Stump grinding and removal gets rid of the stump that stays behind after a tree comes down. A grinder turns the old trunk into chips below the sod line, the hole gets filled, and your insurance worries stay with us.
Stumps cause more trouble than they seem. Suckers shoot up around them, carpenter ants move in, and mower blades keep hitting them. On flat clay lots they also hold water around them, which leaves soggy patches in the yard.
Expect somewhere near $150 to $500 a stump in Toronto. Wide trunks, fenced backyards and narrow side gates push a job toward the upper end. The price drops when we grind it on the same day as the tree removal.
Our usual target is half a foot to a foot under the lawn, which gives new grass seed or sod plenty of soil to root into. Planning to plant a sapling or a flower bed there? Ask, and the grinder goes lower.
They do. An ash that died from emerald ash borer can leave a trunk base two or three feet across, and chewing through that takes a heavier grinder and a longer afternoon. Your quote will reflect the size.
We use mats and pick the shortest path to the stump. There may be some light marks on the grass, but they usually recover within a few weeks.
The grinder chews up the stump plus the thick roots flaring out right beside it. Thin roots reaching toward the fence are left behind, and they slowly rot away in the clay.
A stump-free yard is usually a one-visit job. Tell us how many stumps you have and roughly how wide they are, and we will send back a price. Call (647) 370-3584, or return to our home page to fill in the form.
Here is everything else we handle for Downsview yards.
Tree trimming and pruning keeps a yard tree light enough to ride out strong wind on open, flat ground. We shape the crown, clear branches off the roof and wires, and remove weak limbs before they break, with every job fully insured.

Dead branch removal gets grey, snapped and leafless wood out of the crown while the weather is calm, instead of waiting for a gust to throw it at shingles, windshields or the front steps. Our crew cuts them back to healthy wood, lowers each piece with ropes, and takes the debris away, and the whole job is covered by insurance.

Emergency storm damage cleanup removes fallen trees, snapped trunks and hanging limbs after high winds, heavy snow or ice. Our crew lifts trunks off shingles and car hoods, opens the driveway and secures what is left standing. Every call is insured.

Tree removal takes down trees that are dead, dying, badly leaning or too close to the house to keep. Cutting happens in measured pieces, tight spots get rope lowering, and cleanup is included. Insurance backs the entire removal.

Crown thinning and canopy reduction cut the weight a big tree has to hold up when wind sweeps across open Downsview lots. Thinning opens gaps inside the canopy, and reduction trims the tallest and widest limbs back to side branches. Both are fully insured.

Tree cabling and bracing supports weak joints in a tree so the stems do not split apart in heavy wind. Steel lines go in near the top of the crown, and rods may pass through a cracked fork. Insurance covers it all.
