What you get for it
Four to six inches below grade, which is deep enough for sod, seed or a bed on top. Chips get raked back into the hole and tamped level unless you want them hauled. In sandy North Port soil that backfill settles noticeably over the first month, so plan on topping it off once before you plant.
If you're pouring a slab, setting a fence post or planting a replacement tree in the same spot, say so — we go deeper for an added charge rather than pretending six inches is enough.
Stump grinding questions
- How much is stump grinding in North Port?
- Posted and simple: $99 for a stump up to 12 inches across, $120 to $150 for 13 to 20 inches, and larger or multi-trunk stumps quoted on site. It's an estimate off your measurement and we confirm it at the curb before we start.
- Do you grind stumps if you didn't remove the tree?
- Yes. A lot of our grinding is cleanup after somebody else's takedown, or a stump the previous owner cut flush and left. You don't have to have used us for the removal.
- How does sandy Florida soil affect grinding?
- It helps. Sand grinds faster and cleaner than the clay or limestone we've worked elsewhere, so most North Port stumps are a 20 to 45 minute job. The trade-off is that the hole settles more, so tamp and top it after a few weeks.
- Do I need a permit to grind a stump?
- Grinding a stump left from an already-removed tree isn't the same as removing a living tree, and generally doesn't trigger the city's tree review. If the tree is still standing, that's the part the ordinance cares about.
- Will the grinder fit through my gate?
- It clears a 36-inch opening, which covers most North Port and Englewood side yards. Note the gate width and any irrigation or landscape lighting in your form — 811 marks utilities, not your sprinkler lines.
