A leftover stump is a trip hazard, a mower hazard and a spot you cannot plant or pave over. As it rots it can draw termites and fungus, and some trees keep pushing up shoots from the roots.
Grinding it out ends all of that and gives you the space back. Stump grinding in Chandler is a far tidier job than digging a stump out by hand through caliche.
Ready when you areReady to get rid of that stump? CGL Landscaping handles stump grinding in Chandler, Gilbert, Mesa and across the East Valley, and we can leave the spot ready for new sod, desert rock or a fresh tree. Book a free on-site estimate or call (480) 219-0038.
Six of the most common stump jobs we take on across Chandler and the East Valley. Some are fresh, and some have been sitting for years.
Mesquite, palo verde, eucalyptus and palm stumps all grind differently. Hardwood stumps take longer, palm stumps are fibrous, and every one of them gets ground below grade.
The eyesore by the driveway or sidewalk, ground out so the front looks finished.
Stumps in narrow yards and gravel beds reached through the gate.
Old palm trunks ground down so the spot can be planted or covered.
Stumps from a removal years ago that are still in the way.
Grinding several stumps in one trip costs less per stump. Point them all out when we visit.
Irrigation lines, valves and low voltage wiring often run right past an old stump. We look at the stump, the roots, the lines around it and how we get the grinder to it, then give you a written price per stump.
Before grinding, we mark what we can find and ask what you know about the yard. Deeper utility lines need to be located before any digging, and we will walk you through that if it applies.
Most single stumps take a short visit. Several stumps or large ones take longer, and you will know which before we start.
A stump grinder uses a spinning cutting wheel to chew the wood into chips, working back and forth across the stump and down below the surface. It leaves the lawn and beds around it far less torn up than digging.
We check each stump, its size and the access.
Irrigation and wiring near the stump found and marked.
Stump and surface roots ground below grade.
Grindings and soil packed in and leveled.
Area raked, hardscape blown off, ready for cover.
A ground out stump leaves a patch of soil that can take almost anything. We can plant a new tree nearby, lay sod to match the lawn or cover it with rock so it blends into the bed.
If you plan to plant in the same spot, tell us first. Wood chips tie up nitrogen in the soil as they break down, so we clear more of the grindings and bring in fresh soil where a new tree is going in.
Stump grinding is priced per stump after we see each one in person. These four things drive the number.
A small palm stump in an open front yard and a wide mesquite stump with roots running toward a Chandler patio are very different amounts of grinding. Adding more stumps to the same visit brings the cost of each one down.
A wide trunk takes much longer to grind than a small one.
Big surface roots running across the yard add grinding time.
An open front yard is faster than a stump behind a narrow gate.
Leaving it as soil costs less than adding sod or rock afterward.

Small jobs say a lot about a company. Showing up for one stump and leaving the yard clean is the same standard we bring to a full landscape project.

Best landscapers I’ve ever had! I live in an HOA with very strict rules and they did an absolutely fabulous job. So thankful to have found them. Each of their employees are extremely hard working and even go above and beyond wiping off patio furniture and making every part of the front/backyard presentable. Can’t wait to see them again!Posted on Google![]()

We’ve been working with CGL for nearly a year now, and they’ve been incredible. They helped us get our irrigation system back on track after our previous landscaper severely dropped the ball. Additionally, anytime we had an emergency leak, they were on-site within a few hours at most. Their responsiveness, professionalism, and quality of work have been outstanding. It's also nice to work with someone like Jose and can answer all of your questions and explain everything in such detail to ensure you understand the issue(s) at hand. Highly recommend!Posted on Google![]()

I recently hired CGL Landscaping for sod installation at my home in Phoenix, and they did a fantastic job. From the initial consultation to the final touches, their professionalism and expertise were evident. They prepared the soil and installed high-quality, lush sod that transformed my yard. CGL Landscaping's attention to detail and customer service set them apart. They ensured proper irrigation, provided aftercare instructions, and even followed up to check on the sod's progress. The project was completed on time and within the estimated timeframes Overall, I'm extremely satisfied with CGL Landscaping. Their commitment to quality and outstanding customer service have earned my trust and future business. I highly recommend them for any landscaping needs in the Phoenix area.Posted on Google![]()

