Clear Your Yard, Prevent Regrowth, and Improve Property Safety

Old stumps don’t just look bad — they attract pests, create tripping hazards, and can even cause new shoots to sprout where you don’t want them. At Advanced Arbor Care, we offer expert stump grinding and full removal services to eliminate those unsightly leftovers once and for all.

Serving Billings, Montana, and nearby areas, our crew handles everything from small backyard stumps to large, deeply rooted tree remnants — quickly, cleanly, and without damaging your landscape.

Why Remove a Tree Stump?
  • Leaving a stump behind may seem harmless, but over time it can:

    • Attract termites, ants, and fungi

    • Spread disease to nearby plants

    • Regrow into unwanted shoots or saplings

    • Pose a tripping hazard for kids or pets

    • Interfere with mowing or landscaping projects

    Whether you’re preparing to replant or just want a smoother lawn, stump removal is the finishing touch that makes a difference.

Our Stump Grinding & Removal Options
  • We offer two methods depending on your goals:

    1. Stump Grinding

    • Grinds the stump down 6–12 inches below the surface

    • Fast, cost-effective, and minimally invasive

    • Allows you to plant grass or flowers over the spot

    2. Full Stump Removal

    • Includes roots and all underground growth

    • Ideal for construction, replanting trees, or full regrading

    • More labor-intensive but leaves no trace

FAQs: Stump Removal & Grinding

s stump grinding better than full stump removal?

Grinding is faster and more affordable for most residential jobs. Full removal is better if you're planting a new tree in the same spot or starting construction.

Will the stump regrow if I don’t remove it?

Some tree species can regrow shoots from the stump or roots. Grinding below the surface typically prevents this — and we can apply a root inhibitor if needed.

How long does it take to remove a stump?

Most stump grinding jobs take less than an hour, depending on size and root structure. Full removals may take longer.

Do I need to be home during the removal?

Not necessarily — as long as we have access to the yard, we can complete the job and leave it clean.

What happens to the wood chips?

We can haul them away, leave them for your use as mulch, or spread them neatly on-site. Just let us know your preference
