Stump Grinding & Lot Clearing in Sugar Land, TX
Below grade, root systems out, ground prepped.
After a tree comes down — or one's already gone and the stump is in your way — we grind below grade and remove the root system so you can re-sod, build a deck, or pour a slab. Lot clearing for builders also handled.
What’s included
Every job, the same standard.
Stump ground 8–12" below grade
Surface roots ground or removed as needed
Wood chips removed or left for mulch (your choice)
Hole filled with dirt, ready for sod or seed
Acreage clearing for builders & developers
Brush mulching for fire-line clearing

Common questions
Stump questions, answered straight.
How deep do you grind stumps?
We grind to 8–12" below grade as standard — deep enough to plant grass on top, pour a slab, or build a deck. If you need deeper (for a foundation, pool, or large landscape feature), we can grind 18–24" below at a small additional charge.
How long does stump grinding take?
A small ornamental stump (under 12" diameter) takes 20–30 minutes. A large oak or pecan stump (24"+) is a 1–2 hour job. We can grind 6–10 average stumps in a single day if they're at the same property.
Will the roots come back?
Most species — no. Once the stump and surface roots are ground out, the tree's done. Exception: a few species (mulberry, hackberry, some sweet gums) can re-sprout from deep root remnants. If you've got one of those, we'll mention it on the estimate and can apply a stump-killer if needed.
Can you grind stumps in tight backyards?
It depends on gate width. Our standard grinder needs 36" of clearance; we have a smaller 26" walk-behind for tight gates. If neither fits, we can hand-disassemble the gate, grind, and reassemble it — quoted on the estimate.
