Stump Grinding

If you’ve recently had a tree removed, or have an old stump taking up space in your yard, Godfrey Tree Service provides professional stump grinding services in Statesville, NC and nearby towns. We use powerful equipment to grind tree stumps below ground level, allowing you to reclaim your space for landscaping, gardening, or building projects.

Leaving a stump behind isn’t just an eyesore—it can also lead to issues with pests, root sprouting, and even tripping hazards. Over time, exposed stumps can rot, attract insects, or become a breeding ground for fungi. Grinding them down helps maintain the health and beauty of your landscape and makes it safer for your family and visitors.

Our state-of-the-art stump grinders reduce stumps to mulch, typically 6 to 12 inches below grade. The process is fast, clean, and far less invasive than digging or removing a stump by hand. After grinding, we can also backfill the hole with mulch or soil upon request, so the area is left neat and ready for new use.

Benefits of Stump Grinding:

• Eliminates unsightly stumps from your yard
• Prevents pest infestations and fungal growth
• Reduces the chance of accidents or trips
• Frees up space for sod, garden beds, or new plantings
• Stops unwanted tree sprouts from returning
