If you need a tree service in Beaverton, our stump grinding service provides a quick, reliable way to remove unwanted stumps. Duran Tree Service LLC is a professional tree service and tree company that opens space, removes safety risks, and stops regrowth while protecting your lawn and landscape.
We grind stumps below the soil surface, leaving your property safe, tidy, and ready for new projects. It’s faster and less disruptive than full removal, whether the stump came from large trees, young trees, or several trees around the yard. This service helps address issues such as:
Safety risks
Tripping hazards
Pest problems
Root regrowth
Lost space
Lawn damage
Blocked growth
Yard obstacles
Decaying stumps
As a local tree service company providing Beaverton tree services, our stump grinding uses a powerful machine to break the stump down beneath the soil surface. It’s quicker and less disruptive than full removal because it doesn’t require digging or disturbing nearby trees and shrubs.
With our stump grinding service, roots won’t regrow, tripping hazards are eliminated, and the cleared space is ready for new landscaping or other projects. We also handle dead trees safely and prep sites for both homes and commercial properties.
It also produces mulch that can stay on site or be cleared. Grinding is ideal for homeowners seeking a clean and safe yard without the disruption of traditional removal methods.
Our expert tree services improve the appearance of your property, helps prevent structural damage, and restores use of the space where the tree once stood, all with minimal impact on your landscape. Benefits include:
Clears stumps to eliminate tripping hazards in your yard
Stops roots and stumps from sprouting back over time
Helps protect your home by reducing pest and insect activity
Opens space for new landscaping, gardens, or outdoor projects
Protects nearby plants and preserves healthy soil
Simplifies yard upkeep and makes maintenance more efficient

Our stump grinding service begins with a thorough site inspection and proper preparation before using professional-grade equipment to grind stumps well below ground level. Each project is customized to the stump’s size, location, and surrounding landscape for accurate, effective results.
After grinding, we can remove the mulch or leave it for garden use, with the option to add topsoil to level the area. Every job is handled with efficiency and respect for your property, ensuring a clean finish.
At Duran Tree Service, we use proven methods that minimize disruption, protect nearby roots and structures, and help you reclaim usable space quickly. Whether for safety, appearance, or future landscaping, we deliver reliable results every time.

Most stump grinding projects take anywhere from 30 minutes to 2 hours. The timeline depends on the size and number of stumps, the depth of the roots, the tree species, and how accessible the area is. Smaller stumps in open spaces can be removed quickly, while larger stumps or those in tight areas may take longer. If you need multiple stumps removed, expect extra time to complete the job.
Yes. Even after a hazardous tree is taken down, the stump that’s left behind can still cause problems. In the Pacific Northwest especially, wet weather speeds up decay and attracts pests. That’s why many homeowners choose stump grinding immediately after emergency tree removal. It clears the area, prevents future issues, and restores both safety and appearance.
Absolutely. Stumps left in the ground can harbor pests, develop harmful fungi, or sprout new shoots that compete with nearby trees for water and nutrients. Grinding the stump removes these risks, giving surrounding trees a healthier environment to grow stronger and remain disease-free.
