Stump grinding in Salt Lake City
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.

Salt Lake winters bring snow, inversions and plenty of freeze-thaw, and driveways and walks see a lot of de-icing salt.
Trees in the park strip between the sidewalk and the street are city-owned in Salt Lake City. Pruning or removing one by a private company needs a permit from SLC Urban Forestry first, (801) 972-7818.
The city treats removal of a healthy park strip tree as a last resort, and sidewalk damage alone isn't accepted as a reason. 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.
