A Stump Shouldn't Be the Thing That Stops Your Project

You've got a fence to install, a concrete pad to pour, or a footing to set — and there's a stump sitting right where the work needs to happen. It's not your job to grind it. But it needs to be gone before you can do yours.

That's exactly where BROOTFORCE STUMP Co. comes in. We work alongside fence installers, concrete contractors, tree companies, builders, and land clearing crews throughout Virginia Beach, Chesapeake, Norfolk, Portsmouth, Suffolk, Hampton, and Newport News — grinding stumps and clearing roots so your project can move forward without delay.

What We Do for Contractors

We specialize in getting stumps and surface roots out of the way fast.

That means:

Fence line clearing — grinding stumps and roots along the full run before post installation
Concrete and footing prep — removing stumps and grinding root systems to the depth your pour requires (up to 20 inches below grade if needed)
Tree company partnerships — we handle the stumps after your crew takes the tree down, so you can move to the next job
Land clearing support — multi-stump jobs on lots being prepped for construction or development
Emergency scheduling — if a stump is holding up an active job, we prioritize getting there

Equipment That Gets Into Tight Spaces

One of the most common problems contractors run into is access.

Backyard jobs, narrow side yards, gated properties — a lot of stump grinding equipment is too big to get where it needs to go.

Our machine fits through gates as small as 36 inches. We've cleared stumps in spaces that other operators couldn't reach without tearing something up to get in. If you've got a tight access situation, tell us upfront and we'll sort out the approach before we arrive.

We Grind to the Depth Your Job Requires

Standard residential grinding runs 4 to 6 inches below the surrounding grade — plenty for grass or landscaping. But contractor work often calls for more. Fence posts, concrete slabs, and footings need a clean, root-free zone that goes deeper.

Tell us what you're pouring or installing and we'll grind to the depth the job actually needs — not just the minimum. We'd rather go deeper on the front end than have you call us back because something shifted.

Subcontractor Pricing and Scheduling

We work with contractors on a subcontractor basis. That means competitive pricing, reliable scheduling, and a crew that shows up when it says it will. We understand that your timeline is your business — a delay on our end costs you money and reputation.

If you're a tree company, fence installer, concrete crew, or general contractor who regularly runs into stumps, it's worth having our number saved. One call gets it handled.

We Submit the 811 Ticket

Every job we do — residential or commercial, homeowner or contractor — starts with an 811 ticket. We submit it, we coordinate the markings, and we work around whatever's flagged. You don't have to manage that step.

We do.
