Surface Root Grinding

Those roots running across your lawn that scalp the mower and trip everyone up? We grind them flush so the ground sits level again.

Smooth out the roots taking over your lawn

Mature maples, elms, and poplars love to send roots right along the surface. Over time they hump up through the grass, scalp your mower blades, and make a yard impossible to walk or play on. We grind those surface roots down flush with the soil so the lawn mows clean and sits level.

Where surface root grinding helps

  • Roots humping up through the lawn near big trees
  • Tripping hazards along walkways and play areas
  • Spots where the mower keeps scalping
  • Prepping an area for fresh topsoil and seed

Done with the tree in mind

We grind the surface roots without taking the whole root system that a healthy tree still needs. If you are unsure how much can safely come down, we will take a look and give you a straight answer.
