STUMP GRINDING IN
THE WOODLANDS, TX
Get That Stump Gone—The Right Way
At Trees Over Houston, we don’t just show up looking like pros—we are. Our team knows The Woodlands, and we’ve ground stumps out of just about every kind of soil, yard, and neighborhood in the area. Whether you’ve got a fresh stump from a recent tree removal or one that’s been in your backyard longer than you’ve owned the place, we’ll take care of it quickly and cleanly.
No guesswork. No halfway jobs. Just the right equipment, the right crew, and results that stick.
Why Stump Grinding Is Worth It
It might not seem like a huge deal—but getting that stump out of the ground can make a bigger difference than you think. Whether you’re thinking about safety, cleanup, or just making mowing easier, grinding out a stump is one of the smartest ways to improve your outdoor space in The Woodlands.
No More Trip Hazards
Let’s be honest—stumps get in the way. They’re not just an eyesore, they’re a liability. If you’ve got kids playing in the yard or guests visiting, the last thing you want is someone tripping on something that shouldn’t even be there.
We’ve seen it in backyards all over The Woodlands—stumps that have been around for years, just waiting to cause a problem. We can take care of it before it becomes one.
A Cleaner-Looking Yard
A leftover stump drags down the look of the whole yard. It might not seem like much, but once it’s gone, you’ll see the difference. Everything feels cleaner, more open, and more intentional. Even well-maintained landscaping can feel unfinished when there’s a rotting stump sitting front and center.
Thinking about selling? Just want your place to feel more dialed in? Removing that stump is a quick win that pays off immediately.
Take Back That Space
It’s surprising how much usable space one little stump can eat up. Once it’s out of the way, you can plant, build, install, or simply enjoy that part of the yard again.
We’ve had clients in The Woodlands who were finally able to put in a new garden bed, fire pit, or fence—things they’d been putting off because that stubborn old stump was always in the way.
Stop the Pest Parade
Old stumps attract more than attention—they attract bugs. Termites, beetles, carpenter ants—you name it. And once they settle in, they don’t usually stay put. They spread to nearby trees, shrubs, and even homes.
Grinding the stump gets rid of the food source, cutting the problem off at the root. Literally.
The Trees Over Houston Way
We don’t believe in one-size-fits-all service. Every yard in The Woodlands is different, and every stump tells its own story. Our process is built to handle each one the right way—no rushing, no overselling, no mess left behind.

A Solid Look Before We Start: Before we bring in any equipment, we take the time to understand what we’re dealing with. What kind of stump is it? How big? How deep do the roots go? What’s around it? Are there cables, irrigation lines, or fences nearby? Once we’ve got the full picture, we walk you through what we’ll do and how we’ll do it. You’ll know exactly what to expect—no surprises, no cookie-cutter plan.
-
Grinding That Gets It All: When it’s time to grind, we bring the right gear for the job—not just whatever fits in the truck. We grind deep, past the surface, and down to the root level so you’re not stuck with regrowth, soft spots, or half the stump still buried underground. We’ve worked in all kinds of spaces across The Woodlands—tight backyards, sloped front lawns, even commercial properties. No matter the spot, we’ll handle it with care.
-
Backfill (If Requested At This Point): After grinding out the stump you’re left with a hole where the roots once were. If you like, we can backfill the hole with topsoil or mulch — especially helpful if you plan to reseed, landscape or sod. We’ll also help level it, because you know that area’s going to blend right back into the rest of your yard. Tell us your vision, and we’ll customize the finish for what comes after.
-
Clean-Up That’s Actually Clean: Some companies finish the grinding and leave a big mound of mulch or a mess of wood chips in your yard. Not us. We rake, level, and clean up the whole area when we’re done. Whether you’re planning to lay new sod, plant flowers, or just enjoy a clear, open yard—it’ll be ready for whatever comes next.
