Root & Gone is Chattanooga's stump-only grinding crew. No tree work, no landscaping, no lawn care — one machine, one job, priced by the diameter and ground below grade. Most stumps take under an hour.
SAME-DAY GRINDING
One specialty, done completely: the stump, the surface roots, and the cleanup. Measure across the widest point, including the root flare — that's your price tier.
From $95
Up to 12″ across — dogwoods, crape myrtles, and Bradford pears. Most are gone in about 20 minutes.

13–24″ — the everyday maple, cherry, or pine left behind by a removal crew. Our most common call.
Book this grind →From $245

For a tree company, your stump is the chore at the end of somebody else's job — squeezed in when the chipper's already loaded. We built a whole business around that one chore, so we do it faster, cheaper, and cleaner.
Measure your stump across its widest point — root flare included — and find your tier. That's the price we quote, and the price you pay.
"Two tree companies told me the stump would 'get worked in' for three weeks. Root & Gone ground it the same afternoon I called, for less than either quote."
"Texted a photo of the stump with my boot next to it at breakfast. Had a firm price by 9, and it was chips by Friday. Easiest contractor experience I've had."
"Five stumps from a lot we cleared, all discounted after the first one. They raked everything level and my yard guy says you can't tell where they were."
"The grinder fit through my little back gate and didn't leave a single rut. Ground the stump deep enough that we planted a dogwood in the same spot this spring."
"A root was lifting my sidewalk and the grandkids kept tripping on it. Ground down and leveled in half an hour. Should have called two summers ago."
"Storm dropped a poplar and left a root ball taller than my fence. They answered on the second ring and had it ground the same day. Fair price, zero drama."
This page isn't a brochure — it's a booking machine. Every feature below exists to turn a Chattanooga homeowner who's tired of mowing around a stump into a grind on this week's route.
Stumps get noticed on Saturday, mid-mow. The booking form takes the job while the phone's off — that's a grind a competitor's voicemail lost.
The number sits at the top, the bottom, and one thumb-tap away everywhere between. A homeowner standing over a stump doesn't go hunting for it — every extra tap costs calls.
480+ reviews sit right beside the booking buttons, not buried on a testimonials page. Trust placed at the moment of choice turns a maybe into a booked grind.
Small stumps, monster oaks, surface roots — Hixson, Ooltewah, Signal Mountain — each service and each town gets its own way in, so Google sends the right homeowner to the right price.
The chat in the corner answers the 9 PM shopper measuring a stump by flashlight — capturing the lead the phone never hears about, and booking it before morning.
Text a photo of the stump with a boot beside it for scale, and the published by-diameter price list makes the quote instant and exact — no site-visit dance, no range that doubles at the door.
Outside the route? Call anyway — a big enough stump is worth the drive, and we'll tell you straight if it's not.
By diameter — measure (or we measure) across the stump at its widest point, root flare included. Small stumps up to 12″ run $95–145, mediums $145–245, larges $245–375, and the 37″+ monsters $375–550. Every stump after the first on the same visit is 40% off, and the number we quote is the number on the invoice.
Standard is 8–12 inches below grade — deep enough to lay sod, seed grass, or pour concrete over. Tell us you're replanting a tree in the same hole and we'll go deeper and clear more root so the new tree has room to grow.
Your call, made before we start. Most folks keep them — fresh chips make great mulch for beds and paths. Or for a flat $49 we rake them out, haul them off, and backfill the hole with topsoil so you can seed the same week. Either way, we rake the spot level before we leave.
We call TN 811 before every grind and wait for the marks — gas, water, electric, fiber. It's free, it's the law, and it means we know exactly how deep we can go where. If you've got a sprinkler line or invisible-fence wire, point it out and we'll hand-dig around it.
Almost always. Our grinder is a self-propelled track machine that fits through a standard 36-inch gate and rides on wide tracks that won't rut a wet lawn. Tight side yard, hill, or fenced pool area — send a photo and we'll tell you honestly before we come out.
Most single stumps take 20–45 minutes once we're set up. Call by noon and same-day grinding is on the table most days; after storms we run a storm list and triage trip hazards first. Multi-stump yards are usually finished in one visit.
The phone rings on the truck, not in a call center. Texting a photo of your stump is the fastest way to a firm price.
