Stump Removal & Grubbing in Cookeville TN
The trees are down but the stumps are still sitting there. Dug out, hauled off, and the ground graded clean.
Stumps have a way of outlasting everybody's patience. The tree service dropped the trees and left the stumps. Or the lot you bought came with a dozen of them hiding in the grass, waiting for a mower blade. Either way, they are in the way of everything you want to do with the ground.
Randy digs stumps out roots and all, hauls them off, and backfills and grades the holes so the yard does not turn into a moonscape. That full removal matters most on ground you plan to build on: you cannot put a pad, a driveway, or a septic field over buried stumps, because they rot and the ground above them settles.
Whether it is one stubborn oak stump in the front yard or a whole lot that needs grubbing before a build, it is quoted after a look and done by the man who quoted it.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is the difference between stump grinding and stump removal?
Grinding chews the stump down below the surface but leaves the root ball in the ground. Removal digs the stump and roots out entirely. Grinding is fine for a lawn. For anything getting built, poured, or driven on, the roots need to come out, because buried wood rots and the ground settles over it.
Can you remove stumps if someone else cut the trees?
Yes, that is common. Tree services drop trees all the time and leave the stumps. Randy comes in behind them, digs the stumps out, hauls them off, and grades the ground back smooth.
What happens to the holes after the stumps come out?
They get backfilled and graded, not left open. A dug stump leaves a real hole, and leaving those behind is how a yard becomes an ankle-breaker. Filled, compacted, and smoothed is part of the job.
