Get Rid of Stumps for Good
After a tree comes down, the stump left behind is more than an eyesore — it is a tripping hazard, a magnet for termites and carpenter ants, and an obstacle that makes mowing and landscaping a headache. NTX Tree Experts uses commercial-grade stump grinders to pulverize stumps below grade level, eliminating the problem at its source. Our machines handle stumps of every size, from small ornamental tree bases to massive hardwood root crowns three feet across.
The stump grinding process is straightforward and surprisingly fast. We position our grinder over the stump and use a high-speed rotating carbide-tipped wheel to chip away the wood fiber and root structure, grinding it down six to twelve inches below the surrounding soil level. This depth prevents regrowth and gives you a clean surface for replanting, laying sod, building a patio, or simply restoring a flat, usable lawn. Most single-stump jobs are completed in under an hour.
What happens to the grindings? The wood chips and shavings produced during grinding can be used as mulch in your garden beds, or we can haul them away and backfill the hole with topsoil for a seamless finish. We also inspect the surrounding root system for surface roots that could continue to cause problems and can grind those down as well. If you are planning to replant a new tree in the same spot, we will remove enough material and amend the soil to give the new planting the best possible start.
Whether you have one old stump in the backyard or a dozen scattered across a property you just purchased, we offer per-stump and bulk pricing that keeps costs predictable. Many McKinney homeowners bundle stump grinding with our tree removal service for a single, all-inclusive price — ask about package discounts when you call.
