Landscape Restoration After Stump Grinding

Once the stump is gone and the chips are cleaned up, what’s next? At JP Stump Grinding, we don’t just stop at removal — we help you rebuild. Our topsoil and grass seed services are designed to restore your property with a clean, level, and green finish.


Serving clients across Northern Vermont, we provide full lawn restoration so the area where your stump once stood blends seamlessly into your landscape. Whether it’s a backyard, business frontage, or multi-acre property, our finishing work helps your yard heal quickly and look great.

Why Lawn Restoration Matters

Removing a stump leaves a void in your lawn — literally and visually. Without restoration, the area can become uneven, eroded, or an eyesore. Here’s why applying topsoil and grass seed is an essential final step.

Smooths and Levels the Ground

We backfill the ground where the stump was, preventing dips or holes that could cause tripping hazards or pooling water.

Promotes Healthy Grass Growth

The addition of fresh, nutrient-rich topsoil encourages quick seed germination and thick, even grass coverage.

Improves Curb Appeal

Lawn repair helps maintain a uniform, professional appearance — whether it’s your home’s yard or a commercial space.

Speeds Up Recovery

By reseeding immediately, your lawn starts healing faster, and you’re not left waiting for nature to do the job on its own.

Our Topsoil & Seeding Process

We’ve developed a straightforward, effective process to get your lawn looking its best again:


  • Area Preparation – We remove any remaining debris and level the site.
  • Topsoil Application – A layer of premium, screened topsoil is spread evenly to fill the stump cavity and surrounding area.
  • Grass Seeding – We apply a blend of grass seed for lawns suited to Vermont’s climate and your property’s sun/shade conditions.
  • Light Raking & Watering – To ensure good seed-to-soil contact and promote early growth.

We also provide aftercare tips so you can maintain moisture and encourage successful germination in the days following the service.

When Should You Add Topsoil and Seed After Stump Removal?

We recommend completing this service immediately after chip cleanup. The sooner the soil is leveled and seeded, the faster your lawn can begin its recovery. Spring and fall are especially ideal for seeding due to moisture levels and cooler temperatures, but we offer this service from early spring through late fall.
