I&B Professional Tree Service provides professional stump grinding across Katy, Fulshear, Richmond, Sugar Land, and Cypress. We grind below grade, clean up every chip, and leave your yard ready to sod, replant, or build over. Free estimates starting at $250.
If you just had a tree taken down (or inherited a stump when you bought the house), you already know the drill. It’s ugly. It’s in the way. And every time your kid runs across the yard or you push a mower past it, you’re reminded it’s still there.
I&B Professional Trees Service grind stumps across Katy every week. Live oaks in Cinco Ranch. Pines after storm damage in Memorial Parkway. Old pecans in established neighborhoods off the Grand Parkway. Whatever’s in your yard, we can grind it down below grade, haul the chips, and give you a clean spot ready for sod, plants, or just an unobstructed lawn.
We use a professional stump grinder to grind the stump and surface roots down 6 to 12 inches below ground level. The result is a pile of wood chips (which we haul away or leave for mulch if you want them) and a clean, level yard.
Grinding does not remove the entire root system. That’s tree stump removal, which is a bigger job. For most Katy homeowners, grinding is the right call because:
If you’re planning to build over the area (foundation, patio slab, shed) or replant in the exact spot, full stump removal is the better option. For everything else, grinding gets the job done.
Stump grinding in Katy starts at our $250 minimum and typically runs from $250 depending on the job.
What affects the price:
Stump size
A small ornamental stump grinds down in minutes. A mature live oak or pecan stump with a wide root flare takes significantly longer and requires heavier equipment. Bigger stumps mean more time on site and higher cost.
Species
Hardwood stumps like live oak, pecan, and hackberry are dense and take longer to grind through than softwood species like pine. Wood density directly affects grinding time, which directly affects price.
Number of stumps
Grinding multiple stumps in a single visit is significantly cheaper per stump than scheduling separate service calls. If you have a few stumps to clear, we’ll price them together at a bundled rate.
Access
A front yard with wide gate access lets us bring the grinder in quickly and get to work. Fenced backyards, tight side yards, and stumps surrounded by hardscape or landscaping take longer to set up and may require smaller equipment.
Surface roots
Some stumps have major surface roots radiating out several feet from the base. Grinding those roots down along with the stump costs slightly more but leaves you with a completely clean site ready for sod, plants, or new construction.
Most Katy homeowners bundle stump grinding with tree removal at a discount. We’re already on site with equipment, so grinding the stump right after taking the tree down saves you a second service call and reduces the overall cost.
If you’re getting a tree removed, ask for a combined tree removal + stump grinding quote. It almost always saves money.

Tree stump removal in Katy typically runs from $250 to $2,500 depending on stump size, species, access, and site conditions. We provide free written estimates before every job.
Stump grinding takes the stump below grade and leaves the roots to decompose. Full tree stump removal extracts the entire stump and root ball out of the ground. We perform both services and can recommend the right one based on your goals.
Backfill is available as an add-on service. Standard stump removal leaves a clean hole ready for backfill. If you want the area fully restored, we can bundle backfill and sod installation into the quote.
