Our Process
How a stump grinding job goes
Straightforward, no surprises. Here's what to expect from the first call to final cleanup.
- 1
Locate utilities
For any grind near the front yard, we coordinate a utility line check first so the cutting wheel does not hit a buried line.
- 2
Position the grinder
We protect the surrounding lawn, set up boards where needed, and position the grinder for clean side-to-side passes.
- 3
Grind below grade
The stump and visible surface roots are ground 6–12 inches below grade — deep enough for new sod, plants, or fill.
- 4
Backfill or haul-off
Wood chips can stay in the hole as fill (they settle over a few months) or be hauled off so you can bring in topsoil.

Stump Grinding FAQs
Quick answers to the most common questions about stump grinding in El Paso.
How deep do you grind the stump?
Standard grind depth is 6–8 inches below grade, which is enough for sod or most landscaping. For new plantings or paving, we go 10–12 inches or deeper so there is room for topsoil and root systems to fill in.
Do you remove the wood chips after grinding?
Your call. Wood chips can stay in the hole as backfill (they settle over a few months and make good mulch), or we haul them off so you can fill with topsoil. The price for haul-off is on the estimate either way.
Will the roots keep growing after the stump is gone?
No. Without a live trunk to feed them, the remaining roots will die off and slowly decompose. Sucker growth — the small shoots that keep coming back — stops once the root system has nothing left to push.
Can you grind a stump near a house or fence?
Yes, in most cases. Smaller grinders fit through standard gates, and we can grind right up to slabs, walls, and fence lines. If the stump is wedged against a foundation, we will tell you up front what is possible.
