Stump Grinding in Covington and St. Tammany Parish

A stump left in a fence line blocks replanting, sod, and new concrete until the flare and major roots are gone.

We protect sprinklers and surface utilities on the pre-grind walk so the wheel does not find them mid-pass. We grind in passes to the depth your plan needs: sod, beds, or future slab areas. On tight coastal lots, chip volume and backfill depth are part of scope, not surprises at the end. Owners who need a clean replant or rebuild pad want below-grade finish, not a shallow cosmetic grind.

Chips can stay as mulch, leave as debris, or get screened depending on what you want next on the lot. Rolling pine uplands and sandy soils that drain fast but still need controlled slopes near wetlands. Root mass in St. Tammany Parish clay can change chip volume and backfill needs on small lots.

When stump grinding, concrete demo, sod, or maintenance should be separate from earthwork scope
