Robbinsdale is a compact first-ring suburb on the northwest edge of Minneapolis, built mostly between the 1920s and 1950s around Crystal Lake and the West Broadway downtown. The lots are smaller than the outer suburbs and the trees are old, which is a combination that produces a lot of stump work as the original canopy reaches the end of its life.
We grind the stump below grade and clean up after ourselves, whether it is a single boulevard tree or a couple in the back yard. Free estimate, no deposit, paid when the work is done.

Why Get Rid of Your Tree Stumps?
A stump in your yard isn't just an eyesore. The longer it sits, the more it complicates the property, and the case for grinding is stronger than most people realize.
Sucker Growth and Nutrient Drain
A stump left in the ground doesn't always stay dormant. Many species send up suckers, small shoots that turn into volunteer trees if left unmanaged. These pull nutrients from the surrounding soil and can outcompete the lawn, garden plants, or any new tree you'd want to plant. Removing the stump stops the cycle at the source.
Trip Hazards and Lawn Damage
Stumps are notorious for ruining mower blades and twisting ankles. Hidden in tall grass or under fallen leaves, a stump becomes a real safety risk for kids, pets, and anyone working in the yard. As the stump rots, sinkholes can develop in the surrounding soil, sometimes years after the tree came down.
Insect and Fungal Concerns
A decaying stump is a habitat for carpenter ants, termites, and beetles. In Robbinsdale, that habitat can spread to nearby healthy trees, garden plants, and even structures over time. Grinding the stump below grade removes the habitat and reduces the local disease pressure on the rest of your yard.

Grind
Crew arrives with the right equipment for your lot. Compact grinder that narrows down to about 36 inches for tight access, full-size for open driveways, mid-size for jobs in between. We grind 4 to 8 inches below grade as standard, deeper on request.
- 4
Cleanup
Grindings are raked into a neat pile and we sweep the work area before we leave. If you'd rather have them spread as mulch across the yard or hauled off-site, both are available as add-ons for a flat fee.
What to Expect After We Leave
You'll have a depression where the stump was, filled with grindings 4 to 8 inches deep depending on how deep we ground. Grindings settle over two to three months as they decompose. If you're planning to plant grass or sod, wait for the settle to finish first, or request haul-away and bring in fresh topsoil. If you're planting a new tree in the same spot, wait at least six months and then dig out the remaining grindings before planting. We can advise on timing based on your specific plan.

Alexander & Kayla Sagal
Wow! They came so fast and helped us get our sod project back on track. They grinded 3 stumps in no time at all and the bid came in exactly as another company that couldn't do it for 5 more days. Great service, would recommend!
Kelly Knaus
They've been a fantastic service provider for years, both at my own homes and for clients' properties. The process is incredibly easy. They show up, get the job done well, and make payment simple with easy one-click options when the work is complete. Reliable, convenient, and consistently great quality work every time.
Roxanne Anderson
We had two stumps removed by ByeBye Stumps. Communication was great, they handled getting the utilities marked and cleaned up any dirt on the driveway and street afterwards, a nice touch. I got three estimates and they were reasonably priced. I will recommend them to family and friends. Thank you Lucas and Chris.
Robbinsdale Stump Grinding FAQs
Can you grind a boulevard ash stump after the city takes the tree down?
Yes. Boulevard ash grinding programs vary by city and can run slow, so homeowners often hire us directly to get the stump out sooner. Standard grind is 4 to 8 inches below grade, ready for sod. If you're planning to plant a replacement tree, let us know. That takes a deeper grind for an additional fee, since a standard hole isn't deep enough for a healthy root system.
How do I get a quote?
Text or email a photo of the stump along with a rough measurement of the diameter, or fill out the quote form with a few details about your property. Most quotes come back the same day.
Do you grind close to the foundation of the house?
Yes. We can grind close to foundations and other obstacles as long as we have enough room to get the machine into position, and we typically get within 6 inches of the object.
What happens to the wood chips?
Grinding leaves a pile of wood chips. You can keep them as mulch or have them spread back into the hole. Hauling them off-site is available as an add-on for a flat fee.
Do you grind in winter?
Yes, when the ground is frozen solid (typically January through mid-March). Frozen ground actually makes for cleaner grinding with less surface disturbance. A few services aren't available in winter: stumps embedded in rock (the rock is frozen in place), grinding-chip cleanup or disposal (chips can't be raked through snow), and topsoil installation (black dirt isn't available in the winter months).
