Looking for tree stump removal in Nashville, TN? If you’re tired of mowing around an old stump, worried about tripping hazards, or want to stop roots from spreading under driveways and sidewalks, our professional stump removal services are the solution. Unlike simple grinding, full removal takes out the entire stump and main root ball, leaving you with a completely clear area ready for replanting, hardscaping, or fresh sod.
If you’re looking to grow a new tree exactly where the old one stood, you’ll need the stump and main roots removed. This clears space so your new tree’s roots can spread freely without competition.

We handle large, mature stumps from trees like oak, maple, hickory, and sycamore. These often have extensive, decades-old root systems that run deep and wide.

We also take care of stumps from ornamental trees like dogwood, magnolia, redbud, and crepe myrtle. Plus, we remove large, woody foundation plantings such as old boxwoods, hollies, and similar shrubs. Getting these out by the roots ensures they won’t keep sprouting or interfering with landscaping or hardscapes.
