Stump Grinding in Houston, TX
A stump in the yard is more than an eyesore. It is a tripping hazard, a draw for termites and ants, and a permanent obstacle for your mower. Stump grinding is the fastest and least invasive way to deal with it. EZ Tree Service grinds residential and commercial stumps across Houston, takes them well below grade, and leaves the area ready for grass, mulch, or hardscape.
What's Included
What our stump grinding service covers
Below-grade grinding
We grind 8–12 inches below the surface, more if you plan to replant or pour concrete over the area.
Multi-trunk and surface roots
Live oaks, magnolias, and crape myrtles often have stubborn surface roots. We grind out the visible portions in the same visit.
Tight-access stumps
We carry portable grinders for stumps behind fences, in side yards, or anywhere a full-size machine cannot reach.
Chip removal and topsoil backfill
Optional add-on: we haul off the grindings, backfill the hole with topsoil, and tamp it level so it is ready for sod.
When you need this service
Signs it is time to call
After any tree removal where the stump was left. When you want to replant in the same spot. Before laying sod, pouring a patio, installing a fence, or running irrigation. When mowing around the stump has become a chore. When surface roots are damaging walkways or lifting pavers.
Our equipment
Built for Houston jobs
Self-propelled stump grinders for open access, narrow walk-behind grinders for gates and side yards, and a dump trailer for chip haul-off.
Our Process
How the job runs
1. Quick on-site quote
Stump grinding is usually priced per stump. We measure the diameter, check access, and quote on the spot.
2. Utility check
We confirm there are no shallow utilities, sprinkler heads, or buried lines before the grinder starts.
3. Grinding
Most stumps take 30 to 60 minutes. Large multi-trunk stumps take longer. We grind to your depth preference.
4. Cleanup
Chips are raked into a pile or hauled off, depending on what you chose in the estimate.
