Grinding down a stump works for many situations, but when you need the entire stump and root ball gone—completely removed from the ground—extraction is the only solution. Winston-Salem properties preparing for new construction, pool installation, or landscape redesign require full removal to prevent subsurface interference and ensure stable ground.

Always Grinding stump removal specializes in full extraction services that leave your site ready for the next phase, whether that's pouring a foundation, laying sod, or planting a new garden. Root balls from mature hardwoods can extend 15 to 25 feet laterally and weigh over 1,200 pounds, requiring hydraulic equipment and skilled operators to extract without collateral damage.

From historic properties in Old Salem to newer developments near Clemmons, extraction demands precision, power, and an understanding of soil mechanics unique to the Piedmont region.

The Winston-Salem area features a mix of clay-heavy soils, rocky subsoil layers, and mature tree species with aggressive root structures. Oak, sweetgum, and pine stumps develop deep taproots and wide lateral roots that intertwine with underground utilities and adjacent plantings.

Attempting DIY extraction with a truck and chain often results in property damage, broken roots left underground, and incomplete removal that leads to regrowth. Professional extraction uses hydraulic machinery to lift the entire stump and root mass cleanly, backfilling the void with soil to match surrounding grade. Complete stump and root removal can free up to 60 cubic feet of usable soil volume per large stump, eliminating voids that cause settling and drainage issues.
