How it works
A free estimate in three steps
01
Send photos & details
Fill out the estimate form and attach photos of the stump, yard, or project area. A coin or tape measure in the photo helps us size a stump.
02
Get your free estimate
We review everything and get back to you with a clear price — no obligation. Bigger or trickier jobs may need a quick site visit, which is also free.
03
We do the work
Approve the estimate and we schedule the job. Stump ground, mess hauled, topsoil and seed down — your yard, finished.
Our specialty
Stump grinding, done completely
A stump left behind rots slowly, attracts insects, sprouts suckers, and fights your mower for years. We grind it below grade — roots and all at the surface — then you choose the finish:
- Grind only — we grind, you keep the grindings as mulch.
- Grind + removal — we haul every chip away and leave a clean hole.
- Full restoration — grindings out, topsoil in, seed or hydroseed down. Grass where the stump was.
Beyond stumps
Landscaping & hardscaping, all year
Spring cleanups and mulch, summer patios and hydroseeded lawns, fall pruning, winter plowing. One number to call, every season:
- Topsoil, grass seeding & hydro seeding
- Tree & shrub pruning, mulch installation
- Landscape design & installation
- Patios, walkways & retaining walls
- Snow plowing all winter long

Stump & tree care
Start with the stump
Stump Grinding
Our core service. We grind stumps below ground level so the area can be mowed, replanted, or built over. Our equipment handles everything from small ornamental stumps to large oaks, including stumps in fenced yards and tight side lots.
- Ground below grade — no tripping hazard, no mower damage
- Surface roots traced and ground out on request
- Cleanup of the immediate work area included
Stump Grindings Removal
Grinding a stump leaves a surprising mound of wood chips and soil. If you don't want it, we load it out and haul it away, leaving a clean, level depression ready for topsoil — no wheelbarrow weekends for you.
- Full haul-away of chips and grindings
- Pairs perfectly with topsoil + seeding for a finished lawn
Tree & Shrub Pruning
Proper pruning keeps trees healthy, shrubs shapely, and branches off your roof and driveway. We remove dead, crossing, and overgrown growth and shape ornamentals so they grow the way they should.
- Ornamental trees and shrubs
- Deadwood, clearance, and shaping cuts
- Brush and debris cleanup available
Lawn restoration
From bare dirt to green lawn
Topsoil Installation
Quality topsoil is the foundation of every good lawn. We deliver, spread, and grade topsoil to fill low spots, cover stump holes, and prep new lawn areas — smoothed and ready for seed.
- Fills stump holes and low, soggy areas
- Fine grading for smooth mowing
Grass Seeding
Traditional seeding for new lawns, overseeding thin turf, and repairing bare spots after stump work or construction. We match seed to your sun, shade, and soil so it actually takes.
- New lawns, overseeding & spot repair
- The finishing step after most stump jobs
Hydro Seeding
Seed, mulch, fertilizer, and tackifier sprayed on in one pass. Hydro seeding germinates fast, holds on slopes, and covers large areas for less than sod — ideal for new construction, big yards, and erosion-prone banks.
- Fast, even germination
- Great for slopes and large lots
- A fraction of the cost of sod
Landscape
Beds, mulch & full installs
Mulch Installation
Fresh mulch makes a property look finished overnight — and it holds moisture, suppresses weeds, and protects your plants. We edge, prep, deliver, and spread mulch to a proper, even depth.
- Bed cleanup and edging before spreading
- Residential and commercial properties
Landscape Design & Installation
Have a blank yard or a tired one? We design planting beds and landscape features that fit your home, your light, and your maintenance appetite — then install them start to finish: plants, stone, mulch, and all.
- Design matched to your property and budget
- Full installation by our own crew
Hardscape
Stone & paver work
Patios & Walkways
A patio you actually live on, and walkways that get you there with dry feet. We build on a properly excavated, compacted base so your stonework stays flat and tight through Ohio winters.
- Patios for entertaining and everyday living
- Front and garden walkways
- Built on a real base — no sinking, no shifting
Retaining Walls
Retaining walls turn unusable slopes into level, plantable, livable yard — and stop erosion from taking your soil downhill. We build structural and garden walls with proper drainage behind them, because that's what makes a wall last.
- Structural and decorative garden walls
- Drainage built in, not added later
Winter
When the snow flies
Snow Plowing
Lake-effect snow is no joke in our four counties. Our plowing service keeps driveways and lots clear all winter, so you're not shoveling out at 6 a.m. before work. Seasonal arrangements fill up — ask early in the fall.
- Residential driveways and small lots
- Serving all four counties through the snow season
Something else in mind? The list above is what we do most — but “and more” is part of the business. Yard cleanups, bed rebuilds, drainage fixes, and odd outdoor jobs: call 440-409-3000 or send the estimate form with your project described, and we'll give you a straight answer.

About Us
A local Northeast Ohio company built around one simple idea: when the tree comes down, the job isn't finished until the stump is gone and the yard looks right.
The apple story
Why an apple?
Look close at our logo: an apple made of a leafy tree on one side and fresh-cut green on the other, a stump grinder's wheel at its heart, and a stump at its roots. That's the whole business in one picture — trees, grinding, and green, healthy yards.
Apple Stump Grinding LLC serves homeowners and property owners across Lake, Ashtabula, Cuyahoga, and Geauga Counties. Stump grinding is our name and our specialty, but our customers asked for more — so today we also restore lawns with topsoil, seeding, and hydro seeding; prune trees and shrubs; install mulch and full landscapes; build patios, walkways, and retaining walls; and plow snow all winter.
One call, every season: 440-409-3000.
- Free estimates — send photos right from this site
- Complete stump jobs: grind, haul, topsoil, seed
