Stump Removal Contractor
Stumps Out. Roots Gone. Site Clean.
Stumps left in the ground cause problems. Root systems rot, subgrades settle, and organic material under slabs and driveways creates voids over time. Ruck Excavating pulls stumps completely, including the root ball, so there is nothing left behind to cause issues down the road.
We handle individual stumps on existing properties as well as full clearing jobs where every stump on the lot needs to come out. Large cedar stumps, fir root systems, and birch clusters across Greater Vancouver and the Fraser Valley are routine work for us.
Where grinding is the right approach rather than full extraction, we can arrange that too. Call us and we will tell you straight what makes sense for your situation.

Full Scope
What We Remove
Stump Extraction
Full mechanical extraction of stumps and root balls. The subgrade is left clean with no organic material that can rot, settle, or cause problems under future construction.
Root Grubbing
Large root systems removed to the depth needed for your project. Driveways, slabs, and building pads need clean subgrades. We get the roots out completely.
Stump Grinding
Where full extraction is not practical or necessary, grinding is an option. We will tell you which approach makes sense for your site and your budget.
Debris Removal
Stumps, roots, and wood debris chipped, stacked, or hauled off site. Your property left clean and ready for the next phase of your project.

Clean Up & Hand Off
Debris removed or processed on site. Ground left clean and ready for grading, construction, or landscaping to follow.
Common Questions
FAQ
Do you pull the full root system or just the stump?
Full extraction including the root ball. If your project requires a clean subgrade we get the roots out to the depth needed. No organic material left behind to rot or settle.
Can you handle large cedar and fir stumps?
Yes. Large Pacific Northwest stumps are routine work for us. We have the equipment to handle stumps that smaller machines cannot move.
Should I grind or extract?
It depends on what the site needs. If you are building on or over the stump location, extraction is the right call. If it is a yard or garden situation where depth is not critical, grinding may work. Call us and we will tell you straight.
Do you remove the debris after?
Yes. Stumps, roots, and wood debris are chipped, stacked, or hauled off site depending on what you need.
Can you do stumps as part of a larger clearing job?
Yes. Stump removal is included in our land clearing work. If you have a lot that needs full clearing we handle the timber, stumps, roots, and rough grade as one job.
