When a tree comes down, the stump doesn't have to stay behind.
Root Chasers specializes in stump removal throughout Central Ohio. We use professional stump-grinding equipment to remove unwanted stumps below ground level and, when appropriate, chase accessible major roots extending from the original stump.
Our goal is simple: remove the stump and as much of the accessible root material as practical so you can reclaim the area.
Based in Fredericktown, Root Chasers serves homeowners and property owners throughout Knox County and surrounding Central Ohio communities.

There are different ways to deal with a tree stump. Root Chasers specializes in using grinding equipment rather than excavating an entire root ball.
We grind the stump below ground level and, when the site allows, follow larger surface or near-surface roots and grind those down as well.
This approach lets us address more than just the visible stump while avoiding unnecessary excavation of the surrounding property.
The exact amount of root material that can be addressed depends on the stump, root structure, access, and surrounding conditions.
Root chasing is what gives Root Chasers its name.
After a tree is removed, larger roots can extend outward from the original stump. Some remain close to the surface and can interfere with mowing, landscaping, planting, or other plans for the property.
When those roots are accessible, we can follow them away from the stump and grind them down.
Root chasing does not mean removing every root underground. Tree root systems can extend well beyond the stump, and much of that root system can remain underground.
Instead, we focus on the larger accessible roots that are relevant to reclaiming the area around the stump.
An unwanted stump can continue to cause problems long after the tree is gone.

Every customer has different plans for the area after stump removal. Root Chasers offers cleanup options based on what you want done with the site.

The remaining stump and larger surface roots can interfere with mowing and landscaping and may prevent you from using the space the way you want.

Stump removal is our specialty.
Root Chasers was built around a simple idea: don't just deal with the part of the stump that everyone can see. Chase the accessible roots that can continue to interfere with the property.
