Stump Grinding in Houma, LA
A ground-out stump beats a rotting one. Left in the ground, a cut stump in our climate turns into a soft, termite-friendly mess and sends up sucker growth for years. Grinding it 6–8 inches below grade lets you sod over it, replant, or pour a slab without a rotting hump in the way.
What’s included
- Grinding 6–8 inches below grade so you can sod or replant
- Surface-root grinding along walkways and driveways
- Cleanup of grindings, or leave them as free mulch if you like
- Multiple stumps and old, weathered stumps from past removals
Local note
In this parish a stump left in wet ground doesn’t just sit there — it rots, draws termites, and pushes up new shoots. Grinding it out is the difference between a clean yard and a slow problem.
What it costs
Most stumps run $166–$307 in the Houma area.
Stump grinding is usually priced by the diameter of the stump measured across the widest point at ground level. A cluster of stumps or a very wide live oak base costs more; a single small stump costs less.
Stump Grinding — questions
How much does stump grinding cost in Houma?
Most single stumps run between $166 and $307, priced by how wide the stump is at ground level. Big live oak stumps or several stumps at once cost more; we’ll give you a firm number on site.
How deep do you grind?
Six to eight inches below grade as standard — deep enough to sod, replant grass, or plant a small shrub. If you’re putting down a slab or a fence post, tell us and we’ll grind deeper.
What happens to the wood chips?
Grinding leaves a pile of chips and soil mixed together. We can haul it off, or rake it back into the hole and leave the surplus as free mulch — your call.
