Out by the roots, when you need it.
When you are planting, building or digging in the same spot, a ground stump is not enough. Full stump removal pulls the stump and the main root mass out so the ground is truly clear.
- Priced by: Stump size, root spread, equipment and haul-off
- Methods: Deep grinding, excavation or a combination

What it is, and why it matters.
Grinding turns a stump into mulch below the surface, but it leaves the deeper roots in place. That is fine for most lawns. For a foundation, a pool, a deep planting or a sewer line repair, you want the stump itself and the main root mass gone.
Nashville Tree Service removes stumps across Middle Tennessee with grinders, excavation equipment or both. We plan the hole and the backfill, protect nearby lines and walks, haul the debris and leave level ground ready for what comes next.

Stump Removal: common questions
Is stump removal different from stump grinding?
Grinding cuts the stump below the surface. Removal takes out the stump and much of its root mass. Removal costs more and is needed only for deeper work.
Do I need to call about utilities?
Yes. Tennessee 811 locates buried lines for free. Call before any digging.
How do I get an estimate for stump removal?
Fill in the form or call or text 615-431-3789. A few photos and a rough height usually give us what we need, and we send a written price. Larger jobs start with a short visit.
