Hiring in Texas: license and permit checks

Who grinds the stump?
An independent local provider assesses access and agrees grinding directly with you. Border Quotes is a referral service and does not operate equipment or remove trees.
What should happen before grinding or digging?
Call 811 to arrange utility locates before digging or grinding and ask the provider to confirm the locate process. Discuss private irrigation, lighting and other buried lines that may need separate locating.
Does grinding remove all roots and restore the lawn?
Ask the provider to define depth and the roots included. Chip hauling, backfill and lawn restoration are separate scope items; share plans for replanting or construction before agreeing work.
What licensing or registration should I ask about?
Stump grinding alone usually does not need a state trade license. Cities or counties may require local business registration or a permit, and some states register certain businesses. Ask the provider to confirm requirements for the specific scope, tree-related local rules and utility locates before work.
