Fast & Efficient Stump Grinding in Austin

Grinding a stump in Austin comes with its own sets of challenges. Austin terrain varies significantly across the large city. From the rocky limestone substrate in the western neighborhoods like West Lake and Bee Cave to the dense clay in the eastern areas like Manor. Each soil type affects how the stump behave underground, how deep the roots run and what equipment is needed to remove the stump. Austin mature tree population means we deal with large, deeply rooted stumps. In particular live oaks, cedar elms, and pecans which have been in the ground for decades. 

Before we grind a stump, We conduct a full site assessment. Austin neighborhoods and properties are packed with underground infrastructure like irrigation lines, utility runs, gas lines and neighboring roots from other trees. We follow 811 dig protocols, contracting the state free underground utility notification service before any grinding beings.

Tree Removal in Austin

In Austin older neighborhoods like Hyde Park, Bouldin Creek, and Tarrytown have large mature live oak that are usually close to residential homes, fences or utility lines. Tree Removal in these area requires experienced crews and rigging rather than a straight fall. On top of the strict Heritage Tree ordinance which makes tree removal in Austin more complex than other areas. We work with the city to navigate Austin permitting requirements, something that most homeowners don't know about.

Tree Trimming in Austin

Austin short winters means that trees are actively growing for the majority of the year instead of northern climates. So tree trimming schedules are different here. Live oaks have a narrow window of tree trimming, late summer through mid winter. Because trimming during spring sap flow opens them up to oak wilt, which is serious and widespread problem in Austin. Our certified arborist knows exactly when certain trees should not be trimmed. Proper pruning techniques make the different between a tree that thrives, and one that fails.
