Stump grinding on Ravenna residential properties
Ravenna probably has more uncleared stumps per residential block than any city we service. Most of them are from EAB removals where the crew did the tree but skipped the stump. We grind below grade, work efficiently through multiple stumps in one visit, and price the whole job rather than per stump when the volume justifies it.
“In Ravenna a single trip handles four stumps as easily as one. The cost per stump comes down a lot when you do them together.”

Stump grinding on older Ravenna properties.
Ravenna yards often have stumps from years of ash and elm removals. Some are buried under landscape rock or mulch beds, which changes how we grind them.
Working through the backlog
After years of ash and elm losses, many Ravenna properties have one or more old stumps that were never ground. Some have partly decayed into soft shells, and some are still solid. We take them down to roughly half a foot below grade, along with the major surface roots near them, so the area can be leveled and seeded.
Grinding several stumps in one visit is usually more efficient. Chips can be kept as mulch for beds or hauled away with the hole backfilled with topsoil.
Stumps under rock and mulch
It's common to find a stump that was covered with landscape rock or gravel instead of ground out. Rock is hard on grinder teeth and can be thrown, so we clear it back from the stump before grinding. If you know a stump is buried under rock or in a bed lined with stone, tell us ahead of time.
Gravel and rock piled against the base of living trees is also a problem. Ravenna's Shade Tree Commission has asked homeowners to pull gravel back from the base of trees, and it's good advice for any tree. If you're grinding a stump in a rock bed, it's a good time to look at the trees nearby too.

Common questions
Stump Grinding FAQs for Ravenna
Have a question not answered here? Call (330) 221-1617.
Can you grind a stump that's covered with landscape rock?
Yes, but we need to clear the rock first since it damages the grinder and can be thrown. Let us know about rock or stone beds ahead of time.
Should gravel be piled around the base of a tree?
No. Gravel and rock against the trunk trap moisture and damage bark. Keep it pulled back at least a foot from the base.
Can you grind a stump that's half rotted?
Yes. Soft, decayed stumps usually grind faster than solid ones.
