Hi, I'm Frank.
It's hard to believe, but this business actually started as a high school senior project back in the mid-1990s, and what began as a simple idea and a basic business plan has grown over the last 20+ years into a passion for land management that is deeper than ever. Today, Frank's Stump Grinding is a local, family-owned small business, and we've spent two decades innovating, practicing, and developing methods specifically suited for our unique -and often difficult- Sierra environment.
In this town, "stump grinding" isn't always created equal. Because I am a Board-Certified Master Arborist and a Licensed General Contractor, I look at your property through a different lens than a typical equipment operator. My family and I live here, we work here, and we care about the safety and beauty of our mountain community.
What We Do (the specialist Advantage)
We specialize in removing stumps of all types, sizes, and species-especially in locations others won't touch. We've spent 20 years building highly customized gear designed to work in elevated planter boxes, on steep hillsides, and through tight 36inch back yard gates.
Beyond the grind, we provide full-service site restoration:
- Deep Clearing: We can clear deep down for new foundations or even dirt, concrete asphalt, and obstructions in the way.
- Replanting Preparation: We can masticate or till an area or even dig a tree hole exactly where the old one was, making your space ready for new life immediately.
- Fire Safety & Compliance: We excel at Cal Fire Defensible Space inspections and insurance company compliance. We don't just grind we help protect your home from wildfire.
- The Full Clean-Up: From pine needle removal to hauling away every bit of debris, we leave your property cleaner than we found it.
