Grind out old stumps so you can reclaim the space and replant.
When you remove a tree from your Schertz property, the stump becomes wasted space and a tripping hazard, especially in the fast-growing neighborhoods along I-35 and FM 78 where lot lines are tight and every square foot counts. Stump grinding reclaims that ground so you can replant, expand a bed, or ready the area for sod.
Schertz sits on blackland clay that expands and contracts with the seasons, which means old stumps left in place tend to shift and settle unevenly. Grinding them out below grade prevents that settling and gives you a level, stable site. We handle the tough clay with equipment built for this terrain, chase surface roots, haul off or backfill the grindings, and leave your yard ready for whatever comes next.
Corral Bros is family-run and licensed and insured across the I-35 corridor. We schedule free on-site estimates within 48 hours, walk you through what the Schertz soil and your specific stump will need, and get the job done clean.
We're a local, family-built company that treats your Schertz property like our own — tidy crews, clear pricing, and stump grinding that holds up to Guadalupe 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 below grade, typically 8 to 12 inches deep depending on the stump size and root system. Schertz's blackland clay stabilizes the ground well once the stump is out, and grinding below surface lets you level the site for sod, mulch beds, or even replanting without obstacles underneath.
You have two options. We can haul the grindings off-site, or we can leave them for backfill and mulch. Many Schertz homeowners haul them off to keep the lot clean, especially in master-planned neighborhoods like Ashley Park and Forest Ridge where aesthetics matter.
Cost depends on stump diameter, number of stumps, and how deep the root system goes. We offer free no-obligation on-site estimates so you see exactly what we're working with. Call us at 737-404-9343 and we'll schedule a visit within 48 hours.
Our equipment is access-friendly and maneuverable, so we can work in tight spaces without tearing up surrounding grass or beds. We'll map out the work area during your free estimate and take care around valuable plants, a big plus in landscaped neighborhoods like The Crossvine.
A single stump usually takes 30 minutes to an hour, depending on diameter and how tangled the roots are in Schertz's clay. We'll give you a realistic timeline during the estimate so you know what to expect on the day.
Absolutely. Once we grind and level the site, you can plant a new tree, shrub, or turf right away. Schertz's blackland clay is nutrient-rich, so new growth establishes well once the old stump is gone and the soil is settled.
