You Have Looked at That Stump Long Enough
There is a moment every homeowner knows. You are walking across your yard, you glance at the stump, and you think, "I really need to deal with that."
Then another week goes by.
Maybe it is the stump from the tree that came down in last year's storm. Maybe it is the one your tree company left behind. Maybe you have three of them and you are not sure where to even start.
Here is what we know: a stump is never just a stump.
It is the thing stopping you from mowing without dodging around it. It is the tripping hazard you worry about when the grandkids are running through the yard. It is the reason your landscaper said he cannot start your project yet. It is the eyesore you apologize for when neighbors stop by.
We fix all of that. Fast. Clean. For a fair price. With zero hassle.

We Are Not a "Tree Company That Also Grinds Stumps"
Most companies in the Columbus area offer stump grinding as a side service. They are primarily tree removal companies. Stump grinding gets squeezed in between bigger jobs. It is not their focus.
It is ours.
Upper Arlington Stump Grinding does one thing. We do it every single day. That means faster scheduling, better equipment, sharper technique, and a cleaner result than you will get from a generalist.
When stump grinding is your whole business, you get very good at it very fast.
Three things that make us different:
- We specialize. Stump grinding is not a side job for us. It is the only job.
- We communicate. You get a clear price, a confirmed time, and a heads-up when we are on our way.
- We clean up. We grind the stump, rake the area, and leave your yard looking right. That is not optional. It is just how we work.
Our Services
Stump Grinding
We grind your stump down 6 to 12 inches below ground level using commercial-grade equipment. No more obstacle. No more eyesore. The spot is ready for grass, landscaping, a fence, or whatever you have planned.
Stump Chip and Debris Removal
After grinding, we can haul away every chip and wood particle so there is nothing left to deal with. Your yard is completely clean. Not mostly clean. Completely clean.
Post-Grinding Yard Cleanup
We rake the work area, level the soil, and leave the ground ready for your next step. Whether you are seeding, sodding, or landscaping, the area is properly prepped before we leave.

Questions We Hear All the Time
"Is it really worth it to hire someone? Can I just do it myself?" Renting a stump grinder costs $150 to $300 per day, plus the time to haul it, learn to use it, and clean up afterward. Most homeowners rent it, struggle with it for half a day, and wish they had called. Our price is usually close to rental cost — and you do not have to lift a finger.
"I got a quote that was way cheaper than yours. Why?" Cheap quotes often mean a smaller grinder, a shallower grind, and a rushed cleanup. A shallow grind leaves roots close to the surface that can interfere with planting or mowing. We grind deep and we do it right. You are not paying for the truck — you are paying for the result.
"How do I know you will actually show up?" Fair concern. We confirm every appointment the day before. We send a text when we are on our way. And if something truly unavoidable happens, we call you, not the other way around.
"Will my yard look bad after grinding?" Right after grinding, the area will have a pile of wood chips and loose soil where the stump was. We rake and level that before we leave. If you want grass to grow back, we can advise on seeding. Within one season, most customers cannot tell there was ever a stump there.
