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.

Stump services in Courtenay

One stump or twenty — most residential jobs are done in a single visit.

Single & Multiple Stumps

One backyard stump or a whole row of old hedge stumps — priced fairly either way.

Below-Grade Grinding

Standard 6–12" below grade — deep enough to seed lawn or replant over top.

Root Flare & Surface Roots

We chase the flare and surface roots so nothing lumps up through the grass later.

Cleanup & Haul-Away

Grindings backfilled and raked smooth, or chipped and hauled away if you'd rather.

Why grind that stump

A stump never gets better on its own. These are the reasons homeowners call us.

01

Replanting & landscaping

Clear the way for a new tree, garden bed, fence line, or that patio you've been planning.

02

Trip hazards & safety

Kids, guests, and lawnmowers all find stumps the hard way. Gone is safer.

03

Reclaiming lawn space

Turn a dead stump and its weedy ring back into grass you can actually mow.

Regrowth & pests

Maple and alder stumps sucker back, and rotting wood invites carpenter ants. Grinding ends both.

Local knowledge

We know Courtenay stumps

The trees

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.

The access

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.

Utilities & safety

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.

Common questions

How much does stump grinding cost in Courtenay?+

Most residential stumps run $100–$400 each depending on diameter and access, with discounts for multiples. Text us a photo with something for scale and we’ll usually quote it same-day.

How deep do you grind?+

6–12 inches below grade as standard — enough to seed or sod over. Deeper on request if you're replanting a tree in the same spot.

What happens to the grindings?+

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.

Can you reach a stump in my backyard?+

Almost always. Our compact grinders fit through a standard 36" gate — tight side yards in Courtenay subdivisions are routine for us.

Do you grind the roots too?+

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.
