Stump grinding in Plant City
Hurricane Milton hit Plant City hard. City figures reported by the Plant City Observer counted 28,313 cubic yards of trees and leaves picked up and 1,056 damaged homes.
This is strawberry country, where the Florida Strawberry Festival started in 1930 and more than 10,000 acres of berries go in the ground each year. It is also growing, from 39,764 residents in 2020 to an estimated 44,118 in 2025.
Gone Stumpin comes over from Valrico. Stumps are the center of the work, and the owner runs every job.

Ground down out of sight
The stump gets ground until you can no longer see it. What was sticking out of the yard ends up level with the ground around it.
You pick the finish
Keep the grindings on site to fill the hole or use around beds. Or choose haul-away for a fee and the pile leaves with the crew.
Raking and grass on request
Want the spot raked out and grass planted so it blends back into the lawn? Ask for it when you request the estimate.
A written estimate first
The owner looks at the job in person and puts the price in writing before any grinding starts. That number holds unless the scope of the job changes.
How the job goes
Tell us about the stump
Send the project address, how many stumps you have and anything about the yard worth knowing, like a fence gate or a tight side yard.
The owner sees it in person
He looks at what is actually there and writes the estimate on site. Price follows how much stump there is to grind.
You get an arrival time
Once you say yes, the job goes on the schedule with a set arrival time.
The stump comes out
He grinds it down until it is out of sight. The owner runs the job himself.
Finish the way you chose
Grindings stay or go with haul-away. Raking and grass planting happen if you asked for them.
Plant City approvals before clearing begins
Check before a tree comes down
Plant City says a permit may be required to remove a tree. Call Planning and Zoning at (813) 659-4258 to check. Gone Stumpin does not remove standing trees, so that call happens before we arrive.
Dead and diseased trees
A city ordinance treats dead or diseased trees on private property as a public nuisance. A complaint needs a certified arborist report saying the tree is dead or diseased and dangerous.
Curbside yard debris
Bags and containers stay under 40 pounds. Branches have to be tied and bundled, no more than 5 inches wide and 5 feet long, and out by 6 a.m. Stumps are not mentioned.
Grabber truck pickups
Anything heavier or bigger needs a grabber truck at (813) 659-4222. Each residence gets one free load every 12 months, and tree cutting companies have to haul their own debris.

Advice from city staff and the city fee schedule.
Not the day before a storm
The city parks superintendent told the Plant City Observer that the day before a hurricane is not the day to trim, because cut limbs at the street can become projectiles.
Half loads
Grabber truck yard waste pickups are priced by the load, with a lower rate for a half load or less.
Tell us what is left on the Plant City lot
Send your Plant City address and the job. The owner writes the estimate before work starts.

Plant City tree work, pickup and estimates
Will Plant City pick up a tree stump?
Curbside pickup takes branches up to 5 inches wide and 5 feet long. Anything bigger needs a grabber truck, and each home gets one free load a year. A stump still in the ground needs grinding.
Do I need a permit to remove a tree in Plant City?
Possibly. Call Planning and Zoning at (813) 659-4258 before the tree comes down. Gone Stumpin grinds stumps and does not remove standing trees.
A tree took down a power line. Who do I call?
Call 911, then Tampa Electric at 877-588-1010. Once the tree is cleared, Gone Stumpin can grind the stump.
I still have a stump from Hurricane Milton. Can you grind it?
Yes. If the tree is already down, the stump is exactly the job.
Do you work outside Plant City limits?
Send your project address with the estimate request and we will confirm we can reach it. Outside city limits, Hillsborough County rules apply.
How much does stump grinding cost in Plant City?
Price follows how much stump there is. The owner sees it on site and writes the estimate before any grinding starts. It holds unless the job changes.
Are you insured?
Yes. Gone Stumpin carries commercial liability insurance. Ask for the certificate of insurance when you request your estimate.
