What It Is
Stump Grinding on the Gulf Coast
Stump grinding is the mechanical grinding of a tree stump down below ground level so it's no longer visible or in the way. After a tree comes down, the stump is a tripping hazard, a mower obstacle, and an invitation for pests and rot.
We grind stumps below ground level and backfill the hole, leaving a smooth, plantable surface. The grindings can be hauled away or left as mulch — your call. And with complete tree removal, stump grinding is on us, free.

FAQ
Stump Grinding Questions
Is stump grinding really free with tree removal?
Yes — with complete tree removal, we include stump grinding at no extra cost. Just mention it when you book your estimate.
How deep do you grind the stump?
Below ground level — deep enough that the stump is gone and the area is safe to sod, plant, or build over.
Will the stump grow back?
No. Grinding below grade removes the living tissue, so the tree won't resprout. Some species may send up root suckers, which we can advise on.
What do you do with the grindings?
We can haul them away or leave them as mulch for your beds. Most clients keep them — they make great, free ground cover.
