Dense Douglas firs and towering maples give Portland neighborhoods their signature charm, yet when a tree comes down the leftover stump can halt every other improvement you have planned. CountBricks delivers stump grinding Portland homeowners rely on, combining AI-driven estimating with licensed field crews to remove eyesores, reclaim square footage, and keep your broader construction schedule on track.
• Frees ground space for patios, additions, or underground utilities
• Eliminates tripping hazards that jeopardize site safety
• Prevents insect colonies and fungal growth from spreading to healthy landscaping
• Removes root systems that could damage new foundations or plumbing lines
1. Volcanic soils that dull blades faster than clay or loam
2. Frequent rainfall requiring rapid site stabilization after grinding
3. Tight urban lots where excavators cannot maneuver, making compact grinders essential
CountBricks crews carry specialized stump grinders sized for Portland’s narrow side yards and sloped driveways, ensuring we complete the work without disturbing neighboring structures.
When you speak to CountBricks on your phone or smart speaker, our real-time voice interface collects stump diameter, tree species, and site access details in seconds. The CountBricks engine instantly pulls local equipment rates, disposal fees, and labor costs to generate a line-item quote—no clipboards, no callbacks.
• Materials and disposal costs update daily from regional vendors
• Permitting fees for Portland and surrounding municipalities appear automatically
• You receive a ready-to-sign digital proposal that feeds straight into scheduling
1. Site walk-through and utility locates
2. Protective mat placement to shield turf and hardscape
3. Stump grind to 6-12 inches below grade, deeper when future excavation is planned
4. Mulch backfill or haul-off, based on homeowner preference
5. Final inspection and digital sign-off through CountBricks.com/client-portal
• Stump diameter: Larger circumference increases grinding time and blade wear
• Wood hardness: Oaks and fruit trees add machine hours versus softwood
• Root flare extent: Surface roots sometimes demand secondary passes
• Haul-off vs. on-site mulch reuse: Transportation and dumping fees apply when debris leaves the property
Because CountBricks pricing is algorithmically updated, you see real-time costs—never ballpark guesses.
Whether you plan to pour a new driveway, extend a deck, or run conduit for an accessory dwelling unit, removing stumps early avoids costly rework. CountBricks syncs your stump-grinding schedule with other trades inside the same platform, so concrete, framing, and landscaping teams receive automatic notifications when the site is clear.
• CountBricks verifies if your address lies within Portland’s tree code overlay and secures required removal permits
• Crews carry 2-million-dollar liability coverage and follow ANSI Z133 safety standards
• Ground mulch can be left on-site for erosion control or reclaimed for future planting beds

The Murphy family purchased a 1920s bungalow overlooking Mount Tabor. Their vision: convert the overgrown backyard into an outdoor kitchen and play lawn. Three decaying cherry stumps—each exceeding 28 inches in diameter—blocked the plan.
• Tight 36-inch gate clearance limited equipment options
• Underground irrigation lines ran within 24 inches of the stump centers
• Completion deadline aligned with the concrete contractor’s arrival in five days
1. Using the CountBricks voice app, Mr. Murphy described each stump. The AI produced a detailed estimate—including a micro-tracked grinder—to fit the gate.
2. The blueprint takeoff tool overlaid irrigation lines onto the grinding zone, alerting crews to set grinding depth at 8 inches to avoid pipe damage.
3. CountBricks scheduled a two-person crew for the next morning. Real-time project chat kept the concrete contractor in the loop, eliminating downtime.
• All stumps removed and backfilled within six hours
• Zero damage to irrigation or neighboring roots
• Project stayed on schedule, saving the Murphys an estimated $1,400 in contractor delay fees
• Speak measurements clearly: diameter at the widest point yields the most accurate quote
• Decide early whether to keep mulch; hauling can add 10-15 percent to costs
• Upload updated site plans so the AI can flag hidden utilities before a blade ever spins
Every yard is different, but the CountBricks process never changes: accurate data in, predictable results out. Begin by visiting CountBricks.com/consultation or opening the CountBricks voice app. Your stump-free yard—and the construction milestones that follow—are just a conversation away.
