground services must be confirmed before grinding.
Depth is selected for the intended use, such as lawn, garden bed, grading or basic clearance.
The woody stump is progressively reduced to chips without claiming that every lateral root will be removed.
Chips can be left, piled or hauled according to the quote. Backfilling can also be discussed.

Diameter, species, access, stones, required depth and wood-chip hauling all affect the price.
It can be ground shortly after tree removal or later. Timing depends on access and what you plan to do with the area.
Some species can produce shoots from remaining roots. Grinding removes the main obstacle but does not guarantee the removal of every root.
That depends on grinding depth, chip removal and backfill. Tell us your plan so the finish can be scoped correctly.
