Stump Grinding & Removal Across the Portland Metro

Complete stump grinding and stump removal for homeowners across Clackamas, Multnomah, and Washington Counties. Standalone service for old stumps, or paired with any tree removal job to leave your yard clean and usable. Family-owned since 1986, licensed (CCB #209975), bonded, and insured.

Our Stump Grinding & Removal Service

A tree comes down, but the stump stays β€” and a stump in your yard is more than just an eyesore. It's a tripping hazard, an obstacle to mowing, a magnet for pests and decay, and a slow-decomposing reminder of work that isn't really finished. North Woods provides complete stump grinding to remove stumps below grade so you can replant grass, install landscaping, or just reclaim the space. We handle single stumps left from old removals, multi-stump jobs across larger properties, stumps paired with active tree removal (often discounted when the crew's already on-site), and large stumps on rural acreage that require heavier equipment. Every stump grinding job includes mulch/grindings disposal β€” we either leave them on-site as fill or haul them away, your choice β€” and clean site cleanup afterward.

When Stump Grinding Makes Sense

Not every stump needs to come out β€” but the right stump grinding job pays off in yard usability, safety, and property value:

  • Old stumps from previous removals that have sat for years β€” taking up usable yard space, blocking landscaping plans, or just looking unfinished.

  • Stumps in lawn areas where you mow, play, or walk regularly. Hidden by grass or weeds, they become real injury and equipment-damage risks.

  • When we're already removing a tree, adding stump grinding is the most efficient way to finish the job. Often discounted vs. coming back later as a standalone service.

  • Old stumps attract termites, ants, beetles, and fungal decay β€” which can spread to healthy trees and structures nearby. Removal eliminates the source.

  • Tight access, mature trees near homes, steep terrain, crane-required removals β€” these are the jobs other crews pass on. 35+ years of Pacific Northwest experience built for exactly these conditions.

  • Free estimates, $0 deposit, written quotes with no hidden fees. The price James quotes is the price you pay. Full cleanup included in every estimate.

  • Every Portland-metro city has different tree code rules. We help you identify what your job requires and assist with the city if needed β€” so you stay compliant.
