Fast, clean stump grinding that frees your yard for new use.
Conley Tree and Brush provides professional stump grinding across Redding, Cottonwood, Red Bluff, and all of Northern California. Whether you have one stump or several, the team grinds them down below grade, leaving your yard clean and ready for lawn, landscaping, or new planting.
How We Help
After a tree is removed, the stump left behind is more than an eyesore — it's a tripping hazard, takes up usable yard space, and can attract termites and other wood-boring insects. Stump grinding is the fastest, cleanest way to eliminate it and reclaim the space.
Conley Tree and Brush uses a commercial stump grinder to chew the stump down 8–12 inches below grade, leaving a pile of wood chips in its place. The chips can be used as mulch in garden beds or hauled away — whatever you prefer. The area is then ready for grass seed, sod, fresh soil, or whatever you're planning next.
Stump grinding is a common add-on to tree removal, but it's also available as a standalone service. If you had a tree removed by someone else — or a stump has been sitting in your yard for years — it doesn't matter. The crew can come out, grind it down, and have the area cleaned up in a matter of hours.
Conley serves Redding, Cottonwood, Anderson, Palo Cedro, Red Bluff, Shasta Lake, and surrounding Nor-Cal communities. Multiple stumps can be handled in a single visit, often at a better combined rate. Just describe the situation when you call and we'll give you a clear, upfront quote.
Common Questions
Stump grinding removes the stump and the main root flare. The lateral roots — which extend outward underground — will naturally decay over time but aren't removed. In most cases this doesn't cause any issues.
We typically grind 8–12 inches below grade, which is enough to plant grass over or fill with soil. If you need deeper grinding for a foundation or hardscape, just let us know.
