Complete Below-Grade Stump Grinding & Lawn Restoration

Old tree stumps and spreading surface roots are more than an eyesore—they damage mower blades, create tripping hazards, attract wood-boring pests, and block new fencing, sod, or landscaping. Liberty Land Services provides precision below-grade tree stump removal and grinding for homeowners, builders, commercial properties, and municipal parks across the Kansas City metro.

Using high-torque commercial stump grinding equipment that fits through standard residential yard gates while packing the power to chew through massive hardwood stumps, we grind the entire stump and flare roots below soil level. Before any grinding begins, we coordinate 811 underground utility locates so buried gas, power, fiber, and water lines remain protected.

What's Included in Our Tree Stump Removal & Grinding Scope

  • Below-Grade Stump Grinding: Grinding stumps 6 to 8 inches below grade (or 12+ inches deep when preparing for new construction, concrete, or replanting).
  • Surface & Flare Root Grinding: Chasing and grinding raised surface roots that scalp mower decks and crack adjacent walkways.
  • 811 Underground Utility Locates: Proactive coordination of Kansas and Missouri 811 utility markings before excavation or grinding begins.
  • Backyard & Tight-Access Capability: Compact, turf-friendly tracked grinding equipment capable of accessing fenced backyards through standard 36-inch gates.
  • Grindings Backfill or Complete Haul-Off: Choose between neatly backfilling the hole with mulch grindings or full haul-off of excess wood chips.

Tree Stump Removal & Grinding — Frequently Asked Questions

How deep do you grind tree stumps?

Our standard stump grind goes 6 to 8 inches below the surrounding soil grade, which is ideal for establishing thick grass turf over the spot. If you plan to pour concrete, install a fence post, or plant a new tree in the same location, let us know and we can grind 12 inches or deeper.

What happens to the wood chips and grindings after stump removal?

Stump grinding produces a mound of wood chips mixed with soil. We can either rake and mound the grindings neatly into the cavity to settle naturally as mulch, or haul away the excess chips and backfill the area with fresh topsoil and grass seed.

Can your stump grinder fit through a backyard fence gate?

Yes. Our equipment can pass through standard 36-inch residential gates while still delivering commercial grinding power for large oak, maple, ash, cottonwood, and pine stumps.

How is tree stump grinding priced?

Stump removal pricing is based on the diameter of the stump at ground level (measured across the widest point including root flare), the number of stumps on site, surface root extent, and whether you want wood chip haul-off and topsoil/seed restoration. Multi-stump discounts are available—text or email a photo to 913-213-3319 or [email protected] for a fast quote.
