Out of your yard for good.
Stump Grinding & Removal Service in Tacoma
That stump in your yard isn’t just an eyesore — it’s a problem that tends to get worse the longer it sits there. Stumps attract pests, create tripping hazards, and can keep sending up new sprouts from the roots long after the tree is gone.
Maplewood Arbor Care removes stumps from residential and commercial properties throughout the Tacoma area. We grind them down below the surface, clean up the grindings, and leave your yard ready for whatever comes next — whether that’s grass seed, a garden bed, or just reclaimed space.
You don’t need to have used us for the original tree removal. We’ll come out and grind any stump, regardless of who took the tree down.
Our Process
Stump Grinding is the most efficient and least disruptive way to remove a stump. Here’s what our process looks like:
- Free Estimate. We come out, take a look at the stump — size, location, root system, and any obstacles nearby. You get a clear price before we schedule anything.
- Grinding. We use professional-grade grinding equipment to grind the stump down below the surface — typically 6 to 12 inches deep, depending on your plans for the space.
- Cleanup. We rake up the wood chip grindings and debris. You can use the chips as mulch if you’d like, or we’ll haul everything away — your call.
- Backfill We fill the remaining hole so the ground is level and safe to walk on.
Most residential stumps are done in under an hour. Larger stumps or multiple stumps on the same property may take longer, but we’ll give you an accurate time estimate upfront. We offer competitive prices and can tailor a plan to fit your financial and timing needs.

Frequently Asked Questions
- Do I need to have used you for the tree removal to get stump grinding?
Nope. We’ll grind any stump, regardless of who removed the tree, or how long ago. - What do I do with the wood chips?
You can keep them for mulch (they’re great around garden beds), or we’ll haul them away as part of the job. - Can you grind stumps close to a fence, driveway or structure?
Usually yes. Our equipment allows us to work in tight spaces. When we come to your property for the estimate, we’ll flag anything that could be a concern.
