Tree stumps are a common hazard for Denver homeowners and property managers. When a tree is removed, the top section can be hauled away but the stump is still deeply rooted. The good news is that you don’t have to fight the root system to restore the safe and level condition of your landscape. Stump grinding in Denver can reduce the level of the stump to below the topsoil so you can grow grass, plan paths, and build over the space safely.
American Arbor Care has over 25 years of experience using precision grinding technology to remove stumps expertly and efficiently. Our stump grinding services ensure minimal yard disruption and fast completion times so you can reclaim full use of your landscape as soon as possible. Grinding is the most effective and preferred modern method for stump removal that allows the buried root system to decay naturally once the stump is gone.

American Arbor Care is proud to bring stump grinding services to the Denver community. Our professional-grade safety protocols ensure that people, property, and pets are kept safe from flying woodchips during the process. Before grinding, we schedule CO 811 utility locates (typically 3–5 business days). Once locates are complete, we work quickly and leave your property tidy with thorough debris processing and cleanup.
One of the questions we get most often is how professional stump grinding actually works. The answer is that we reduce the stump one layer at a time with literal cutting-edge tools and the latest in safety and precision techniques.
A high-powered rotating cutting wheel is used to achieve precision depth control as we remove one layer of the stump’s dense wood at a time. We remove layers until the stump is reduced up to 18+ inches below the surface of the landscape. The systematic grinding pattern provides complete stump destruction so you can fill the space with topsoil and plant when the job is done.
Root grinding can be provided for comprehensive removal and the ability to reclaim a space which was once dominated by old wood. We can then provide wood chip production and processing on-site. This gives us the ability to immediately restore an area where an old stump and intrusive roots existed.

Stump Grinding Applications in Denver
When is stump grinding the right answer for your Denver home or property? There are many situations where you may want to remove an old stump that is in the way or has become an outdoor hazard.
Landscape Renovation
If you are redesigning or renovating your landscape, old stumps can hold you back. Stumps are a large anchor and obstruct changes to the area. Stump grinding allows you to start fresh with open, usable yard space.
Lawn Restoration and Sod Laying
When you want a beautiful grass-covered lawn, stumps often get in the way. Stump grinding takes the stump below the ground level so you can cover with topsoil and install fresh sod to restore your lawn.
Garden Bed Design
When you want to expand or redesign your garden beds, removing a stump can give you more space for flat tailored space to grow your flowers, vegetables, and beyond.
Driveway and Walkway Installation
Before you can pave new spaces, you’ll need to remove old stumps that may be in the way. Stump grinding clears the surface area, so you pave new driveways and walkways over your land.
Fence Line Clearing
Stumps often intrude where you want to build or restore a fence. Trees that are removed to keep them off the fence also leave a stump behind. Stump grinding makes room for your fence and keeps the space clear.
Construction Site Preparation
Stump grinding is also a practical step when planning new construction for outdoor structures, outbuildings, home expansions, and more.
Commercial Property Maintenance
Stumps are an unwanted part of any commercial property landscaping. Stump grinding makes room for beautiful flower beds and green lawns that reflect best on your commercial property.
