Stump Grinding in Thorold, Ontario
Thorold has been one of the fastest-growing places in Niagara, and growth means land being cleared. We grind the stumps that new lots and old yards leave behind.
New Lots, Old Trees
Much of Thorold's recent growth has happened in subdivisions south of the escarpment and around Confederation Heights and Rolling Meadows. When those lots were cleared, not every stump was dealt with. Homeowners discover them under a thin layer of sod, or along the back lot line where the builder stopped.
The older part of town, along the canal and up the hill near the locks, has a different problem: big trees near small houses. When those trees go, the stumps are often close to foundations, walls and driveways.
What Access Looks Like Here
New-build yards usually have narrow side gates between closely spaced houses, with a fence on every lot line. Older streets have more room but more obstacles: retaining walls, old sheds, mature gardens and the odd stone step left from another century. Out toward Allanburg and Port Robinson, rural lots are open but the ground can be uneven. Wherever you are in town, a quick note about steps, retaining walls or a narrow gate helps us bring the right mats and plan the route before the day.
Full Removal for Projects
New homeowners are often building something: a deck, a fence, a shed or a pool. That makes full stump removal the usual request in Thorold's subdivisions. For simple lawn stumps in the older streets, grinding does the job.
Thorold also has a lot of student rentals near Brock University, on the border with St. Catharines. Landlords there tend to want low-maintenance yards that tenants can mow without fuss, which means stumps and surface roots cleared away. These jobs are usually small and quick, and we can coordinate access with the tenants.

Questions From Thorold
There's a lump in our new lawn. Could it be a stump?
Quite possibly. Builders sometimes sod over stumps. As they rot, the ground sinks. We can find it, grind it out and level the spot.
Do you work in the rural parts of Thorold?
Yes, including Allanburg, Port Robinson and the farm properties around them.
