Not all stump grinding is the same. A shallow grind clears the visible stump but leaves larger roots close to the surface, which can be fine for a spot you're not planning to build or plant over. A deeper grind is a different job entirely.
If new sod, a garden bed, or any kind of construction is going in over the old root zone, the grinding depth needs to account for what's coming next. Roots left too shallow can interfere with grading, irrigation lines, or even a future foundation.
We ask homeowners and contractors what's planned for the space before we grind, because the right depth for a simple lawn patch isn't the right depth for a paver patio or a new planting bed. It's a detail that's easy to overlook until it causes a problem later.
Are you planning anything over an old stump site on your property? It's worth mentioning before the grinding starts, not after.
