Large & Oversized Stump Grinding

Big stumps need the right equipment and the right experience — Scott's has both.

Louisiana is full of large, mature trees — live oaks, bald cypresses, water oaks, and pecans that have been growing for decades. When one of those trees comes down, what gets left behind is a stump that most residential-grade grinders simply cannot handle. Lighter equipment runs out of capacity fast on a wide, deep hardwood stump. Scott's carries professional-grade machinery built for exactly these situations. Scotty has been tackling large and oversized stumps across Metairie, New Orleans, and the surrounding parishes for over 20 years, and there is very little in this area he has not already dealt with.

Size changes everything about how a stump grinding job needs to be approached. A large stump takes more time, more passes, and the right technique to grind it down properly below the surface. Rushing it or using undersized equipment leads to a partial job — one where the stump looks gone from the surface but the root mass underneath causes problems for whatever comes next. Scott's does the job completely. The stump gets ground well below grade, the area is leveled, and the result holds up whether you are laying sod, pouring concrete, or simply reclaiming that section of your yard.

If you have a large or oversized stump on your property in Metairie, Kenner, River Ridge, Slidell, or anywhere across the greater New Orleans metro and have been told it is too big to deal with — call (504) 450-5596. Scott will take a look, give you a straight estimate, and get it handled with the right equipment the first time. No excuses, no turning the job away because it is too large.
