Stump grinding and removal wipe out old stumps below the surface so the spot can be planted, paved or turned back into lawn. Our grinders fit through narrow side gates, and we rake the chips and clean the area when we finish. The work is fully insured.
Stumps are common in Mimico yards because so many ash trees were removed after the emerald ash borer moved through. An old stump left in place tends to push up suckers, draws in ants and rot fungi, and blocks plans for a patio or fence.
The narrow side yards on these streets are the main challenge. We bring compact machines that roll through a gap as small as about three feet, and we lay down boards to protect lawns and walkways on the way in.
Stump grinding costs in Toronto usually start around $150 and go up with the width of the stump and how hard it is to reach. Grouping a few stumps into one trip lowers what each one costs.
Standard depth is six to twelve inches under grade, plenty for seed or fresh sod. Planning a new tree or a deck footing there? Tell us and the grinder goes further down.
Wider stumps take more time, and some hardwoods grind slowly. Most residential stumps are done in under an hour, though a very large one can take a few.
We protect the lawn with boards or mats, and the grinder only disturbs the ground right around the stump. The leftover chips make decent mulch for flower beds, or they can ride away on our truck.
The grinder chews up the stump itself plus the thick root flare just under the soil. The rest of the roots stay in the ground and rot away over time, which is normal and harmless.
Count the stumps, note where they are, and let us know what you want to do with the space afterward. We will price them all at once. Phone (647) 370-3478, or go back to the home page to send the details online.

Tree trimming and pruning from Mimico Tree Service shapes a crown so it sheds wind, clears the roof and keeps its natural form. We cut at the branch collar, remove only what the tree can spare, and leave the yard swept clean. Each trim is covered by our insurance.

Crown thinning and canopy reduction let more light and wind pass through a tree and shorten limbs that have grown too long for the space. Thinning removes select inner branches, while reduction cuts long leaders back to strong side branches. Full insurance stands behind the job.

Tree cabling and bracing support weak forks and heavy limbs with steel cable and threaded rods, so a valuable tree can stay standing safely. The hardware sits high in the crown where it is barely visible from the ground. Insurance covers the work.
