Stump Grinding & Removal in Vernon, NJ

---

Vernon, NJ is known for its mountains, ski slopes, lakes, and endless wooded properties — which also means it’s known for endless stumps. From storm‑damaged trees near Mountain Creek to old hardwoods around Highland Lakes, Vernon homeowners deal with more stumps than almost anywhere in Sussex County.

That’s where Uncle Grumpy Stumps comes in. Fast. Friendly. Fierce against stumps.

Vernon’s terrain is a stump’s paradise — and a homeowner’s headache:

• Steep slopes and rocky soil make DIY removal nearly impossible
• Heavy storms drop trees every season
• Large wooded lots mean multiple stumps per property
• Lake communities value clean, safe, attractive yards
• Roots spread aggressively toward driveways, patios, and septic systems

Left alone, stumps can:

• Attract termites, beetles, and carpenter ants
• Become tripping hazards
• Sprout new growth like a tree trying to stage a comeback tour
• Make mowing a frustrating obstacle course
• Hurt curb appeal in Vernon’s competitive housing market

Uncle Grumpy does not tolerate comeback tours.

We handle everything stump‑related, including:

• Deep stump grinding below grade
• Surface root grinding
• Cleanup and leveling
• Optional chip removal
• Multi‑stump packages for large wooded properties
• Access solutions for steep, rocky, or tight terrain

Whether you’re dealing with one stubborn stump or a whole forest of them, we’ll grind them into mulch and send them packing.
