Three Generations. One Standard.
We’re Not a Company. We’re a Family.
Citrus Stump Grinding didn’t start with a business plan. It started with a grandfather who believed that showing up and doing the work right was the only way to do it at all.
My grandfather was grinding stumps in Central Florida before most people had ever seen the machine. He learned the land, learned the trade, and built a reputation one yard at a time. My father took everything Gramps built and turned it into something with staying power — the discipline, the pricing, the way you treat a customer’s property like it’s your own. He made it a business worth being proud of.
When I came home from military service, I didn’t inherit just a job. I inherited a standard. Citrus Stump Grinding is what happens when three generations of that standard meet a modern machine capable of handling anything Central Florida throws at it.

What We Stand For
Gramps didn’t cut corners. Dad didn’t inflate prices. I’m not about to start now.
Every quote we give is a real number — not a figure padded because we think you won’t shop around. Every job we take, we show up on time, grind it clean, and leave your yard better than we found it. That’s not a marketing line. That’s how this family has operated since 2007.
Over 12,000 stumps ground annually. Serving Citrus County and Central Florida for nearly two decades.
Who We Serve
We serve homeowners, property managers, landscapers, and contractors across Citrus, Marion, Levy, Gilchrist, Sumter, Lake, Volusia, Hernando, Pasco, Hillsborough, and Orange Counties.
Palms, palmettos, hardwoods, shrubbery — if it’s in the ground, we grind it. Our remote-controlled commercial equipment works in tight spaces most companies won’t attempt. We quote and grind the same day because your time is as valuable as ours.

Our Promise
This business carries my grandfather’s work ethic, my father’s business sense, and my commitment to both. Every stump we grind has all three generations behind it.
