Liberty Tree Service provides full stump removal throughout Round Rock, Austin, and the surrounding Central Texas area, led by ISA Certified Arborists who assess root spread before digging. Removal is different from grinding: removal digs out the entire root ball and major root system, leaving a hole that’s backfilled—necessary when you’re pouring a new driveway or foundation, or replanting a tree in the exact same spot. If you just need the stump gone below grade so the yard can be mowed and planted around, stump grinding is usually the faster, lower-cost option. Pair removal with tree removal for a combined rate, or schedule it on its own.
1. On-Site Assessment
Our ISA Certified Arborists inspect the stump’s size, root spread, and proximity to structures, utilities, and hardscape to confirm removal is the right approach and plan equipment access.
2. Utility & Site Prep
We mark or verify utility lines and protect nearby structures, walkways, and landscaping before digging begins.
3. Root Ball Excavation
Using excavation equipment, we dig out the stump and major root system completely, not just below grade.
4. Backfill & Grading
The hole is backfilled with soil, compacted, and graded so the area is ready for a driveway, foundation, or replanting.
5. Final Walkthrough
We walk the site with you before we leave to confirm the area is clean and graded to your expectations.

A beautifully landscaped space not only enhances aesthetics but also promotes a peace, soothing atmosphere, enriching your overall quality of life.
Removal digs out the entire root ball and major roots, leaving a hole that’s backfilled. Grinding shreds the stump below grade and leaves the root system in place underground. Removal is necessary for driveways, foundations, or replanting in the same spot; grinding is usually enough for a mowable, plantable yard.
Not necessarily. If you just want to stop seeing the stump and be able to mow or landscape over it, stump grinding is usually faster and less expensive. Removal is for when you need the roots gone too.
We mark utilities and assess root spread before digging, and use the right equipment for the site to avoid damaging nearby structures, driveways, or utility lines.
Yes—removal is the right choice when you want to replant a new tree in the exact same hole, since the old root system won’t be in the way.
Most residential stumps are removed in a single visit; larger stumps or multiple stumps may take longer. We’ll give you a time estimate with your quote.
