Question 1

Do you perform the stump grinding work?

Accepted Answer

No. We are a referral service. We connect you with qualified local stump grinding professionals, and the work is performed by independent local contractors.

Question 2

What is the difference between stump grinding and stump removal?

Accepted Answer

Grinding reduces the stump into chips, usually to a depth agreed in the estimate. Removal takes out more of the stump and root mass, which usually needs more room and larger equipment.

Question 3

How much will my project cost?

Accepted Answer

Pricing is set by the independent contractor after reviewing stump diameter, count, wood type, root spread, access, site conditions, cleanup needs, location, and timing.

Question 4

How deep will the stump be ground?

Accepted Answer

Depth depends on soil, rock, roots, and what you plan to do with the area. The contractor confirms the depth in the estimate.

Question 5

Will every root be removed?

Accepted Answer

No. Grinding addresses the stump and, where possible, exposed surface roots. Roots outside the grinding area normally stay in the ground, and we do not guarantee any result.

Question 6

Who is responsible for marking underground utilities?

Accepted Answer

Utility marking is subject to contractor availability and the approved scope of work. We do not provide utility-location advice. Disclose known utilities, irrigation, and septic components before scheduling.

Question 7

What happens to the wood chips?

Accepted Answer

Chips may be left, spread, or hauled away depending on what you and the contractor agree to. Hauling, backfill, topsoil, and sod are separate items.

Question 8

Can you also remove a standing tree?

Accepted Answer

Tree removal, trimming, arborist services, and emergency tree work are not promised here. They are only available if the assigned independent contractor confirms they offer them.

Question 9

Do you offer same-day service?

Accepted Answer

We do not promise same-day service. Scheduling depends on contractor availability and weather.

Question 10

Which areas do you cover?

Accepted Answer

San Antonio, Texas and the major San Antonio ZIP codes listed in our service area directory. We do not claim coverage outside San Antonio unless confirmed.

Question 11

Is my quote request binding?

Accepted Answer

No. Submitting the form requests a quote and does not create an obligation to book services.

Question 12

Can multiple stumps be handled in one visit?

Accepted Answer

Often, but it depends on total grinding time, access to each stump, and chip volume. The contractor confirms the plan.
