Eliminate Unsightly Stumps & Reclaim Your Yard Space
About This Service
After a tree is removed, the stump left behind is more than just an eyesore — it's a tripping hazard, a pest magnet, and a waste of valuable yard space on your Carrollton property. Carrollton Tree Services provides fast, affordable stump grinding and removal services that eliminate stumps completely, leaving your lawn smooth, clean, and ready for new landscaping, grass, or whatever you have planned.
Our professional-grade stump grinders make quick work of stumps of any size, grinding them 6 to 12 inches below the soil surface so they won't regrow or interfere with mowing, planting, or construction. Unlike DIY stump removal methods that involve hours of digging, chemical treatments that take months, or dangerous burning — professional stump grinding is fast, clean, and effective. Most residential stumps in Carrollton are ground down in 30 to 60 minutes.
Whether you have a single stump from a recent tree removal or a property full of old stumps that have been bothering you for years, Carrollton Tree Services can help. We handle stumps from trees of every species and size, including the notoriously tough hardwood stumps from oaks, pecans, and bois d'arc trees that are common throughout Carrollton and the North Texas region. We also offer volume discounts for multiple stumps — the more you grind, the more you save.
Why Choose Us
Here's why Carrollton homeowners trust Carrollton Tree Services for their Stump Grinding needs.
Old stumps are dangerous tripping hazards, especially for children and elderly family members. Grinding removes the hazard completely, making your Carrollton yard safe for family activities.
Decaying stumps attract termites, carpenter ants, beetles, and other wood-boring insects that can eventually migrate to your home. Removing stumps eliminates this pest breeding ground from your property.
That stump is taking up valuable real estate in your Carrollton yard. Once ground and filled, you can plant new trees, install a garden bed, extend your lawn, or build a patio in that space.
Old stumps are eyesores that detract from your property's appearance and value. Professional grinding transforms an unsightly remnant into a smooth, usable area that blends with your landscape.
Many tree species will continue sending up shoots and suckers from a living stump, creating an ongoing maintenance headache. Grinding below grade kills the root crown and prevents regrowth.
We don't just grind and leave — we backfill the hole with clean wood chip mulch from the grinding process, leaving the area level and ready for grass seed or sod installation.

How It Works
Here's exactly how we handle Stump Grinding projects in Carrollton from start to finish.
We evaluate the stump's size, species, root spread, and proximity to underground utilities, foundations, and other structures on your Carrollton property.
Before grinding, we verify the location of underground utilities (water, gas, electric, cable) to ensure safe operation. We call 811 or use private locating services as needed.
Using our commercial stump grinder, we systematically grind the stump and major surface roots 6-12 inches below grade. The process creates clean wood chips and mulch.
We fill the hole with wood chip mulch from the grinding, level the area, and clean up any debris. The spot is ready for grass seed, sod, or whatever you plan next.
FAQ
Stump grinding in Carrollton typically costs $150-$500 per stump depending on size (measured by trunk diameter). Small stumps (under 12") start around $150, medium stumps (12-24") run $200-$350, and large stumps (24"+) cost $350-$500+.

We grind stumps 6 to 12 inches below the soil surface, which is sufficient to prevent regrowth, allow for new planting, and eliminate any above-ground interference. If you're planning construction or need deeper grinding for specific reasons, we can accommodate depths up to 18-24 inches upon request.
Stump grinding is a targeted process with minimal impact on surrounding areas. Our equipment is designed to be precise. There will be some disturbance to the immediate area around the stump (typically 6-12 inches beyond the stump's edge), but we backfill and level the area afterward. Nearby plants, trees, and lawn are generally unaffected.
