Stump Excavation, Backfill & Haul-Off done right
Grinding a stump leaves the root system behind. We excavate the whole root ball, backfill the hole with road base or gravel, and haul everything off — leaving you with solid ground you can build on or drive over. We also handle general debris removal and haul-off for job sites, estates, and property cleanouts. Call us at 407-443-2863 for a free estimate.

“We hired Mintel Land Management to demo a house and the job was completed on time and everything was done correctly, inspectors were glad to have a good contractor on the job.”
“I have used this company over a dozen times with the removal of trees and stumps in my yard. The owner has become more of a friend then just a demolition company.”
“Reliable and dependable. Straightforward pricing does great work. Will definitely use again.”
“We contacted Kyle in hopes that he would be able to remove a very large pine stump from our back yard and grade the area after removal. He was above and beyond helpful and even cleared the vacant property lines on both sides of our property! He was very professional and respectful of our property, he was on time and his prices were very reasonable for the work performed. We will definitely be using his services in the future for our driveway widening project and any other future projects. 6 stars, I highly recommend using Mintel Land Management.”
“Excellent experience from start to finish. Fast, professional, and easy to work with. Would definitely recommend and use again.”
“Kyle came and pulled a few fallen trees out at my property and graded out another part. He came when he said he was going to as well.”
