Our Stump Grinder
  • Rayco Stump Grinder

McGuinness Tree Service uses a powerful Rayco stump grinder to handle stumps of all sizes with precision and efficiency. The Rayco’s compact, self-propelled design allows it to fit through standard 36-inch gates and maneuver in tight spaces, making it ideal for residential yards as well as larger properties. Its advanced cutting system grinds stumps below ground level, eliminating the visible stump without the need for heavy excavation. This means less lawn damage, faster results, and a cleaner finish, so your property is left smooth, safe, and ready for new landscaping.

Stump grinding is the process of using a specialized machine to grind a tree stump below ground level. Unlike full stump removal, grinding eliminates the visible portion of the stump without the need for heavy excavation.

Tree stumps can be unsightly, create tripping hazards, attract pests, and make mowing difficult. Grinding them out restores the look of your yard and makes the space safe and usable again.

 

No. Our Rayco stump grinder is self-propelled and compact, able to fit through standard gates and maneuver without tearing up your yard like bulky, tow-behind grinders often do.

 

We grind stumps several inches below the surface, removing the visible stump and leaving the ground ready for grass, plants, or new landscaping.

The cost depends on the size and number of stumps, but stump grinding is generally more affordable than full stump removal. McGuinness Tree Service provides free estimates with clear, honest pricing.

Tree Removal Client Testimonials

I was very pleased with the service and the price; the work has added to the value of my property. The crew was courteous and checked with me all along the way on whether I was ok with what was happening. Although the crew was a little "adventurous" about getting their equipment in and out of the spot they needed to be to complete the assignment, it all turned out all right. I was especially impressed with the care the crew demonstrated in working in a wetland area, which has special requirements. Would recommend the Concord crew and would have them back for additional work in the future.

Jim from Mcguinness quoted out the removal of 2 huge beach trees in my front yard here in Nottingham. After the house was built and the road carved in, the 2 nice trees did not make it. McGuinness Tree Service had a quote that was very reasonable! they are insured and not a "fly by night" "free" tree removal company. They are a real deal tree service company. The crew showed up right on time with a massive crane and took the 2 tree out no problem. Thanks Jim! Great Job. I highly recommend McGuinness Tree Service over any other tree service company, especially the "free" guys.

Had already obtained two quotes from other tree service companies when we called McGuinness Tree Service. Mr. McGuinness came out quickly to give us a quote. His price was very competitive so we went with his company. He and his crew came back the next week and removed two very large silver maple trees that were quite close to our home. He and his crew were professional, removed both trees (including all branches and debris). Would highly recommend McGuinness Tree Service.

I don't know how many trees I had taken down, but there is a lot more square footage to my yard now to say the least. I had McGuinness tree out when having tree companies out to assess the work that needed to be done. My first interaction was with Jim who was very professional and set a price. I hired them and they slated the work to be done more than four weeks out. However, only a week went by and they were able to fit our work in. The crew arrived on time and the foreman went over routes, septic and leech locations and informed me the equipment will leave marks on the lawn, but they would do their best to minimize damage. They came back out on a Saturday and completed the stump grinding. Very happy with the work done and would recommend them. Be direct with them and they will be direct with you!

On a recommendation from a family member, I hired McGuinness Tree to remove a few trees and trim back a few others around my yard in Merrimack. They did a great job and I am loving all the new sunlight my yard is receiving. My only regret is that I waited so long to open up my yard. Thanks guys, and your welcome for the donuts!

Live in Nashua, NH. Had 3 huge trees come down in the October storm in my back yard and on side of house. Was a difficult job due to living on a hill and where my driveway is in relation to the trees. Called McGuiness Tree and they came out and took care of everything. Good price and the service was great. Very straight forward and very professional. Would recommend to anyone in the area. Very happy and thankful for their work. Talked with them about taking down other trees in the spring.

McGuinness Tree Service did such a great job taking down 3 massive pines in my back yard. I called them up on a recommendation from my neighbor, and I am so glad I did! Their estimate was spot on, and very affordable. They went above and beyond to make sure there was no damage to my property. Very professional, wonderful service! Highly recommend!!

Jim came out Wednesday surveyed the tree damage from the October storm, the limbs that were hanging were 50 plus feet high, so a bucket truck was required. The next day when I came home the limbs were down and the crew was cleaning up. The work completed matched the estimate I was given and the the entire staff that I dealt with was totally professional. Will do business with them again and will also recommend them.

This is an excellent tree service that my father recommended to me. He had had some work done by them a year ago after the ice storms had brought down several tree. I recently had two huge trees removed by them that were dead and we were worried that they could come down on our home. I was able to set up an appointment with them and they came right out and took care of the job in a very short amount of time.
