Stump Grinding & Stump Removal in Peterborough & the Kawarthas

The Kawarthas are famous for granite — Canadian Shield rock that surfaces across the cottage country around Stoney, Chemong and Pigeon Lakes, and shows up as buried boulders even in the sandy-loam lots closer to Peterborough and Lindsay. That combination of rock, tree roots and shoreline slope is exactly why a dedicated stump grinder beats a DIY rental every time. Around Lakefield and along the Trent-Severn Waterway, we grind birch, red maple and cedar stumps right down below grade so the yard stays walkable for cottage guests and lawn equipment alike.

In-town work in Peterborough, Lindsay and Millbrook tends to be tidy residential and conservation-area edges — established maples and oaks giving way to a stump in the middle of a backyard. Rural Selwyn, Norwood and Kawartha Lakes acreages bring bigger jobs: cleared lots, fence lines and woodlots where homeowners want the land usable again. Wherever you are in the region, pricing stays the same and fully transparent: $10 per inch of cumulative stump diameter with a $300 minimum. Call or text (365) 360-4973 for a free quote, or send photos of your stumps and we'll price it fast.
