You had the tree taken down. Then you had the stump ground. Now, six months later, you’ve got sprouts coming up around the base, roots pushing at your patio, or a soft spot in the ground where the old stump keeps settling.
That’s the difference between grinding a stump and removing it. Stump grinding is enough for most situations. But for aggressive species like Chinese tallow, for stumps sitting under hardscape, or anywhere you need clean soil for structural work or new planting, the whole thing has to come out.
I&B Professional Tree Service handles full stump removal across Katy. We dig out the stump and the root ball together, haul the actual underground portion of the tree off your property, and leave you with a clean hole and no unfinished business.
Full stump removal is an excavation job, not a grinding job. Here’s what that means on your property:
Mini excavator, hand tools, chain saws, and rigging depending on stump size and access. Larger stumps require larger equipment, which requires gate access or the ability to work through a fenced yard.
We dig around the stump, cut major lateral roots, and lift the stump and root ball out as a unit. For very large trees, this is done in sections.
Removal goes as deep as the root ball requires. For a mature live oak, that can be 3 to 5 feet down. For a smaller ornamental tree, 12 to 24 inches is usually enough.
Everything comes out with us. Stump, root ball, cut lateral roots, excavated soil that came out with the roots. The property is left clean.
A crew member visits your property, inspects the stump, checks access, evaluates the soil and root spread, and provides a written quote. No pressure, no obligation, no verbal estimates that change later.
Every excavation job starts with a call to 811. Underground utilities get marked before any digging happens. We don’t excavate blind.
If your neighborhood has tree replacement requirements or your project needs permits, we flag it during the estimate. Handling this upfront prevents surprises.
Most jobs are scheduled within 5 to 7 days of estimate approval. Larger or multi-stump projects may take longer to coordinate.
The crew arrives with the right equipment for your specific stump. We dig, cut, and lift the stump and root ball as a unit. Larger jobs may take most of a work day.
Stump, roots, and excavated debris all leave the property with us. Nothing gets left in a pile in your yard.
Full stump removal in Katy starts at our $250 minimum and typically ranges from $250 to $2,500 depending on the specifics of the job. What actually affects the price:
Stump size and root ball depth
The biggest single factor. A small ornamental stump might come out in an hour. A mature live oak with a 4-foot root ball can take most of a work day and requires heavier equipment. Bigger tree, more time, higher cost.
Species
Live oaks, pecans, and other mature hardwoods have extensive root systems that make excavation significantly more involved. Pines and softer species come out faster. Species drives both time and equipment needs.
Access
Wide gate access lets us bring a mini excavator directly to the stump. A fenced backyard with only a 3-foot gate means we’re doing more hand work with smaller equipment, which increases labor hours.
Number of stumps
Multiple stumps in one visit are priced together at a discount since we’re already mobilized on your property.

Full stump removal in Katy typically runs from $250 to $2,500 depending on stump size, species, access, and site conditions. A small ornamental stump is on the low end. A mature live oak or pecan with an extensive root ball is on the higher end. Every quote is free and written.
If you want grass, sod, or plants over the area, grinding is enough. If you’re building over it (pool, foundation, patio, shed) or replanting a tree in the exact same spot, you need full removal. When in doubt, we’ll walk through it during the free estimate.
Every job. We call 811 before any excavation, without exception. Utility marking is done before the crew ever puts a shovel or excavator into the ground.
Most residential stump removals take 1 to 4 hours. Very large stumps or multi-stump jobs can take a full work day. Your estimate includes the expected timeline.
Backfill is available as an add-on. Standard removal leaves a clean, empty excavation ready for backfill. If you want the site fully restored, we can bundle backfill and sod installation into the same project.
