Professional Stump Grinding in Cleveland
A leftover stump is more than an eyesore — it takes up usable yard space, creates a tripping hazard, attracts insects and wood-boring pests, and can continue sending up unwanted sprouts for years. Whether the stump is from a recent removal or has been sitting in your yard for years, professional grinding is the cleanest and most effective way to eliminate it completely.
Ilya’s Tree Service uses commercial-grade stump grinders to reduce stumps below ground level, leaving behind wood chips that can be used as mulch or removed entirely. We work carefully around existing landscaping, irrigation lines, and structures to protect your property throughout the process.

Frequently Asked Questions
Stump grinding costs in Cleveland typically range from $100–$400 per stump depending on diameter, root spread, and accessibility. Multiple stumps on the same property are usually discounted. We provide free written estimates before any work begins so you know exactly what to expect.
We typically grind stumps 6–12 inches below grade which is sufficient for replanting grass, laying sod, or general landscaping. If you plan to plant a new tree or install hardscaping in the same spot we can discuss going deeper during your estimate.
After grinding you’ll be left with a pile of wood chips and sawdust. These can be spread as mulch around your garden beds, raked into the hole to decompose naturally, or hauled away entirely — we’ll discuss your preference and handle it accordingly.
Yes. Once the stump is ground down and the chips are removed or decomposed you can replant the area. For grass or sod we recommend filling the hole with topsoil after chip removal. For a new tree we suggest waiting a season or two for any remaining root material to break down before planting in the same spot.
Absolutely. We grind stumps regardless of who performed the original tree removal. If you have old stumps that have been sitting in your yard for years we can take care of those just as easily as a freshly cut one. Just give us a call for a free estimate.
