Stump Removal
An old tree stump does more than look bad — it’s a tripping hazard, a magnet for pests, and a constant reminder of a job half-finished. Pikesville Tree Service provides professional stump removal and stump grinding across Baltimore County, Baltimore City, and surrounding Maryland counties. We handle stumps of any size, in any location, with equipment that gets the job done cleanly and completely.
Stump Grinding vs. Full Stump Removal
Most homeowners aren’t sure whether they need stump grinding or full stump removal. Here’s the simple breakdown:
Stump Grinding is our most popular option. We use a commercial-grade grinder to reduce the stump 4–6 inches below ground level, turning it and the upper root system into woodchips. The woodchips are spread over the cavity, where they’ll naturally decompose into rich soil within 1–2 years. This is faster, more affordable, and minimally disruptive to the surrounding lawn.
Full Root Removal goes deeper — grinding out the entire root system. This is the right choice if you’re planning to build a structure, install a patio, or plant a new tree in the same spot. Let us know your plans during the estimate and we’ll recommend the right approach.
We Remove Stumps Anywhere on Your Property
No stump is too awkward for us to handle. We regularly remove stumps:
- On steep or sloped terrain
- Within inches of fences, walls, and foundations
- Near swimming pools, driveways, and hardscaping
- In tight backyards with limited equipment access
- On large commercial lots and multi-acre properties
Our equipment and crew are trained for precision work — we won’t damage what’s around the stump to get to it.
Why us?
Pikesville Tree Service can remove any size tree stump. We can remove your stump when we cut down your tree or you can call us at a later date for stump removal. We can remove any unsightly stump from anywhere on your property, whether it’s located on a sloped hill or wedged in a narrow surrounding.
Your intentions for the area where the stump is removed will determine the how the stump is be removed. This includes how wide and deep to grind the tree stump roots. Let our estimator know what your plans are for the area so we can give you your best option; whether that’s leaving wood chips for mulch or hauling them away

Our Stump Removal Process
1. Free On-Site Estimate One of our estimators visits your property, assesses the stump size and location, and gives you a clear, upfront quote. No surprises.
2. Same-Day or Scheduled Service We can often complete stump grinding the same day as your tree removal, or schedule a standalone appointment at your convenience.
3. Grinding & Cleanup Our commercial stump grinder reduces the stump to below grade. We spread the resulting woodchips to fill the cavity — or, for an additional fee, we remove the woodchips entirely, backfill with topsoil, and cover with grass seed and straw so your lawn heals cleanly.
