Stump grinding & removal

Reclaim your yard

Our grinders chew a stump and its surface roots down several inches below grade, so you can sod, replant or build over it. For projects that need the roots gone completely, we can fully extract the stump and root ball.

We handle single backyard stumps and large multi-stump lots alike, and we always haul off the grindings or backfill the hole — your choice — with flat-rate pricing quoted up front.

Why it matters

A leftover stump is more than an eyesore. In North Texas it becomes a magnet for termites, ants, and fungal decay that can spread toward your home and other plantings. Many species, including hackberry, elm, and crape myrtle, will keep throwing up suckers from the roots and stump for years. Grinding stops the regrowth and removes the trip hazard hiding in your grass.

Grinding turns a solid obstacle into mulch without the massive hole and disruption that full excavation causes. We take the stump down below grade so you can plant grass over it or set new landscaping nearby. You choose whether we leave the grindings to backfill the void, blend them as mulch, or haul them off and top the spot with clean soil for a finished look.

Frequently asked questions

How deep do you grind?

Typically several inches below grade — enough to sod or replant. Deeper if you're building over the spot; just let us know.

Do you remove the roots?

Grinding handles the stump and surface roots. For full root removal we can extract the stump entirely — common before construction.

What happens to the wood chips?

We can rake them back into the hole as mulch/backfill or haul them off — your preference.

Can I plant a new tree where the old stump was ground?

Not directly in the same spot right away. Grindings and leftover root wood tie up nitrogen and leave voids as they decay. If you want to replant there, we can dig out the grindings and backfill with soil, or you can shift the new tree a few feet over for a healthier start.

How long does stump grinding take?

Most residential stumps take under an hour once we have access to them. Size, wood hardness, and how many surface roots you want chased out all factor in. Our machines are compact enough to fit through a standard gate, so backyard stumps are usually no problem in our area.

Does grinding kill the roots left in the ground?

Grinding removes the stump and major surface roots, and the remaining roots no longer have a trunk to feed them, so they die back and decay in place over the next few years. For species that sucker aggressively you may see a few sprouts, which are easy to knock back until the roots exhaust themselves.
