Our Forest Hills grinder operator assesses each stump — size, root spread, access constraints, underground utilities (we always check) — before bringing in the right machine for the job.
B. Haney and Sons Arborists confirms underground utilities are properly marked before grinding any stump in Forest Hills. We will not grind blind, regardless of how routine the stump looks — that is how serious accidents happen.
We grind the stump 6 to 12 inches below grade — deeper if you plan to replant in the same spot, shallower if you just need to mow over the area.
Our Forest Hills crew rakes the stump chips, removes excess if requested, and back-fills the grinding hole. The site is left clean and ready for whatever surface treatment you have planned.

Our reputation is built on results. Here is what our customers have to say.
"Solid tree service. Took down two trees and pruned three more. The work was done right and the cleanup was good. Slight scheduling delays due to weather but they communicated well and made it right. Would hire again."
"Called for emergency tree service after a big limb came down on our shed. Crew was here within three hours, removed the limb, cleaned up all the debris, and did not even charge us extra for the after-hours call. That is integrity right there."
"These arborists actually care about tree health, not just cutting. They talked me out of an unnecessary removal and helped me set up a long-term plant health care plan instead. The tree is healthier than ever and saved me thousands compared to a removal-replant."
