Forestry Mulching

Stump grinding takes a stump down to grade or just below it, so the spot stops getting in your way. We grind stumps left behind after clearing and stumps from trees cut down long ago. A low stump hidden in tall grass can catch a mower blade or a tire. Once it is ground, you can mow over the spot or build on it.
Stump grinding can follow clearing brush with forestry mulching when a cleared field still has stumps in it. When a tree service takes down a tree, we can grind the stump it leaves. Both jobs are part of our land clearing work around Hillsboro. We look at the job and put the quote in writing.

Many people search for stump removal when the job they need is stump grinding. Grinding chips the stump away where it stands, down to grade or just below it. The roots under it stay in the soil and break down over time.
Pulling a stump out with its whole root ball is a different job. That means excavation, and it leaves a deep hole and torn-up ground. We leave that work to an excavation contractor.
Grinding suits a pasture or a back yard. A spot that will carry a building may need more, and your builder makes that call.
Cedar and mesquite stumps act in different ways after a cut. Ashe juniper, the tree Texans commonly call cedar, is a non-sprouting species, Texas range research says. A cedar cut at or just above the soil dies and does not sprout back. Its stump only matters as something in the way.
Mesquite is the stump that comes back. U.S. Forest Service research says mesquite quickly resprouts when only its top is removed. The new shoots rise from buds on the buried part of the stem. A mesquite stump ground at grade can still send up shoots, so watch the spot the next season.
Clear Choice grinds stumps across Hill County, from Itasca to Whitney, and along I-35 toward Waco. Hillsboro sits at the center of our service area.
Grinding leaves a large pile of wood chips mixed with soil, university extension guides say. The grindings stay on site, and you choose where they go. On a pasture or a fence row, you can rake them into the hole and leave them.
A lawn takes more work. Extension guides say to clear the chips out and fill the hole with topsoil before grass goes in. Wood mixed into soil ties up nitrogen as it breaks down, and new grass struggles there. Spread the chips you pull out as mulch somewhere else on your land.
