Stump Grinding in Pittsburgh & Western PA
Get rid of stumps for good. We grind stumps down to the root — leaving your yard, pasture, or clearing site clean, level, and ready to use.
The Problem: Stumps Are More Than an Eyesore
Tree stumps left in the ground cause real problems. They're a tripping hazard, a mowing obstacle, and a magnet for insects and rot. On farm properties, stumps in fields and pastures damage equipment and make land unusable. On residential lots, they take up valuable space and drag down curb appeal. And if you've had trees cleared, stumps left behind mean the job isn't really done.
The Solution: Professional Stump Grinding
SHS Land Clearing uses commercial stump grinding equipment to remove stumps completely — grinding them down below the surface so the area is level, clean, and ready for whatever comes next. Whether you have one stump or fifty, we get them out efficiently and leave the site clean. We serve residential yards, farm fields, cleared lots, and everything in between.

Frequently Asked Questions
How much does stump grinding cost in Pittsburgh PA?
Stump grinding costs in the Pittsburgh area typically run $75–$200 per stump depending on size, species, and access. Multiple stumps are often discounted. We offer free on-site estimates — call (412) 721-6164 for a straight price.
How deep do you grind the stumps?
We grind stumps down 6–12 inches below the surface — deep enough that the area is level, safe to walk on, and ready for seeding or grading. If you need deeper grinding for construction or paving, let us know and we'll accommodate.
What happens to the stump grindings?
Stump grindings can be left on-site as a natural mulch that will break down over time, or we can haul them away. We'll discuss your preference at the estimate.
Can you grind stumps in tight spaces or near structures?
Yes. We have equipment suited for tight spaces, including areas near fences, buildings, and landscaping. We'll assess access during the free estimate and use the right machine for the job.
Do you grind stumps on farm properties and large acreage?
Absolutely. Farm stump grinding is one of our most common jobs. We handle fields, pastures, fence lines, and cleared areas — any volume, any terrain. We can combine stump grinding with land clearing or brush removal to complete the full job in one visit.
Will the stump grow back after grinding?
Grinding removes the stump and the majority of the root system. Most species will not regrow after proper grinding. Some species like black locust may send up sprouts from remaining roots, but this is manageable with follow-up treatment.
