About Stumps & Roots

Stumps & Roots is a Saint Petersburg, FL tree service company with a perfect 5.0-star rating from 7 customers, a strong early track record in one of Pinellas County's most densely populated cities. St. Pete's urban tree canopy is a real priority for both residents and the city itself, with mature oaks and palms lining neighborhoods from Kenwood to Snell Isle. That makes professional, careful tree work more important here than in less developed areas. The company's name signals a clear focus on what happens after a tree comes down: proper stump and root removal.

Services & Process

Stumps & Roots focuses on the full scope of tree care, with an emphasis on stump grinding and root management that many general tree companies treat as an afterthought. Stump grinding mechanically removes the stump to below ground level so the area can be replanted, sodded, or paved. Root removal or treatment addresses surface roots that crack driveways and sidewalks, which is a persistent problem in older St. Pete neighborhoods. Full tree removal, trimming, and pruning round out their service offerings for residential and commercial customers.

Service Area

Stumps & Roots serves Saint Petersburg and the broader Pinellas County area. Nearby communities like Gulfport, South Pasadena, Pinellas Park, and Kenneth City are all within easy reach. Being based in St. Pete puts them close to a high concentration of older residential properties where stump and root work is consistently in demand.

Frequently Asked Questions

How deep does stump grinding actually go?
Most stump grinding removes material to about 6 to 12 inches below the surface, which is enough for replanting grass or adding a new tree. If you're planning to pave over the area or need deeper clearing, let the crew know upfront so they can adjust accordingly.
Will surface tree roots keep growing back after grinding?
Once the stump is ground out, the root system will slowly decay rather than continue growing. Some roots close to the surface may still be visible for a time, but without a living stump to sustain them, they'll break down over months to years.
Can root removal fix my cracked driveway in St. Pete?
Root removal or strategic grinding can stop further damage, but the cracked concrete itself will still need repair. Your best approach is to address the roots first, then have a concrete or paving contractor assess and fix the surface damage.
What's left after stump grinding and how do I clean it up?
You'll be left with a pile of wood chips and sawdust where the stump was. You can mix these into the surrounding soil, use them as mulch in garden beds, or ask the crew to haul them away. Fill the hole with topsoil and seed or sod to restore the lawn.
Does the City of Saint Petersburg require permits for tree removal?
Yes, St. Pete has a tree protection ordinance that requires permits for removing trees above certain size thresholds, especially for grand trees. Your tree service can walk you through this, but checking with the city's development services department before cutting is the right move.
How long does it take for the area to be ready for new planting after stump grinding?
You can typically plant grass seed or sod within a few weeks after filling the void with topsoil. For planting a new tree, it's often better to wait a few months and ensure the old root system has begun to break down so it doesn't compete with the new roots.
