Stump Grinding in Katy, TX
A stump in a Katy yard is usually behind a fence and surrounded by sprinklers. We get in, grind it below the lawn and leave the spot ready for grass.
Old stumps in Katy tend to be in the worst place: the middle of a small lawn, beside the driveway, or in a fenced backyard between the patio and the pool. They wreck mower blades, sprout from the base and draw termites and carpenter ants close to the house.
We grind them out with equipment sized for a subdivision lot. Tree King is based in Pattison and works in Katy every week, grinding stumps both after our own removals and for stumps another company left behind.
Stump work we do in Katy
How a stump job goes in a Katy yard
Before we start. Show us where the sprinkler heads, valve boxes and any invisible dog fence are. Public utilities are located before any grinding near the street or an easement.
Grinding. The stump and the main surface roots are ground below the level of the lawn. Most residential stumps take well under an hour.
Roots near concrete. A root running under a driveway or sidewalk can be ground up to the edge but not underneath. We will show you what can and cannot be reached.
Afterward. You are left with a low mound of chips and soil that settles over a few weeks. For sod, we recommend taking out the chips and filling with topsoil. We can haul the chips away.
Where we grind stumps in Katy
We grind stumps throughout Katy: Cinco Ranch, Firethorne, Cane Island, Tamarron, Old Katy and nearby neighborhoods.
If you and a neighbor both have stumps, booking together brings the cost per stump down.
Frequently asked questions
Will a stump grinder fit through my gate?
In most cases, yes. Our compact grinder fits through a standard backyard gate.
Can I lay sod over a ground stump?
Yes, once the chips are removed and replaced with soil. Sod laid straight onto grindings tends to yellow and sink as the wood breaks down.
Do stumps attract termites?
Decaying wood in the ground can draw termites and carpenter ants. Grinding the stump removes most of what attracts them near the house.
