Stump Removal & Grubbing with Skid Steer and Excavator — Central Indiana

Mann Excavation & Sitework removes stumps and grubs roots mechanically with a skid steer and excavator across Central Indiana — usually as part of land clearing, lot clearing or site preparation, where the ground has to carry grass, gravel, a driveway or a pad.

Grinding typically removes the stump to a shallow depth and leaves roots below. Excavator removal pulls the stump and main root mass, which matters when the area will be graded or built on. Very large stumps can be coordinated with a grinding specialist when that is the better fit.

We handle single stumps, multi-stump lot clearing and storm cleanup. See our land clearing and cost guide pages below for how stump work fits a larger clearing project.

Stump Removal Capabilities

Single Stump Removal

Backyard and front-yard stumps pulled with the excavator where access allows.

Multi-Stump Clearing

Tree lines, old orchards, and reclaimed lots cleared and stumped in one mobilization.

Root Ball Extraction

Main root mass pulled rather than ground, reducing re-sprouting and settling.

Storm Damage Cleanup

Fallen trees and stumps removed; debris loaded into the dump truck.

Backfill & Grade

Hole backfilled with topsoil or fill dirt and graded smooth for grass or gravel.

Debris Removal Included

Stumps and debris removed from the site — we don't leave a pile behind.

Frequently Asked Questions

Grinding only removes the top 6–12 inches. The root ball stays in the ground, decays slowly, and may re-sprout or settle. Excavator removal pulls the stump and main root mass, which is better when the area will be graded or built on.
