Old tree stumps ruin mower blades, invite subterranean termite colonies, and steal usable backyard space. JK Seriously operates heavy-duty stump grinding machinery to eliminate stumps six to twelve inches below grade across San Antonio, Austin, New Braunfels, Boerne, and surrounding communities.
Central Texas Live Oaks have wide root flares that sprawl near the surface before diving into rocky subsoil. Leaving these stumps in the ground attracts subterranean termites and carpenter ants that migrate toward home foundations once the wood rots. Grinding below the root flare severs these pathways and allows clean turf grass to grow over the footprint.
Key Takeaway: Grinding eight to twelve inches down allows enough topsoil depth for new sod to establish healthy roots.
We check for buried irrigation pipes, electrical conduits, and cable lines around the stump zone.
We erect debris deflection screens to shield nearby windows, vehicles, and neighboring fences from flying chips.
Our machine sweeps across the stump, grinding trunk core and major surface roots eight to twelve inches down.
We rake grindings into a neat mound for composting, or haul away excess mulch and backfill with loam on request.
Small stumps under 12 inches start at $120. Mature oak and cedar stumps typically range from $150 to $400 depending on diameter and surface roots.
We grind tree stumps down 6 to 12 inches below soil level, eliminating root flare and allowing for sod installation, planting, or patio construction.
Yes. After removing excess wood chips and backfilling with topsoil, the area is ready for fresh sod installation or garden bed planting.
The grinding process leaves a clean mulch mixture. We can backfill the hole with this mulch, spread it into garden beds, or haul it away per your preference.
Yes. Whenever a stump is close to public right-of-way lines or utility easements, Texas 811 utility markings are verified to keep buried lines safe.
Small stumps under 12 inches generally start at $120. Large oak stumps with sprawling surface roots usually range between $175 and $350.
