Our Technical Stump Grinding & Removal Capabilities
No matter the size, species, or location of the stump, our specialized machinery handles the job safely:
1. Residential Backyard Stump Grinding (Tight-Space Access)
Many residential stumps sit behind narrow gates, near decks, or along fences and flowerbeds. We utilize modern, turf-friendly stump grinders engineered to navigate tight residential footprints without tearing up established grass or leaving deep ruts behind.
2. Large-Diameter & Deep Root Grinding
Massive hardwood stumps from mature oaks and pines across Chatham County require heavy industrial equipment. Our high-powered grinders shave wood down layer by layer, cutting deep below the ground grade to destroy the structural core and main lateral roots, ensuring the obstacle is neutralized.
3. Commercial Lot Clearing & Multi-Stump Projects
In addition to individual residential backyards, we partner with Chatham Park builders, commercial facilities, and local HOAs to manage large-scale multi-stump clearing contracts. If you have multiple legacy stumps across cleared acreage, our high-efficiency operation grinds them down rapidly.

I could not have been more pleased with the work that Gilmer and the rest of the Smart Tree Service crew did for me. I called on a Tuesday, and Gilmer came out that same day to take a look at what I needed done—not only on my property but also on the easement that I share with my neighbors. The quote he provided was reasonable, and after coordinating with my neighbors, I was able to arrange for the work to be done later that week. The crew did an outstanding job, both with the removal of dead and ailing trees and with cleanup afterward. Highly recommend.Posted on Google![]()

Gilmer, Raul, and the team provided outstanding service from beginning to end. Gilmer met with us and provided a prompt estimate. His team of 5 arrived on time and worked for over 7 hours pruning a number of very tall and old trees around our house. They were attentive to details with my requests and cleaned up the entire area, front and back, before leaving. Very professional. Courteous and eager to please. Excellent work. Very reasonable pricing for a large amount of work. We will use them again and can highly recommend their work!Posted on Google![]()

Stump Grinding FAQs – Pittsboro, NC
How deep do your stump grinders cut below ground level?
Our standard grinding cuts 4 to 8+ inches below grade, completely eliminating the main trunk surface and surface root flare so the area is safe for foot traffic and lawnmowers.
What happens to the leftover wood chips after grinding?
The process produces a natural mixture of wood chips and soil. We pack this material firmly into the hole to keep the ground level and safe. Any excess mulch can be distributed around garden beds or hauled away per your request.
Can you remove stumps close to concrete driveways, foundations, or fences?
Yes. Our experienced operators maneuver our precision grinding wheels with surgical control, removing wood directly along concrete borders, fences, and structural edges without causing property damage.
