About Stump Grinding in Copperfield
Copperfield stump work is mostly water oak, pine and tallow left after removals on the neighborhood's wet clay. Pine and tallow grind quick; water oak is denser and slower. On the saturated lots near Addicks the shallow root plate is the real job — we grind the flare back so the lawn doesn't heave or sink over the old roots as they rot down in the wet soil.
What grows in Copperfield: Copperfield is a 1980s-90s subdivision in far west Houston backed up to the Addicks Reservoir flood basin. The soil is heavy reservoir clay that holds water, and the planted canopy — water oak, live oak, loblolly pine and a lot of self-seeded Chinese tallow — is now full-grown and root-stressed on the wetter lots.

The most common stump issue we see in Copperfield
On heavy clay a stump left in the ground rots slowly and the soil settles unevenly over it, leaving a soft low spot in the lawn a year later. Grinding the stump and the main flare and backfilling with the grindings and soil keeps the grade even so you don't get a sinkhole where the tree stood.
Frequently asked questions
Why does the ground sink where my old stump was?
On Copperfield's clay the buried stump and roots rot slowly and the soil settles over them. Grinding the stump and flare and backfilling keeps the lawn from developing a soft low spot later.
How deep do you grind?
Eight to ten inches below grade for sod or grass, deeper if you're replanting a tree. We can also chase the main root flare on the wetter lots.
Do you haul off the grindings?
Your choice \u2014 we can backfill the hole with them or haul them off and finish with soil. On low, wet spots we usually top with soil for a firmer grade.
Are you licensed and insured?
Yes. Sticks Tree Service Inc. is fully licensed and insured for all tree work in TX.
Do you offer free estimates?