CGL Landscaping has been great to work with. We reached out to Jose to get an estimate for a one time clean up and monthly service. Jose and Alan showed up the next day to provide an estimate for both services. We elected to move forward with CGL and the clean up crew was out the following day to complete services. Two weeks later, the monthly maintenance crew showed up to complete our first monthly service. Invoicing and payment is easy through an online portal. Jose and Alan were both responsive throughout the process and were accessible via text, email or phone call. So far we are very pleased with our services through CGL and would recommend them to anyone looking for landscaping services.Posted on Google![]()

CGL landscaping made the process super easy from start to finish. Jose came out quickly to give me a proposal and I got it the same day. Scheduling was also very easy, and my project was done on time. Would recommend CGL to anyone if you’re looking for great work and great customer service.Posted on Google![]()

I used to use another landscaping company and they never did the job right, along with that the communication was not there, never got returned calls and it was impossible to reach someone. Then I found CGL Landscaping. They were quick to come out for a free estimate and communication was always and still there. One of the office workers, Alan, is always there to answer and if he doesn't, he is quick to respond. Thank you CGL for 3 great years and many more to come!Posted on Google![]()

SUPER TOP NOTCH COMPANY Best experience, Jose was kind and understanding of my situation. I had LNR landscaping put in synthetic turf in my front yard, did a horrible job. After months of trying to get them to come back, after they’ve been paid in full to fix it. They stopped returning phone calls , never kept set appointments to come and fix it. I called Jose and they blew me away, they came right away, crew was all friendly and got the job done quickly. They went above and beyond I was just thinking they to fix what was there but the job was so bad they removed it all and replaced the whole area. Definitely will recommend to everyone I know. Thanks Jose and team that came today you made my nightmare a beauty that I can now enjoy when I walk out my door.Posted on Yelp![]()

I worked with Jose and his team and found them to be professional, courteous and trustworthy. My yard looks amazing. Jose was patient with me as I made a few changes from my original design. The trees they planted are looking healthy as well as the flower bed, Jose offered to provided care to my front yard and it turned out awesome. He also offered to made a nice area for my dog it turned out great. My plan is to continue with CGL Landscaping for maintenance. Thank you Jose for a job well done.

I rarely, if ever, write reviews let alone give someone a 5-star rating unless they REALLY deserve it. We interviewed 4 landscaping companies before we selected Creative Green Landscaping. We chose them because they were very knowledgeable, and made us feel comfortable from our very first meeting. Jose (the owner) made it clear that our satisfaction was their number one goal. He definitely followed through and they did a beautiful job. They started the work immediately and throughout the project they showed up early and stayed late. They worked hard and provided quality work. When we decided last minute to make changes, they were flexible and helpful. We have had our fair share of negative contractor experiences, so we appreciate good and honest firms like Creative Green Landscaping. We highly recommend them for your project.Load more
Not answered here? Ask while we are out looking at the stump. Nothing is charged for that visit.
These are the stump grinding questions Chandler homeowners ask most. They come down to depth, grindings, palm stumps and regrowth.
Grinding takes the stump down below the surface and leaves the deep roots to break down in the soil. Pulling the whole root ball out is far more digging and disruption, and most yards do not need it.
Deep enough for what you plan to put there. A spot getting rock or sod needs less depth than a spot where a new tree is going in, so tell us the plan and we grind to suit it.
We can use them to help fill the hole, spread them as mulch or haul them away. Most people have us top the hole with soil so it can be planted or covered.
Yes. Palm stumps are fibrous rather than woody, but they grind down and the spot can be reused like any other.
Most trees will not regrow once the stump is gone. A few kinds send up shoots from the remaining roots for a while, and those are easy to cut back.
Yes. Old stumps are often softer from rot and grind down easily. The age of the stump does not stop us.
Grinding stumps for homes and businesses from Chandler to Tempe, Mesa and Queen Creek. Gilbert, Ahwatukee and San Tan Valley are covered too.
Old stumps are everywhere in the East Valley, left behind by builders, monsoon storms and past removals. We grind them out across Maricopa County the same way every time.
Grinding is only half of it. Once the stump is gone you decide what the spot turns into, and we can handle that too.
Rock is the quickest finish in a desert yard. Sod or a new tree needs more of the grindings cleared and better soil brought in, and we plan the grind depth around which one you choose.
Hole filled and leveled, ready for you to plant later.
A single stump matters to the person tripping over it. We are a Chandler family business, and we give a one stump visit the same care as a full yard.
Our own crew runs the grinder, finds the lines and does the cleanup. You get one quote, one visit and a spot that is ready for whatever comes next.
Book a free visit. We will check the stump and the lines around it and give you a written price for grinding and finishing the spot.
