Stump grinding

What is left after the tree

A grinder takes the stump down below grade. The chips are raked into the hole or hauled, and the estimate says which.

What is included

  • Grinding below grade

  • Chips raked or hauled

  • A check for buried lines before we start

The cross section of a freshly cut log showing its growth rings

The price

What decides the cost

  • Width and roots

    A wide stump with surface roots takes longer than a narrow one.

  • Access

    A gate the grinder fits through, or a long carry, changes the time.

  • Chips

    Left as mulch, raked in or hauled.

Stumps, in questions

Will you find buried lines?

Texas811 marks the public lines for free before digging. We ask you to call it, or we do, before the grinder starts. Private lines, like sprinklers, are yours to point out.

Can I plant where the stump was?

Not right away. The hole settles as the chips break down, so fill it with soil and wait before you plant.
