About

Razorback Stump Removal offers a specialized stump-grinding service throughout the Chicago Northwest suburbs and beyond. Using a modern grinder, our equipment can reach seemingly inaccessible places to grind any size stump down from 6 to 12 inches below the surface. You can then use the ground for normal gardening or landscaping, and you can even use the mulch produced from the process to fertilize your newly reclaimed area!

Hugh was professional and responsible. Very busy with many customers but it says a lot about quality of his work. He did great job on my yard removing and grinding stumps. Friendly and easy to work with. Would hire him again in a jiffy!

Hugh was excellent! He came out the next day and removed a very large tree stump (that he had to use a chainsaw to cut down before he could start grinding), 4 bushes and 2 smaller stumps. He was all ready to go and I asked him to remove one more (so sorry again, Hugh!) and he did it, no problem. Incredibly reasonable, great communication, on time, and flexibility when I added an extra last minute item - I don't see how you can get better than that!

GREAT experience with Razorback and Thumbtack! Hugh communicated via phone and text and his quote was very reasonable. Hugh came by this morning (nice guy btw) and using his grinding machine, he easily pulverized the stump and its roots at least 10"down in the ground. I live in Chicago and I was concerned the machine not fit thru our 36" gate. It did. Cool little machine! After grinding up the stump and roots, he filled the hole with grindings and cleaned up using a blower to remove any wood chips off the sidewalk and pavers. The wood chip grindings were very small and I utilized them for compost around my plants. I loved that tree. Below is one of the last pictures I have of it.

Razorback did a great job grinding a stump in my backyard. Hugh was responsive with his texts, was on time, did great work and was fairly priced. On top of all that, when I talked with Hugh he was very understanding about not driving his equipment over my septic field. I wouldn’t hesitate using Razorback again.
