A ground-down stump is a great start, but thick trunks and surface roots can still ridge your lawn and get in the way. United Tree Service grinds out trunks and roots across Asheville, Hendersonville, Buncombe County, and Henderson County so the ground is truly clear. Whether it is a wide trunk left from an old removal or roots lifting your grass and hardscape, we grind the wood down below grade and leave a surface you can use.

United Tree Service
Leftover trunks and surface roots are more than an eyesore. They damage mower blades, trip people up, lift hardscapes, and can sprout new growth. Grinding them out clears the way for grass, beds, or paving and gives you back a flat, usable surface.
Grinding is faster and far less disruptive than digging roots out by hand, and it keeps the surrounding soil and landscaping intact.
