Stump Grinding in Los Gatos

Los Gatos stump grinding finishes removals in town and in the foothills — below grade so you can reseed, gravel, or plant without a leftover dome.

In Los Gatos that often means oak, redwood, bay, liquidambar, and orchard leftovers. Downtown Los Gatos, Broadway, Blossom Hill, and the Lexington-side foothills are different jobs. In town it is parked streets and neighbors. In the hills it is oaks, redwoods, and access. We have done both since 2000 and we quote from photos so you are not surprised on the day.

In-town jobs fight for street space. Foothill jobs fight grade, length of hose, and turning radius. Send a driveway photo — it changes the quote more than people think.
