Stump Removal

When grinding is not enough, full stump removal gives your yard a completely clean slate.

Stump removal goes a step further than grinding. Instead of reducing the stump below the surface, the entire stump and primary root structure are taken out of the ground completely. This matters when you are planning to repave a driveway, pour a concrete slab, replant a new tree, or do any work that requires the ground to be fully clear. Scotty has been handling stump removal jobs across Metairie and the greater New Orleans area for over 20 years, and he knows when removal is the right call versus when grinding alone will do the job.

Not every situation is the same. Some properties need a clean break — a completely open piece of ground with no root mass left underneath. That is exactly what full stump removal delivers. Scott's assesses the stump, the soil, and what your plans are for the space before recommending the best approach. The goal is always to give you a result that actually works for what you need, not just the fastest or easiest option for the crew showing up.

When the job is done, your yard is left level, clean, and ready for the next phase of your project. Whether you are working with a landscaper, a concrete contractor, or handling replanting on your own, the ground will be properly prepared. If you are in Metairie, Gretna, Chalmette, Terrytown, or anywhere within the New Orleans metro and need a stump fully pulled, call (504) 450-5596 for a free estimate.
