Stump Grinding in St. Catharines, Ontario
The Garden City has a lot of big, old trees, and every one that comes down leaves something behind. We grind those stumps in backyards from Port Dalhousie to Merritton.
Why Stumps Get Left Behind in St. Catharines
St. Catharines earned its nickname for a reason. Neighbourhoods like Old Glenridge, the streets around Montebello Park and the older parts of Western Hill are full of maples, oaks and lindens planted generations ago. As those trees age out, get damaged in storms or crowd a house, they're taken down, and the stumps are often left for someone else to deal with.
Emerald ash borer added to the count. The City has said every ash tree in St. Catharines is at risk, and many private ash trees in yards have already been cut. Lots of homeowners hired a crew for the tree and are now looking at a wide, flat ash stump in the middle of the lawn.
Yards and Access in St. Catharines
A typical St. Catharines backyard sits behind a fence with a side gate, often next to a driveway that's shared or tight. That's the job our compact machine is meant for. Post-war bungalows in the north end and around Lakeport usually have decent side access; older two-storeys downtown can be snugger, with steps or a narrow walk between houses. Tell us what the way in looks like and we'll plan for it.
The Stump Job We Do Most in St. Catharines
Mostly stump grinding: one to three stumps in a fenced yard, ground below the grass so the lawn can be seeded back. We also do a fair bit of full removal where homeowners are replacing a fence or putting in a patio, and surface roots from big maples that have heaved paths.

The City took down the tree out front. Should I call you for the stump?
If it was a City boulevard tree, no. The City schedules boulevard stump grinding itself. If the tree was on your property, we can help.
