Do you provide stump grinding in Irene, TX?
Tree Service Pros provides stump grinding in Irene, Texas. Grinding stumps 6–12 inches below grade so the ground can be re-used. Most Irene jobs fall between $95 and $600.

A stump left in the ground is a trip hazard, a mower-killer and a termite and Ganoderma host. Grinding is far cheaper than excavating the root plate. Irene is a small community in Hill County, about 59 miles from Fort Worth and 5 from Mertens. We are out this way regularly.
Drainage is the recurring problem — water sits, roots suffocate, and Phytophthora gets into a root collar that never dries. That matters for grinding: in Irene the roots run wide and shallow rather than deep, so surface roots often need taking down along with the stump.

Grinding versus digging a stump out
Grinding uses a carbide wheel to chew the stump into mulch, typically six to twelve inches below grade — deep enough to plant grass over, and deep enough for most replanting if you cut a fresh hole beside it rather than in it. Excavating the whole root plate with a machine costs several times as much, wrecks the surrounding lawn, and is only necessary if you are pouring a foundation or a pool over the spot.
Pricing
What stump grinding costs in Irene
Most stump grinding work in Irene falls between $95 and $600 for a typical residential job. That is a real range, not a teaser — what puts a job at one end or the other is below.
What moves the price
- Stump diameter measured at the widest point of the flare, not the cut face
- Grinding depth — replanting depth costs more than level-with-grade
- Access; a walk-behind grinder through a narrow gate is slower
- Whether chip is backfilled or hauled off and replaced with soil
- Rock or embedded metal — old fence line stumps are frequently full of wire
The only way to get a real number is for someone to look at it. That visit is free — request an estimate or call (817) 508-9940. Full pricing detail for every service is in our North Texas tree service cost guide.
Local conditions
Irene soil, species and timing
The ground under Irene is deep black shrink-swell clay, typical of the Blackland Prairie. Soil pH runs around 7.4–8.2, which is why shrink-swell root damage shows up here so consistently — this clay moves several inches between a wet spring and a dry August, shearing feeder roots and opening cracks that dry the root zone out.
We cover ZIP code 76650. Because we are already working nearby, scheduling in Irene is usually easy — Mertens (5 mi), Malone (5 mi), Bynum (8 mi) and Penelope (10 mi) are all on the same route.
People in Irene search for this as tree stump removal, stump removal, or simply stump grinder in Irene — it is all the same job, and the estimate is free either way.
FAQ
Stump Grinding in Irene — questions we get asked
Can I plant a new tree where the old stump was in Irene?
Not directly in the same hole. Even ground to twelve inches, the remaining root mass decays for years, robs nitrogen as it does, and leaves a void that settles. Plant three to four feet to the side, or grind deep and excavate the chip out and replace with topsoil if the location matters.
Do you remove the roots as well as the stump?
Grinding takes the stump and the surface roots radiating from it. It does not chase lateral roots across the yard — those decay in place over several years and are rarely a problem. If you are building over the spot, tell us and we will price full root-plate excavation instead.
How soon can you get to my property in Irene?
Estimates in Irene are usually within a couple of business days. Scheduled work typically runs one to two weeks out depending on season — spring and post-storm periods are busiest. Hazard situations get moved to the front of the queue.
Are you licensed and insured to work in Irene?
We carry general liability and workers' compensation, and we will send the certificate before you book — not after. Texas does not license tree services at state level, which is exactly why the insurance question matters: if an uninsured crew damages your property or injures someone on it, that lands on your homeowner's policy.
Do you give free estimates in Irene?
Yes. Someone comes out, looks at the tree, and you get a written price with the scope spelled out — no charge and no obligation. We do not quote tree work over the phone from a description, because the things that change the price (access, what is underneath, how the wood has to come out) are not visible from a description.
