Old stumps ruin a good yard. At TREES N THINGS, we grind and remove stumps fast, clean, and low — no mess, no roots left behind. Serving Cape Girardeau and nearby towns with real hands-on tree work.

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.
We grind stumps of any size below the surface, breaking up the roots to stop regrowth. Quick, safe, and clean — ideal for front yards or near patios.
Some stumps spread deep roots that ruin soil levels. We chase and remove main roots up to 12 inches down to keep your yard smooth and ready for new grass.
Perfect for land clearing or storm damage jobs. We grind multiple stumps in one trip, helping Cape Girardeau homeowners prepare land for sheds, driveways, or replanting.


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.
Most single stumps take 30–60 minutes. Larger jobs with multiple stumps can take a few hours, depending on root size and access.
We remove the main root system around the stump. Smaller feeder roots die off naturally once the base is gone.
We can haul them away or spread them evenly as natural mulch. Many Cape Girardeau customers keep them for garden use.
Yes. Our grinder fits tight areas and we protect nearby structures with guards. We’ve handled stumps inches from sidewalks and decks safely.
