Lot Clearing & Stump Removal

Stumps left in the ground will stop your project before it starts — get the lot cleared right the first time.

Whether you are preparing a lot for new construction, getting a property ready to sell, or clearing land for a landscaping overhaul, stumps left in the ground are a real obstacle. Contractors cannot grade properly around them. Sod will not lay flat over them. Concrete work cannot go down where roots are still in the ground. Scott's provides stump removal as part of lot clearing jobs throughout Metairie, LaPlace, Marrero, Westwego, and the broader New Orleans metro area. Scotty has been clearing stumps from residential and commercial lots for over 20 years and understands exactly what contractors and property owners need before the next phase of a project can begin.

Lot clearing stump jobs vary widely in scope. Some properties have two or three stumps from recently removed trees. Others have a dozen or more scattered across a larger piece of land that has not been properly maintained for years. Scott's handles both ends of that spectrum and everything in between. Each stump is assessed individually and ground to the appropriate depth for the intended use of the land. A lot being prepared for a concrete slab needs stumps ground deeper than one being prepared for sod — and Scott's accounts for that difference on every job.

When the lot clearing stump work is done, the land is left level, clean, and genuinely ready for whatever your contractor or landscaper needs to do next. There are no partial results, no stumps left partially ground, and no surprises waiting underground when the next crew shows up to work. If you have a lot in Metairie, Harvey, Belle Chasse, Gretna, or anywhere across the greater New Orleans area that needs stumps cleared before your next project moves forward, call (504) 450-5596 for a free estimate. Scott will give you a straight answer on what the job involves and what it will cost.
