Stump Grinding & Removal in Cape Coral

After a tree is removed, the stump left behind is more than just an eyesore. It attracts termites and other wood-boring insects, creates a tripping hazard, prevents you from using that area of your yard, and can sprout new growth. Project Pros provides professional stump grinding services throughout Cape Coral, eliminating stumps quickly and completely.

Stump Grinding Process

We use commercial stump grinding equipment that mechanically shreds the stump into wood chips below ground level. The grinding wheel chips away the stump in layers, typically grinding 6-12 inches below grade. This allows you to fill the area with topsoil and plant grass or landscaping over the former stump location. The resulting wood chips can be used as mulch elsewhere in your landscape or hauled away.

Root Management

Visible surface roots extending from the stump can also be ground down for a clean, level yard. For situations where roots are affecting nearby structures, sidewalks, or plumbing, we can excavate and remove problem roots. We also apply root barrier treatments where needed to prevent remaining root systems from affecting foundations, driveways, or underground utilities.

Site Restoration

After grinding, we offer complete site restoration including backfilling the hole with topsoil, grading the area level with the surrounding yard, laying new sod or seeding grass over the area, and landscape planting to fill the gap left by the removed tree. This turns an eyesore into a seamless part of your landscape.
