Stump Grinding in New Orleans and Orleans 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. Organic and silty soils with high water tables, historic fill, and slab-on-grade lots that demand careful elevation work. Beach-adjacent soils in New Orleans often hide irrigation near oak root zones we expose during grinding.

Scope guide

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