Stump Grinding & Tree Stump Removal
Front Range’s Top Choice for Tree Removal Service
Leftover tree stumps don’t just ruin your curb appeal; they’re tripping hazards, pest magnets, and obstacles to new growth. At Knothead Tree and Lawn Care, we provide fast, effective stump grinding services to help Front Range property owners reclaim their yards. Whether you’re prepping for replanting, expanding a lawn, or just want the eyesore gone, our certified arborists can get the job done right.
Fast Turnaround
Most stumps are removed in just one visit with minimal impact on your property. We’ll be in and out before you know it.
Safe Utility Locating
We work with Colorado 811 to locate underground utilities and ensure every grind is done safely and responsibly.
Clean Finish
We grind below grade and can backfill the hole with mulch or topsoil, leaving your landscape tidy and ready for its next chapter.

Why Homeowners Choose Stump Grinding
Old stumps and exposed roots are dangerous for kids, pets, and lawn equipment. Grinding them down restores safe, usable space.
Rotting wood invites termites, carpenter ants, and fungi, all of which can spread to healthy trees or even your home. Our stump removal works hand-in-hand with pest control to protect your landscape from unwanted invaders.
Stumps take up valuable real estate. Grinding them out opens the area for replanting, landscaping, or clean, open ground.
Our Stump Grinding Process
Before we start grinding, we survey the area and coordinate with utility marking services to identify any underground cables, pipes, or lines.
Using commercial-grade stump grinders, we reduce the stump and major root structures 6–12 inches below ground level. This depth supports lawn restoration and future landscaping projects.
Once grinding is complete, we rake up debris and can fill the hole with mulch, wood chips, or soil upon request, leaving your yard looking fresh and finished.

The Knothead crew have helped me with a few tree trimmings this spring as well as tree limb removal from snow damage, even referring me to a stump grinder for a few dead bushes. They were respectful and efficient and actually showed up when they said they would! I would recommend their services ~ 5 stars!![]()

Knothead Tree Care visited The Indian Park Schoolhouse and trimmed our huge old trees with care. They understood the need to trim the dead branches while still caring for the tree. They were fast, efficient, but most of all careful of the trees.![]()

Greg, Garrett, and Alex from Knothead did really great work removing a large 40+ year-old foxtail pine that had succumbed to a faulty watering system and extreme drought conditions. They were remarkably efficient and cleaned up everything when the job was done. We will definitely use their services again--highly recommend.![]()

I just had our trees sprayed for the second time, this company, and these people, Aaron and AJ, have saved my trees. We were told by another arborist that our trees were going to die, and there was nothing we could do about it. This company‘s arborist came out and told us what to do to save our trees, we did what he told us to do, and they did what they said they were going to do. And saved all our trees thanks again. Highly recommended. Also reasonably priced for the work they do.![]()

Stump Grinding FAQs
A: We typically grind 6–12 inches below ground level. This allows you to lay sod, replant, or landscape the area without the stump getting in the way.
A: Yes. If requested, we can grind down visible surface roots that extend from the stump to prevent regrowth or tripping hazards.
A: Yes, but we’ll backfill the hole with mulch or topsoil at your request so you’re not left with a crater in your yard.
A: Not necessarily. As long as we have clear access to the stump and any special instructions, we can perform the work while you’re away.
