About Razorback Stump Removal

Razorback Stump Removal offers a specialized stump-grinding service throughout the Chicago Northwest suburbs and beyond. Using a modern grinder, our equipment can reach seemingly inaccessible places to grind any size stump down from 6 to 12 inches below the surface. You can then use the ground for normal gardening or landscaping, and you can even use the mulch produced from the process to fertilize your newly reclaimed area!

Hugh was professional and responsible. Very busy with many customers but it says a lot about quality of his work. He did great job on my yard removing and grinding stumps. Friendly and easy to work with. Would hire him again in a jiffy!

Razorback did a great job grinding a stump in my backyard. Hugh was responsive with his texts, was on time, did great work and was fairly priced. On top of all that, when I talked with Hugh he was very understanding about not driving his equipment over my septic field. I wouldn’t hesitate using Razorback again.

From the time I messaged him to the time he came and did the job was under an hour. Can’t beat that

Got rid of a large and troublesome stump we had in our yard for us! The work was great, but you'll have to clean up all of the chips and dirt afterwards. That said, it makes great compost if you have a compost bin! I'd recommend them if you don't mind some cleanup after!

Hugh is a genius operator- arrived on time - was able to maneuver his machine within tight quarters- 36 inches wide and complete the job in an efficient manner! Highly recommend this pro ! Great at what he does ! Thanks again for the help !

GREAT experience with Razorback and Thumbtack! Hugh communicated via phone and text and his quote was very reasonable. Hugh came by this morning (nice guy btw) and using his grinding machine, he easily pulverized the stump and its roots at least 10"down in the ground. I live in Chicago and I was concerned the machine not fit thru our 36" gate. It did. Cool little machine! After grinding up the stump and roots, he filled the hole with grindings and cleaned up using a blower to remove any wood chips off the sidewalk and pavers. The wood chip grindings were very small and I utilized them for compost around my plants. I loved that tree. Below is one of the last pictures I have of it.
