Your neighbours in the valley
Courtenay yards grow big trees — and when a fir or maple comes down, the stump stays behind. Whether it's blocking a new garden bed in Puntledge Park, a trip hazard on a Crown Isle lawn, or a row of old hedge stumps in East Courtenay, we grind it below grade and leave the spot ready to seed, sod, or replant.
One stump or twenty — most residential jobs are done in a single visit.
One backyard stump or a whole row of old hedge stumps — priced fairly either way.
Standard 6–12" below grade — deep enough to seed lawn or replant over top.
We chase the flare and surface roots so nothing lumps up through the grass later.
Grindings backfilled and raked smooth, or chipped and hauled away if you'd rather.
A stump never gets better on its own. These are the reasons homeowners call us.
Clear the way for a new tree, garden bed, fence line, or that patio you've been planning.

Local knowledge
Valley yards are full of big Douglas fir and cedar stumps that dull cheap rental grinders — and maple and alder stumps that sucker back if you don't grind deep enough. We've done them all, including old-growth leftovers.
Fenced backyards, narrow gates, and tight side yards are normal in Courtenay subdivisions. Our compact grinders fit through a standard 36" gate, so a backyard stump isn’t a problem.
Roots can run near gas and irrigation lines. We check with BC 1 Call where it matters and grind to a depth that’s safe for your yard — not just fast for us.

Your choice: we backfill the hole with them and rake it smooth (they settle and compost down), or we haul them away and you top up with soil.
Almost always. Our compact grinders fit through a standard 36" gate — tight side yards in Courtenay subdivisions are routine for us.
We grind the root flare and any surface roots around the stump. Long runner roots left in the ground rot away naturally and rarely cause problems.
