Martin's Tree Solution offers stump grinding service in Pembroke Pines, FL: we grind the stump below grade so you can lay sod, plant again or pour concrete in the same spot, and the chips are hauled off or left as mulch — your call. We're family-run, licensed and insured, and the estimate is free and on-site.
Most of Pembroke Pines was built from the 1980s on — Pembroke Lakes, Pembroke Falls, Chapel Trail, Silver Lakes — and the trees planted with those houses are big now: black olives, ficus, live oaks and palms in the swales and front yards. When one of them has to go, the stump is what's left behind. It sprouts back, rots into a hole, catches the mower and keeps you from laying new sod.
Stump grinding fixes that without digging the yard apart. The grinder chews the stump and its main surface roots down below grade; then the chips are raked out or hauled away so the hole can be filled with soil and sodded. It's the step that makes a yard look finished again after a removal.
We're licensed and insured, we speak English and Spanish, and we quote stump grinding on-site, in writing. Call or text (786) 585-3351, Monday to Saturday, 8:30 AM to 6 PM.
What decides how a stump job goes in Pembroke Pines.
Ficus and black olive stumps come with big surface roots that run under sidewalks, driveways and slabs. The stump and the main roots that can be reached are ground out; roots under concrete stay where they are — and the written quote says up front what will and won't come out.
Swale and front-yard stumps often sit on top of sprinkler lines, valves and cable. Before grinding near buried lines, call Sunshine 811 (just dial 811) at least two full business days ahead — it's free, and the utilities come out and mark their lines.
Palm stumps are fibrous, not woody: they don't sprout back and they break down faster than hardwood stumps. Many homeowners still grind them so the spot can be sodded or replanted right away.
Once the chips are out and the hole is filled, the spot is ready for new sod. For a new tree, plant a few feet off the old spot, where the soil isn't full of old roots and chips.
What Pembroke Pines homeowners ask before booking us.
When it's bundled with a tree removal, stump grinding typically runs $80–$300 per stump, depending on the diameter. A stump-only job is quoted on-site after we see the size, the roots and the access.
Below grade — deep enough to fill the hole with soil and lay sod, plant or pour concrete in the same area.
Your call: we haul them off, or we leave them as mulch in your beds or back in the hole.
Grinding the stump of a tree that has already been removed generally doesn't need a tree permit; removing the tree in the first place can, depending on the tree and your city. The step not to skip is the free 811 utility locate.
Yes. We do the tree removal and the stump grinding on the same job, which is usually cheaper than two separate visits.
We'll come walk the property with you, write the quote in front of you, and answer every question before a single cut.
