Why Minneapolis homeowners call us

Ash tree stumps. EAB has left thousands of dead ash across the city. We’re set up for volume ash grinding — chips are soft, jobs are fast.
Boulevard stumps. We handle the boulevard/right-of-way coordination with Minneapolis Forestry so you don’t have to.
Tight yards. Older neighborhoods have narrow gates and detached garages. Our compact grinder fits through 32″ gates.
Historic districts. No damage to pavers, retaining walls, or heritage plantings — we lay plywood on all approach paths.

Text us a photo. Include something for scale. We quote back the same day, usually within an hour on weekdays.
We schedule & call 811. Utility locates get marked (~3 business days) before we arrive. If your job is on the boulevard, we notify the city.
Crew arrives & grinds. Most Minneapolis residential stumps take 30–60 minutes. We text you a “done” photo and clean the site.
Pay when it’s done. Card, check, or Venmo — no deposits, no invoices to chase.

Our Minneapolis average from photo to ground-and-gone is 4 business days. Storm-damage jobs jump the queue.

Ground & gone

Crew arrives, grinds 8–12" below grade, cleans the work zone. Pay when you're happy — no deposits, no invoices to chase.

Answers before you call

Common questions from Minneapolis homeowners

How much does stump grinding cost in Minneapolis?

Most Minneapolis stumps run $4–$7 per inch of diameter measured at ground level, with a $250 minimum. A typical 20" boulevard maple is $300–$375 grinding only, or $375–$475 with chip haul-off.

Do you work in South Minneapolis? Northeast? Uptown?

All of Minneapolis — from Nokomis to Northeast, Uptown to Longfellow. Our shop is a 20-minute drive from most neighborhoods, so same-week scheduling is normal.

Can you grind boulevard stumps (between sidewalk and street)?

Yes, and this is a big chunk of our Minneapolis work — mostly ash removals from the Emerald Ash Borer program. We coordinate with Minneapolis Public Works if the boulevard falls under city jurisdiction.

Do you handle ash tree stumps from EAB removal?

Constantly. Emerald Ash Borer has taken thousands of ash trees off Minneapolis streets and yards. We grind hundreds of ash stumps a year — the wood is usually soft (dead 2–3 years), so grinding is fast.

What about tight backyard access in older neighborhoods?

Bungalow neighborhoods like Longfellow, Nokomis, and parts of Northeast often have 30–36" gates. Our compact 25" walk-behind grinder fits — no need to remove fence panels.

Do you pull permits for Minneapolis stump work?

No permit is required for stump grinding on private property. For boulevard trees under city jurisdiction, we coordinate directly with Minneapolis Forestry — you don't have to deal with it.
