Do You Need Stump and Root Grinding Services?
Our stump grinding services in Miami Beach are customized to property owners’ needs, with crushing heights ranging from 1 to 12 inches below the soil.
Stump and root grinding are not typical homeowner yard chores. Instead, you should leave these specialized jobs to the professionals. Grinding is a process that removes the stump without removing its root system. A stump grinder grinds and cuts the stump into sawdust that is removed from the site. An experienced company can take a stump down to your desired height, typically anywhere from one inch to twelve inches below the soil.
Grinding a stump does not leave a gaping hole like stump removal. As the stump decomposes, it mixes with the soil. However, if the stump contains a fungus or plant bacteria, it must be removed, and the sawdust/mulch safely discarded. Failure to do this can kill the root systems of other neighboring plants. Keep your property in Miami Beach clean and neat with our stump and root grinding services.
Why Tree Stumps and Roots Need Grinding
Once a tree is cut down, whether at the present time or months or years ago, grinding the stump removes it from sight. There are other reasons to grind a stump on your property as well, including:
- It is a hazard for tripping or hitting with a lawn mover or sidewalk edger.
- The stump can be a haven for ants, ground bees, fungus, bacteria, or pests.
- It can develop into an eyesore that brings complaints.
- Existing roots may be above the ground and present a hazard for walking and mowing.
- If you live in a homeowners association, removal may be required.
- Some cities have ordinances that require their removal.

Additionally, you may want the stump ground down below the soil for personal or aesthetic reasons, such as planting flowers, grass, and vegetables, or for building a fence or water fountain in place of the stump. To do so, you should fill in the hole with dirt, organic matter, and fertilizer, and then you can plant or build away. Just make sure the stump is free of any fungus or other growth that can potentially harm your new plants.
Removing Stumps and Roots Is Not Always Necessary
Stump grinding is preferable to stump removal for several reasons, including:
- The work is much easier and faster.
- The job uses efficient tools and equipment.
- The process is neater than stump removal.
- It costs much less to grind stumps and roots than to remove them.
- Grinding is a more environmentally friendly process.
Stump removal is a more involved process that requires pulling and removing it from the ground. The work requires the use of heavy force compared to grinding and is potentially more dangerous. While removal does eliminate the stump and its major roots, leaving little to no chance of sprouting from what remains, this is typically only necessary when the stump is infected, or it is in the way of another project.

The Cost of Grinding Stumps and Roots
Have your Miami Beach property’s tree stumps ground at a price as little as $75 per inch!
There is no one pre-determined cost for stump removal because of the variables involved:
- Diameter of the stump
- Type of soil
- Age of the tree or stump
- Size of the roots
- Number of stumps
- Depth of grinding
In a comparison of the cost for stump grinding vs. stump removal, removal typically costs more, but there may be a minimum service charge for either grinding or removal. Some companies offer a discount on additional stumps you need ground or removed from your property. Stump grinding ranges from $75 to several hundred per each, and stump removal ranges from $350 to $700. Unusually large stumps that take more time to grind or remove cost more. You should also ask if there is an additional charge for removing the debris.
