Stump Grinding in Brenham, TX
Old stumps trip mowers, sprout suckers and draw termites. We grind them below grade so the spot can go back to lawn, beds or a new tree.

Overview
Getting the Stump Out of the Way for Good
A cut stump does not just sit there. Hackberry, elm and chinaberry stumps throw suckers for years, and a decaying stump draws termites and fungi toward the house. Grinding removes the problem instead of waiting on it to rot.
We use a grinder that chews the stump and the root flare into chips, working down below the soil line. Depth depends on what comes next: sod needs less, a new tree or a flower bed needs more.
Stumps left from an old removal, another company's job or a storm are all fair game. We do not need to have taken the tree down to grind what is left.

Signs To Watch For
When a Stump Should Go
Some stumps can be left to rot in a back pasture. These are the ones worth grinding.
- Suckers or sprouts coming up around the old stump
- Termites, ants or mushrooms working the wood
- A stump in the lawn that you mow around every week
- Surface roots lifting sod, pavers or a walkway
- You want to replant a tree or put in a bed in the same spot
- An old stump near the house or slab that is starting to rot
Cost
What Stump Grinding Costs
Stump grinding is priced mostly by the diameter of the stump and how much root flare comes with it. We give a written price after measuring.
- Stump diameter measured across the base
- Species and hardness, live oak and post oak grind slower
- Depth needed for sod, beds or a replacement tree
- Surface roots that need to be followed out
- Access through gates and over slopes or soft ground
- Whether grindings stay on site or are hauled off
