Stump grinding in Reno
Stump grinding chews a stump down below ground level so you can plant, lay turf or mow over it. It's faster and much less disruptive than digging the stump and roots out.

Reno is high desert: dry, sunny and windy, with cold nights that freeze and thaw for much of the year.
Trees in Reno's planting strips and street right-of-way are city trees. Pruning, removing or treating one needs a Tree Work Permit from Reno Urban Forestry, which inspects first, and the work has to be done by a Certified Arborist.
A permit to remove a city tree is only issued if it's dead, diseased or a safety hazard. Trees on your own property are yours to manage.
Common questions
How deep does grinding go?
Typically 4–12 inches below the surface, enough for grass or planting.
Will the roots grow back?
Most species won't. A few will sucker, which the contractor can advise on.
Is stump grinding included in removal?
Not always. Ask whether the quote includes grinding and hauling away the wood.
