Stump Grinding Options
Grinding Below Grade & Backfill
Most stumps go several inches under the soil line, deeper for a new tree.
We fill with clean soil. Chips can stay as mulch.
Sandy Soil & High Water Table
Sandy soil is easy on grinder teeth, but wet ground needs plywood to protect turf.
Shallow roots mean we follow them outward.
Palm Stumps & Ganoderma
If Ganoderma butt rot took the palm, we grind the stump and do not mulch the trunk.
Do not replant a palm in the same spot.
Live Oak & Laurel Oak Stumps
Live oak stumps are dense and take longer. Old laurel oak stumps go quickly.
Rotted wood can hide termites.
Full Stump Extraction
For a slab or footers, we dig out the stump and main roots.
It costs more and is priced separately.
Yards With Many Stumps
We price a group as one job, about $50 per extra stump on the same visit.
Big parcels pair well with land clearing.

2. Sunshine 811 Locate

5. Cleanup & Walkthrough
Walks are blown clean and we check the result with you.
