Novus Wood Group, LP is a wood debris business in Houston, Texas. It grinds clean woody debris into mulch and WoodFuel products. If you have cleared land or storm-damaged trees, it also handles that debris through contract grinding for commercial and municipal customers, land clearing debris management, and storm debris management.

Its own pages say it has kept millions of yards of material out of landfill over the past 25 years. Both locations are "TCEQ approved site for clean woody debris recycling," and its collection and transport trucks run on clean-burning natural gas. It also collects and hauls large loads of clean woody debris and sawdust. The costs a landowner should know are the $20.00 minimum charge and a $45 splitting charge for each tree trunk or stump over 24 inches in diameter. Trunks or stumps over 6 feet long are not accepted, and treated wood, painted wood, concrete and soil are on the unacceptable list. This suits a landowner who has cleared brush or trees and needs the debris ground up or hauled away, not a buyer for the wood. From novuswoodgroup.com, read 18 October 2026.
