Whether you're dealing with century-old silver maple stumps in Old Town or clearing land for a new patio in Bucking Horse, we understand Fort Collins soil and tree types. We frequently work with homeowners in South FoCo and Fossil Creek who need precision grinding near utility lines or established fences.
Fort Collins has some of the oldest tree canopies on the Front Range — which means bigger stumps and more established root systems. We have the equipment to handle them cleanly, including machines designed for tight HOA gate access that fit through standard backyard gates without damaging your turf.
Backyard Access Specialist
Our specialized grinders are only 33 inches wide, meaning we can fit through standard backyard gates without removing fence panels. No need to take down fencing or hire a crane — we get in, grind, and get out cleanly.

Frequently Asked Questions — Fort Collins
Do you serve all of Fort Collins, including areas south of Harmony?
Yes — we cover all of Fort Collins including South FoCo, Timnath, and areas along the Harmony corridor. If you're on the edge of the service area, just ask when you call.
I have a large stump from an old cottonwood — can you handle it?
Cottonwoods and other large-diameter hardwoods are common in Fort Collins. We have the equipment to grind stumps of any size, though larger stumps take longer and are priced accordingly.
How deep do you grind?
Standard depth is 6–12 inches below grade. That's enough for lawn grass to grow back without hitting wood. If you're pouring concrete or installing a raised bed and need to go deeper, let us know.
What do I do with all the wood chips?
Many homeowners use them as mulch in flower beds — they break down into good soil over time. Or we can rake them into a pile for easier disposal. We don't haul chips away, but we leave your yard clean.
