Stumps and Roots
Stumps and Roots is a family owned and operated full service stump removal company serving the Tampa Bay area from St. Petersburg, FL. The company offers same day service and free estimates, and in most cases can give a price over the phone once the customer provides the stump dimensions and the location on the property. Its personnel have over 35 years of experience in the stump removal and grinding business. Residential work covers the typical grind of 4 to 6 inches below the soil next to the stump, shallow grinds, deep grinds for replanting, and surface and subsurface root removal and pruning for roots that lift sidewalks or create trip hazards. The standard grinder fits through a 36 inch gate, a smaller chainsaw style grinder reaches stumps in tight spots and flower planters, and a tracked grinder works stumps set in sand or deep mud. Commercial customers include landscapers, driveway companies, fence installers, municipalities, new construction sites, and golf courses. Stumps and Roots also responds to storm affected areas with downed trees and takes on golf course work with medium size grinders that avoid leaving tracks on fairways.

FAQs
What services does Stumps and Roots offer?
Stumps and Roots is a full service stump removal company. Work includes stump grinding and removal, shallow grinds, deep grinds for replanting, low impact removal in tight spaces, surface and subsurface root removal and pruning, commercial stump grinding, storm and hurricane stump removal, and golf course stump grinding.
Do you offer free estimates?
Yes. Stumps and Roots offers free estimates. You can call or email for a free estimate, and in most cases the company can give a price over the phone once you provide the stump dimensions and the location on your property.
How deep do you grind a stump?
The typical grind in the Tampa area is 4 to 6 inches below the depth of the soil directly next to the stump, and sod may be planted if the remaining mulch is replaced with top soil. A shallow grind takes the stump to just below the soil surface, and a deep grind is used when a new tree or bush will go in the same position. The final grind depth for a deep grind must be specified in advance.
Can you reach a stump in a small backyard?
Yes. The standard grinder will fit through a 36 inch gate to access most stumps easily. For tighter areas or work that needs a very careful touch, a smaller chainsaw style grinder can still access hard to reach stumps, including stumps in flower planters.
Do you remove roots as well as stumps?
Yes. Stumps and Roots offers surface and subsurface root removal and pruning. This covers roots that grow above the soil surface and become trip hazards, and roots that have grown under and lifted sidewalks or driveways. The company can also cut roots out of footers using a small chainsaw size grinder that is lowered into footers already cut.
Do you work with commercial customers?
Yes. Stumps and Roots works with tree services, landscapers, driveway companies, municipalities, fence installers, new construction, and golf courses, and works around the business schedule to return the landscape to its condition quickly. A tracked grinder handles stumps located in sand or deep mud.
Do you handle stumps after a hurricane or storm?
Yes. Stumps and Roots responds to storm affected areas where large amounts of downed trees are present and arrives with skilled personnel ready to complete the last stage of the tree removal process. Tree services with more work than they can handle after a storm can hand off the stumps so the job can be completed and billed sooner.
How much experience does the team have?
Personnel at Stumps and Roots have over 35 years of experience in the stump removal and grinding business, and many of those years have been spent working for municipalities in and around the Tampa Bay area.
