Stump Grinding & Removal in Chicago

Old stumps are more than an eyesore. They attract termites and pests, damage mower blades and make mowing and landscaping a hassle. A-1 Tree Services grinds stumps below grade so you can plant, pave or build over the spot.

Our stump grinders reach tight residential spaces and grind well below the surface. We remove the grindings or leave them for mulch, based on your preference. If we already removed the tree, we can often handle the stump on the same visit.

We also remove surface roots that interfere with patios, driveways and foundations, and can pair this with tree removal for a complete cleanup.
