Stump Grinding
Reclaim your yard. We grind stumps below grade across Sanford and Lee County, fast and clean.
A leftover stump is an eyesore, a mower hazard, and an invitation for pests. We grind stumps 4 to 6 inches below grade so you can replant, re-sod, or rebuild. Chips can be hauled off or left as free mulch, your call.
In Lee County's sandy loam, a leftover stump is not just an eyesore. Pine stumps in particular attract termites as they rot, and an active colony a few feet from your foundation is a risk no one wants to subsidize. Sweetgum and Bradford pear stumps do the opposite of rotting quietly: they resprout aggressively, sending up thickets of shoots for years unless the root crown is ground out. And any stump left in a lawn becomes a permanent mowing obstacle that dulls blades and turns into a trip hazard once grass grows over it.
Grinding turns the stump into a mound of wood chips mixed with soil. You have two options: haul-off, which leaves a clean shallow depression ready for topsoil and seed, or keeping the chips as free mulch for beds, which most homeowners choose once they see the volume. Either way the grind goes 4 to 6 inches below grade, deep enough to re-sod, replant, or set a fence post. If you are planning a shed, driveway, or pool over the spot, say so at the estimate, because deeper root chasing changes the approach.
Usually $75 to $400 per stump in Lee County, depending on diameter and root spread. Multiple stumps are discounted.
Grinding removes the stump and major surface roots below grade. Full root-system excavation is available if you're putting in a foundation or pool.
Your choice, we'll haul them away or leave them as mulch for your beds.
