About us
Born and raised in Spokane, Jeff brings more than 14 years of hands-on and management experience in home services, including four years as a business owner. The Spokane and Coeur d'Alene region is home, and stump work is what this side of the business does.

Our story
Spokane Stump Grinder might be a newer name, but the experience behind it isn't.
Jeff grew up in Spokane and has spent most of his working life taking care of properties here. He started behind a mower at 13 and eventually helped build a local property maintenance company from one truck into a 30-person operation. After years of managing crews, customers, equipment, and everything that comes with a growing service business, he wanted to get back to something simpler.
Stump grinding was a natural fit.
It's a specific problem with a clear result. The stump is either gone or it isn't. The yard is either treated carefully or it isn't. And when the job is finished, the customer should know exactly what they paid for and shouldn't be left cleaning up after us.
So we built Spokane Stump Grinder around that idea: specialize in one thing, invest in the right equipment, communicate clearly, and do the work properly.
We're local, we know the properties and neighborhoods around Spokane and North Idaho, and we're building this business for the long haul.
No big promises. Just good work, straight answers, and one less stump in your yard.

Do good work. Be straight with people. Leave things better than you found them.
— how we've run things from day one
What we stand on
No hidden fees and no unknowns going into your project. You get the scope and the price in writing, and that's the number.
We keep looking for better ways to do the work — the right machine for the access, the right technique for the soil we're in.
Uniformed crew, safety and environmental standards followed, and follow-up after the job to make sure the result held up.
How we work
Our approach on every property has always been the same: find the cause, fix it for good. On stump work that means looking at the actual stump before quoting it.
Diameter at grade, root spread, what's buried nearby, and how the machine gets in. Guessing at those is how a job goes sideways halfway through.
Grind it and leave the chips, or haul everything and backfill with topsoil. We'll tell you which one your project actually needs.
Grinding deep enough for what's going in that spot, and backfilling so the ground doesn't sink on you next season.
A walkthrough at the end if you're home, and a check-in after to make sure the finished grade settled the way it should.
Inland Northwest soil, frost timing, and what a basalt shelf under a stump feels like. Local isn't a marketing word for us.
If something on site genuinely changes the job, we stop and call you. You won't get a surprise invoice at the end.
