We had a big job, 20 stumps to grind and some were quite large. Kurt was here when he said he would be and took care of them all in 2 days! He was very knowledgeable, professional and even took the time to rake the disturbed areas. He was very careful when moving his truck and equipment around our property. We could not have been more pleased. We most definitely recommend him!!Posted on Jeff Vassau2026-02-25Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I highly recommend Kurt at Root Force Stump Grinding. He arrived when he said he would, discussed the job with me for my requirements, and gave me an estimate beforehand. He did an excellent job and took care of everything as discussed- along with some other stumps that weren't even part of the estimate at no extra charge! We had over 18 stumps ground and Kurt made sure he leveled all the dirt around them with a rake before he finished. This was a pleasant surprise as I was prepared to do that myself. Kurt was very professional from start to finish and the whole process was flawless. If you need stumps ground at a very good price, then you definitely need to have Kurt do it.Posted on Robert K Hinkle Jr2026-01-09Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google.

At Root Force, we specialize in stump grinding for homeowners, HOAs, and contractors. Our approach is built on professionalism, speed, and respect for your property.
For most tree companies, it’s an afterthought. For us, it’s the whole business. That means faster response, better equipment, and a cleaner finish – every time.
We show up when we say we will.
No surprises, no upsells.
Up to 12" below-grade — we make it disappear.
Peace of mind for every job.
Carlton 6016 = power, speed, and precision.
We take precautions before grinding — including utility checks, proper containment, and jobsite awareness.
Our grinder fits through 36" gates and works close to fences.
A dedicated, high-powered stump grinder is the right choice compared to small grinders or skid steers with stump grinding attachments.
Our high-powered machine removes stumps fast – typically 50% faster than other equipment in the area. That means less disruption to your day and quicker turnaround.
Our advanced machine doesn’t just skim the surface. We grind up to 12 inches below grade, so the stump is gone for good. No regrowth, no trip hazards, and no damage to lawn mower blades down the line.
Skid steers can tear up a yard. Our dedicated machine is compact, turf-friendly, and we use protective mats to minimize impact on sensitive areas of your property.
Small gate? Tight landscaping? No problem. Our machine is designed to reach areas that other grinders and skid steers can’t.
With a clean, below-grade finish, your yard is ready for replanting, resodding, or even construction – without needing a second visit.
Skid steer attachments are general-purpose tools. Our equipment is purpose-built for one thing: grinding stumps. That’s all we do – and we do it right.
“Why shouldn’t I just rent a stump grinder and do it myself?”
It’s a fair question. But here’s what most DIYers run into:
Rental costs typically start at $400/day.
Machines are often in poor shape. Rentals get abused and rarely maintained.
Dull teeth = slow, frustrating work. You’ll spend hours on a single stump.
Safety matters. Grinders are powerful machines — one mistake can cause serious injury or property damage.
For many homeowners, it ends up costing more time, effort, and money than it’s worth. We’re faster, cleaner, and insured — and you can skip the hassle.
ROOT FORCE partners with pros — from tree services and landscapers to HOAs and general contractors.
We run a Carlton 6016, a remote-controlled stump grinder built for power, speed, and tight access.
Whether you need one stump gone fast or ongoing support, we’re here to help.
Hi, I’m Kurt, the guy behind Root Force.
For 25 years, I worked in web development, helping everyone from Fortune 500 companies to startups… and even the occasional rock star. These days, I still serve a handful of my favorite clients, but after decades behind a screen, I wanted something more grounded. Something real.
That’s how Root Force got started. I’ve lived coast to coast, from California to Maine and down to Maryland, but beautiful Tennessee is home now, and has been for the past three years. When I ran into stump problems on my own property, I realized how annoying they can be.
Now I run a Carlton 6016, a remote-controlled beast of a machine that obliterates even the toughest stumps. It’s fun to use.
Root Force is a family business. My wife takes care of calls, billing, and the occasional Facebook post (when she’s not counseling kids at Pine Haven Elementary). My son helps out too.
What matters most to me is showing up when I say I will. I like doing clean, careful work. My goal is to solve your problems without creating new ones, and leaving your yard better than I found it.
Root Force provides stump grinding throughout the region — including these towns and many nearby rural areas.
