How We Work
Our Stump Grinding Process in Alvin
Site check & utility scan
We confirm what's below — irrigation, gas, electric, and cable lines get marked before the grinder ever touches dirt.
Grinding to depth
The cutter wheel grinds the stump 6–8 inches below grade (deeper available), working outward to catch major surface roots.
Backfill & leveling
The hole is backfilled with grindings and soil, mounded slightly to settle level — ready for sod, seed, or a new tree. In Alvin, we pay special attention to the County Rd 180 corridor properties where access and soil conditions shape the approach.
Cleanup
Excess grindings hauled away or spread as mulch at your request; the area raked clean.
Replant advice
Want a new tree in the same spot? We'll advise on species and timing so the replacement thrives. In Alvin, we pay special attention to South Alvin properties where access and soil conditions shape the approach.

Stump Grinding FAQs — Alvin, TX
Do I need to be home during grinding?
No — as long as we have gate access and the stump is marked, we can grind while you're at work. We'll text before-and-after photos so you can see the Alvin job is done right.
How deep do you grind?
Standard is 6–8 inches below grade, which handles lawn and replanting needs. Building a patio or addition over the spot near established blocks off Highway 35? We'll go 12+ inches on request.
What do you do with all the wood chips?
We backfill the hole with a grindings-soil mix, then either haul the excess away or spread it as mulch in your beds — your choice. Fresh grindings make excellent mulch once aged a few months.
Can grinding damage my sprinkler system or utilities?
We scan and mark utilities before grinding, and we ask you to flag irrigation heads near the stump. In the Mustang Bayou area's newer subdivisions with dense irrigation, we hand-dig around lines first.
