That stump you've been mowing around for three years is doing more harm than you think. Old stumps attract termites, create tripping hazards, and keep your lawn looking unfinished. Dylan's Tree Service grinds stumps clean — below grade, no mess, ready for whatever comes next.
Old stumps invite termites and carpenter ants. Grinding removes the habitat and the risk.
We grind to the depth you need — whether you're laying sod, planting, or pouring concrete.
Wood chips are spread or hauled depending on your preference. No stump, no rubble.
After a tree comes down, the stump is the part nobody thinks about — until they're mowing around it every week, or until the pest control company mentions it's harboring termites. Stump grinding is the straightforward solution: a grinding wheel reduces the stump and surface roots to chips below the lawn surface, leaving a flat, plantable area in its place.
In Florida's warm climate, stumps decompose much faster than in northern states — but that process also means they attract wood-boring insects faster. We've seen Tampa Bay homeowners lose time and money to termite colonies that started in an old stump and moved to the house. Grinding is cheap insurance against that scenario.
We measure diameter, assess root complexity, and check access — then give you a flat price.
Our stump grinder is sized to the job — from tight backyard access to large commercial stumps.
We systematically work through the stump and major surface roots down to your specified depth.
Chips can be spread as mulch in a planting bed or hauled away entirely — your call.
