Reclaim Your Landscape in Woodland, Sacramento, and Davis

An old tree stump is more than just an eyesore—it’s a tripping hazard, a breeding ground for termites, and an obstacle to your next landscaping project. At Woodland Tree Service Inc., we provide high-powered stump grinding services that turn stubborn obstacles into useful mulch, leaving your ground level and ready for action.



Whether you have a massive oak base in Davis or a cluster of small stumps in Woodland, we have the machinery to erase them completely.

Our Stump Removal Process

Grinding Stumps of Any Size

No stump is too large or too deep for our equipment. We use high-torque grinders to chew through the toughest hardwoods, grinding the wood down several inches below the soil line to ensure the main root ball is destroyed.

Tight-Access Capability

Have a stump in a narrow backyard in Sacramento? Our portable grinding units can fit through standard garden gates, allowing us to reach stumps that larger machinery simply can’t get to.

Ground Leveling & Preparation

We don't just grind and go. We ensure the area is leveled, preventing the "sinkhole" effect that happens when wood chips settle. Your land will be perfectly prepped for sod, pavers, or a new garden bed.

Full Area Cleanup

Stump grinding creates a lot of debris. Our team handles the heavy lifting, backfilling the hole with mulch or hauling away the excess chips so your property stays tidy and professional.

Pest Prevention

Decaying stumps attract wood-boring insects like termites and carpenter ants. Removing them protects your home and other trees.

Stop New Growth

Some species, like Crepe Myrtles or Elms, can "sucker" and grow back from the stump. Grinding stops the growth cycle for good.

Frequently Asked Questions

  • Can I plant a new tree in the same spot after grinding?

    Yes! However, we recommend grinding the stump slightly deeper if you plan to replant immediately. Our experts in Woodland can advise you on the best soil amendments to help a new tree thrive in that location.

  • How long does the process take?

    Most residential stumps in the Sacramento area can be removed in under an hour. Larger, more complex root systems may take longer, but we pride ourselves on being fast and efficient.

  • What happens to the wood chips?

    You have options! Many of our Davis clients keep the chips to use as organic mulch for their garden beds. If you don't want them, we can haul them away as part of our full cleanup service.
