We are your local experts in taking back your yard. We provide fast, affordable, and professional tree stump grinding and stump removal services in Clarks Summit, PA, turning that ugly eyesore into a smooth, clean patch of dirt in no time.





Why You Shouldn't Ignore That Old Stump


It is tempting to just leave a stump in the ground and let nature take its course, but that is actually a bad idea. A dying stump is like an all-you-can-eat buffet for pests. As the wood rots, it attracts subterranean termites, carpenter ants, and wood-boring beetles. Once those bugs finish eating the stump, they often move right toward the wooden foundation of your house. Plus, old stumps can grow aggressive fungal diseases that spread through the soil to your healthy plants. Our stump grinding service destroys this habitat completely, keeping your yard safe and healthy.

How Our Stump Grinding Service Works


When you search for stump grinding near me, you need a team with the right tools. You can't just dig a massive stump out with a shovel. We bring in specialized, self-propelled stump grinding machines. These machines have a powerful spinning wheel covered in heavy-duty carbide teeth. We carefully maneuver the machine over the stump and grind the solid wood down into small chips, going several inches below the dirt line. This permanently destroys the stump and allows you to instantly plant grass right over the top of it.

Stump Grinding vs. Total Stump Removal


We offer both options depending on your needs:

  • Tree Stump Grinding: This is perfect for 95% of homeowners. It grinds the wood below the surface and leaves the deep underground roots to naturally turn into compost. It is fast, affordable, and doesn't tear up your whole yard.
  • Stump Tree Removal: If you are planning to pour a concrete patio or driveway exactly where the tree used to be, the entire root ball must be dug out with an excavator so the ground doesn't sink later. We handle these heavy-duty extractions too.




Frequently Asked Questions


  • Will the stump grinding machine tear up my grass? Not at all. Our modern stump grinders are designed with weight-distributing tracks or specialized tires that are gentle on your lawn. We can drive the machine right to the stump without leaving deep, muddy ruts in your grass.
  • Can your machine fit through the gate to my backyard? Yes! While we have big machines for giant front-yard stumps, we also have compact grinders designed specifically to squeeze through standard 36-inch residential backyard gates.
  • What happens to all the woodchips when you're done? Grinding a stump creates a nice pile of fresh wood mulch and dirt. We typically use this mixture to fill in the hole we just created, leaving a neat little mound that will settle flat over a few weeks. It makes great natural fertilizer for your yard!
  • Can I plant a new tree right where the old stump was? It is usually best not to plant a new sapling in the exact same hole. As the old sawdust breaks down under the dirt, it temporarily uses up the soil's nutrients. We recommend planting your beautiful new tree about three or four feet away from the old spot.

Clarks Summit, PA Insights: Population,
Zip Codes, Influence, and Service Areas

The first settler in the area currently known as Clarks Summit was William Clark. Clark had fought in the Battle of Bunker Hill during the Revolutionary War, and as payment for his military service, he was issued 800 acres (3.2 km2) of Pennsylvania land by Congress. Because of disputes between Pennsylvania and Connecticut over the area of land that is now northern Pennsylvania (resulting in the Pennamite-Yankee War), the land deed issued to Clark was deemed invalid by the Luzerne County land grant office. Clark had no choice but to pay for the land himself. In March 1799, Clark and his three sons moved into a log cabin in the Abington wilderness, located on what is currently the Clarks Green Cemetery. The first school was built in 1893 and was destroyed by fire two years later. The village of Clarks Summit and an adjacent tract of land were incorporated into the Borough of Clarks Summit on August 30, 1911.
