Stump Grinding & Removal Services
Standard Stump Grinding
We use specialized, track-mounted grinders to remove stumps four to six inches below ground. This process eliminates visible remains safely and efficiently, preparing the area for replanting or landscaping without root interference, surface hazards, or disruption to the surrounding property.
Deep Root Grinding
For large or deeply rooted trees, we grind below the surface to remove root flare and major root structures. This technique minimizes regrowth, prevents pest attraction, and ensures lasting removal for hardwoods and dense native species common in Florida landscapes.
Debris Removal and Cleanup
After grinding, we collect and dispose of all wood chips and debris, leaving your property clean and even. The area is leveled, excess material hauled away, and nearby turf or beds restored, ensuring a polished finish and ready-to-use landscape.
Utility-Safe Grinding
We conduct thorough inspections to identify underground utilities before grinding. Our team operates with care and precision to avoid damage to pipes, cables, or irrigation lines, using reduced-depth settings and protective equipment to ensure safe, efficient service in sensitive areas.
Regrading and Soil Backfill
Once the stump is ground, we regrade the area for proper drainage and seamless connection to surrounding terrain. We fill the cavity with quality topsoil or sand, preparing the surface for sod, planting, or hardscape installation with long-term stability.
Stump & Root Removal for New Projects
Before landscaping or construction, we remove stumps and major root remnants that can obstruct grading or foundation work. This service ensures clean, stable soil for new plantings, paving, or structural development without the risk of regrowth or uneven settling.
Benefits of Professional Stump Grinding
Restoration of Usable Space
Stump grinding clears valuable ground for new lawns, gardens, or outdoor installations. By removing both the stump and major root systems, you reclaim functional space, improving property design possibilities and creating safer, cleaner, and more visually open areas for landscaping or recreational use.
Eliminates Tripping Hazards
Leftover stumps can create dangerous obstructions for pedestrians, vehicles, and maintenance equipment. Professional grinding eliminates uneven ground, leveling the surface for improved accessibility and safety. This reduces the risk of accidents and ensures a smooth, hazard-free environment for everyday use and lawn care.
Prevents Pest Infestations
Old stumps attract pests like termites, ants, beetles, and fungi that can spread to nearby trees or structures. Grinding removes these decaying food sources, preventing infestations and protecting your home, garden, and landscape from potential pest-related damage or costly future treatments.
Reduces Liability Risks
Protruding stumps increase injury risks and potential liability for property owners. Grinding removes these hazards efficiently, creating a safe, compliant landscape. This proactive measure protects families, guests, and maintenance staff while ensuring your property meets safety standards and insurance expectations.
Promotes Soil Health and Replanting
Grinding stumps returns organic material to the soil, improving structure, moisture retention, and nutrient content. Once leveled, the area supports healthy new planting or sodding, allowing vegetation to thrive naturally without competition from decaying roots or wood remnants.
Enhances Property Aesthetics
A well-maintained landscape begins with clean ground. Stump grinding removes unsightly remnants, creating open, uniform areas ideal for planting or hardscaping. The result is an attractive, seamless outdoor appearance that enhances curb appeal and complements surrounding lawns, pathways, and garden features beautifully.

Frequently Asked Questions
What depth do you grind stumps?
We typically grind stumps four to six inches below the surface. For larger or deeply rooted trees, we grind deeper to remove root collars and minimize regrowth. The final depth depends on soil conditions, stump size, and the property’s landscaping goals.
Will my lawn be disturbed?
Minimal disruption occurs. Our equipment operates on tracks to protect turf and nearby vegetation. Once grinding is complete, debris is removed, and the area is leveled. You can reseed or resod quickly, leaving virtually no visible trace of disturbance afterward.
Do you remove the roots entirely?
Complete root removal is rarely possible through grinding alone. However, deep grinding eliminates major structural roots, minimizing regrowth. For total removal before construction or replanting, mechanical excavation may be recommended depending on soil conditions, project scope, and root system depth.
Can I plant immediately after grinding?
Yes. After grinding and leveling, the area is suitable for replanting, laying sod, or installing hardscape features. Allow the soil to settle briefly before planting to ensure stability and successful establishment of new vegetation or landscape structures.
How long does a typical job take?
Most stump grinding projects take one to two hours, depending on size, species, and site accessibility. Large or multiple stumps may require additional time. Our team provides a clear estimate and efficient scheduling for minimal disruption to your property.
Does stump grinding damage surrounding trees?
No, not when performed correctly. Our professionals maintain safe distances from nearby trees, roots, and plants. Using precision-controlled grinders, McCoin Tree & Lawn protects surrounding vegetation while removing only targeted stumps efficiently across Okeechobee, Florida, and neighboring communities.
Is insurance necessary for this service?
Yes. Always hire an insured company for stump grinding. We maintain full liability and workers’ compensation coverage, ensuring property owners are protected from potential accidents, equipment damage, or unforeseen issues during the service process.
How is the cost of stump grinding determined?
Costs depend on stump diameter, species, root spread, and access difficulty. We assess site conditions, soil type, and cleanup requirements before providing a transparent, competitive estimate. Each project is customized to deliver efficient, high-quality results within your property’s specific needs.
