Professional Stump Grinding for North Houston Properties
Need stump grinding in The Woodlands or Spring TX? Boone’s Landscaping removes stumps of any size using industrial-grade grinding equipment. Whether you have one stump from a recent tree removal or a yard full of old stumps, we’ll grind them below grade so you can reclaim your outdoor space.
Why grind instead of dig? Stump grinding is faster, less invasive, and more affordable than complete excavation. Our grinders pulverize the stump and surface roots into wood chips, leaving a clean hole that can be filled with soil for grass, landscaping, or construction. The remaining deep roots decompose naturally over time.
We offer same-day service for most requests and provide volume discounts for multiple stumps. Contact us for a free on-site quote — we’ll measure your stumps, assess access, and provide exact pricing on the spot.
Why Remove Stumps?
Why Remove Tree Stumps?
Stumps are more than just eyesores — they create real problems for your property.
Tripping Hazard
Stumps are accident waiting to happen — especially for children playing and guests walking at night.
Pest Attraction
Decaying stumps attract termites, carpenter ants, beetles, and fungi that can spread to your home.
Unwanted Regrowth
Some species sprout new growth from stumps, creating a bush of suckers that requires constant cutting.
Eyesore
Old stumps detract from your landscaping and hurt curb appeal — especially important if selling.
Mowing Obstacle
Working around stumps wastes time and risks damaging mower blades on hidden root flares.
Construction Block
Can’t build patios, fences, or additions where stumps exist — they must be removed first.
Replanting
Old stump roots compete with new plants for water and nutrients — grinding makes space for new growth.
Property Value
Stump-free yards appraise higher and sell faster — buyers see stumps as a problem to solve.

FAQ
Stump Grinding — Frequently Asked Questions
Common questions about stump removal services.
How much does stump grinding cost in The Woodlands?
Stump grinding in The Woodlands typically costs $100-$400 per stump depending on size. Small stumps (under 12 inches) cost $100-$150. Medium stumps (12-24 inches) cost $150-$250. Large stumps (24-36 inches) cost $250-$350. Extra-large stumps (36+ inches) cost $350-$500+. We offer discounts for multiple stumps. Minimum service call is typically $150.
How deep do you grind stumps?
Standard stump grinding removes the stump 6-12 inches below ground level. This is sufficient for planting grass, installing landscaping, or general yard use. For construction projects, building patios, or complete root elimination, we offer deep grinding 12-24 inches below grade at additional cost.
Will stump grinding kill the roots?
Grinding removes the stump but roots remain in the ground and will naturally decompose over 5-10 years. Most tree species won’t regrow from roots alone. However, some aggressive species (like elms or willows) may send up sprouts. For complete elimination, we can apply herbicide to prevent regrowth or perform deep removal to extract major roots.
What happens to the wood chips after grinding?
Grinding produces a pile of wood chips and sawdust roughly 4-6 times the stump’s volume. You can keep them for mulch in landscape beds (they’re nutrient-rich as they decompose). We can use them to fill the hole and top with soil. Or we can haul them away entirely. Most homeowners keep them for landscaping use.
Can you grind stumps in tight spaces?
Yes! We have compact stump grinders that fit through gates as narrow as 32 inches and can work within 6 inches of fences, foundations, and other structures. For very tight spaces or backyards with no gate access, we have track-mounted machines that won’t damage lawns. We assess access during your free estimate.
How long does stump grinding take?
Most single stumps take 30-90 minutes depending on size and wood hardness. Small stumps (under 12 inches) take about 30 minutes. Medium stumps take 45-60 minutes. Large stumps may take 60-90 minutes. Hardwoods like oak take longer than softwoods like pine. Multiple stumps are more efficient — we can often do 3-5 stumps in half a day.
