Clear Your Property with Safe, Efficient Stump Removal
After a tree is removed, the stump left behind can be more than just an eyesore—it can be a hazard, attract pests, or interfere with future landscaping. At Three Pines, we offer both stump grinding and full stump removal throughout Detroit Lakes, Frazee, Pelican Rapids, Lake Park, Audubon, Vergas, Dunvilla, and nearby areas. Whether you want it gone for safety, aesthetics, or land use—we’ll take care of it quickly and professionally.
What’s the Difference Between Stump Grinding and Full Removal?
Stump Grinding: We use a powerful machine to grind the stump several inches below ground level. It’s fast, minimally invasive, and ideal for areas where you don’t need to replant immediately.
Full Stump Removal: We excavate the entire stump and root system, creating a clean slate for construction, new trees, or fresh landscaping. This method takes more effort but is ideal when future growth or leveling is important.
Not sure which is best? We’ll inspect your site and recommend the right solution based on your property and plans.

Our Stump Grinding & Removal Process
Assessment – We inspect the location and determine the depth, size, and obstacles
Grinding or Extraction – Depending on your goals, we grind below grade or fully remove the root system
Cleanup – We clear away debris and level the area unless you’d like wood chips left as mulch
Optional Add-On – Ask about topsoil leveling or reseeding services post-removal
We use compact, high-powered grinders that can maneuver into tight spaces—between homes, behind garages, or near lakefront structures. Our goal is minimal impact with maximum results.
