Because “just leave the stump” was a terrible idea.
That pesky stump mocking you from the middle of your lawn? Yeah, we see it. Whether it’s what’s left after a recent tree removal or it’s been sitting there for years, Chip It Guy provides stump grinding in Guelph to make it disappear safely, quickly, and cleanly.
If the tree still needs to come down first, we also provide small tree and shrub removal.
Our commercial-grade stump grinder chews through even the toughest stumps, grinding them 8–12 inches below ground level so the root system is no longer in the way. The wood chips stay neatly on site, creating a small mound that naturally settles over time.
Our main grinder fits through 36-inch gates, making backyard access straightforward for most properties. If things get tight, we have smaller equipment available when needed.
We’re fully insured, friendly, and freakishly efficient. And if we miss a spot, we’ll come back — no charge. That’s our No-Stump-Left-Behind Guarantee.

How We Price Stump Grinding Jobs
Our stump grinding services start at $200 +HST within our primary service area, including Guelph. But let’s be honest — not every stump is created equal.
Every job is unique, so your stump removal estimate depends on the details — stump size, how many you’ve got, and how easy they are to access. Send us a few photos, and we’ll get you a custom quote fast — no guessing, no surprises.
Here’s what affects pricing:
- How many stumps need grinding or removal
- The diameter of each stump at the base (including the root flare)
- Rocks, metal, or surprises lurking around the stump
- Tree species and age (some wood types are tougher and take longer to grind)
- Access and terrain (tight spaces or slopes can take a little longer)
- Whether you're inside our primary service area
We’ll walk you through every step so you know exactly what to expect — clear, upfront, and no rental headaches required.
How to measure your tree stump
Proper Measurement = Accurate Estimate
Be sure to measure the diameter of the stump at the widest part of the exposed root flare. If we arrive and it’s significantly larger than expected, your estimate may need to be adjusted on site.

Answers to the most common stump grinding and stump removal questions
How do I measure my stump for an estimate?
Measure the widest part of the stump at ground level, including the root flare.
Accurate measurements are essential for estimating both the cost and the time required for your stump grinding. If the measurement is significantly off, we may need to requote or reschedule your service to ensure we allocate the right time and equipment for the job.
Can you grind exposed roots too?
Yes, we can grind exposed surface roots as part of your stump grinding service.
Grinding roots helps smooth the ground and prevents mower damage. Just mention it when you request your estimate so we can include it in the quote.
How much clearance do you need to access the stump?
Our main stump grinder fits through a 36-inch gate or opening.
If your space is tighter, we have a smaller machine for limited access areas — it’s slower but gets the job done when needed.
How far down do you grind?
We grind stumps 8–12 inches below ground level on average.
That’s deep enough to remove the root crown and prepare the area for replanting, soil, or sod.
Will your equipment damage my lawn or property?
Our tracked stump grinder is designed to minimize lawn damage and surface impact.
We lay down plywood sheets to protect your grass while moving the grinder into place and use a chip deflection screen to keep woodchips away from vehicles, windows, and neighbours. Safety and lawn preservation are part of the job. The woodchips stay on-site after grinding — contained neatly where the stump was.
Will you remove the mulch after grinding?
We leave the mulch (wood chips) on-site after stump grinding.
The leftover chips help fill the hole and make great natural material for garden beds or ground cover. Removing it requires extra equipment and a separate trip, so most homeowners keep it — and their gardeners thank them for it.
What’s included in the stump grinding estimate?
Each stump grinding estimate includes professional stump grinding, utility locates, fuel, insurance, and cleanup of surface debris.
Woodchips are left on-site and neatly piled to help fill the hole after grinding. Chip removal is not included, as it requires separate equipment and additional cost. There are no hidden fees or rental add-ons — just clear, professional service and accurate pricing.
What is your “No-Stump-Left-Behind” Guarantee?
If we miss a spot, we’ll return at no additional charge.
We guarantee that every stump included in your original stump grinding estimate will be fully ground — typically 8–12 inches below grade. If any part of a listed stump remains, we’ll come back and complete the job at no cost. Our goal is for you to feel confident in both the service and the results.

I reached out to Dion and asked for a quote to remove a massive stump he did his best to give an estimate based on what i provided. When he showed up he was in shock by the size of the stump and without hesitation proceeded to go after this thing. He was prepared, on time, communicated well and most impressive of all he honored his word and quote. It took him almost 3 hours and I got 4 yards of mulch from this thing. after dealing with dozens of trades over the last 2 years i have to say Dion is by far the most impressive and professional person i have come across. I would recommend him to anyone looking to get a great job done which exceptional service.
