Tree removal

That leftover stump from the tree you cut years ago? It’s not just ugly — it kills your grass, attracts bugs, and wrecks your mower blades. At TREES N THINGS, we grind stumps deep below ground level so you can replant, reseed, or build over the area. We work across Cape Girardeau, Jackson, and Benton — from big yards off Mount Auburn Road to smaller driveways in Scott City. Our commercial grinder handles any stump, any wood type, even old oak bases that have been sitting for years. When we’re done, you’ll have clean, level ground ready for new growth.

Frequently Asked Questions

Got Questions? We’ve Got Answers!

How deep do you grind stumps?

We grind 6–12 inches below ground level. That’s deep enough to stop regrowth and let you plant or level over the spot easily.

How long does stump grinding take?

Most single stumps take 30–60 minutes. Larger jobs with multiple stumps can take a few hours, depending on root size and access.

Do you remove all the roots too?

We remove the main root system around the stump. Smaller feeder roots die off naturally once the base is gone.

What do you do with the mulch or chips?

We can haul them away or spread them evenly as natural mulch. Many Cape Girardeau customers keep them for garden use.

Can you grind stumps close to fences or concrete?

Yes. Our grinder fits tight areas and we protect nearby structures with guards. We’ve handled stumps inches from sidewalks and decks safely.
