Grind out old stumps so you can reclaim the space and replant.
Stump grinding in San Marcos opens up space on your property that an old tree left behind. Whether you're in Blanco Gardens, Willow Creek, or out on a river lot, a leftover stump takes up room you could use for replanting, a fire pit, or just clean ground. Corral Bros handles the grinding so the stump is gone completely, below grade, and your yard sits level and ready for what comes next.
San Marcos soil is tricky ground to work with. Up on the thin upland soils, tree roots spread shallow and wide; down near the spring-fed riverland, water lingers and softens things. Both situations mean surface roots can chase far and ramify in ways that simple removal can't solve. We run the grinder where it needs to go, chase those roots, and haul off the chips or work them back into your soil as fill.

We're a local, family-built company that treats your San Marcos property like our own — tidy crews, clear pricing, and stump grinding that holds up to Hays County conditions. Available as a one-time project or part of an ongoing plan.
We grind stumps about 4 to 12 inches below ground level, deeper when you plan to replant or lay sod over the spot. We also chase surface roots as needed, then either haul off the grindings or backfill so the area is level and ready for new landscaping.
Stump grinding shreds the stump below grade and leaves the roots to decay naturally, which is faster, cleaner and less disruptive. Full stump removal extracts the entire root ball and leaves a large hole. For most Central Texas yards, grinding is the practical choice.
We grind out the primary stump and choke roots below grade, usually 8 to 12 inches. San Marcos upland soils are shallow, so we keep the grind practical-deep enough that regrowth won't happen, shallow enough we don't hit bedrock. Your soil type determines the exact depth; the on-site estimate tells you what to expect for your lot.
No. We work the grinder in one compact pass, contain the debris, and haul chips away or leave them as mulch in your beds-your choice. San Marcos neighborhoods like Kissing Tree and Willow Creek are compact, so we use access-friendly equipment that fits tight spaces without tearing up sod or hardscape around the stump.
We haul them off and chip them into mulch, or we leave them as free backfill and leveling material in your beds or planting area. Many San Marcos homeowners prefer the chips left behind for new plantings or erosion control on river properties. You decide what works for your yard.
Cost depends on stump size, how many stumps, and what your local soil is like. Call (737) 404-9343 for a free no-obligation estimate. We schedule them within 48 hours and give you a straightforward quote on-site so there's no surprise.
