Stump grinding is one of the most common follow-up jobs after a removal, and it raises a lot of questions. Our grinder chews the stump down below ground level, usually several inches deep, so you can mow, seed, or lay sod right over the spot. What's left behind is a pile of wood chips mixed with soil, along with the tree's roots still underground.
Those roots aren't a problem for most yards. They break down slowly over the next several years, and most species won't send up new shoots once the stump is gone. The chips can stay as mulch in a nearby bed, or they can be raked out and the hole backfilled with topsoil so grass can fill in.
We'll ask what you plan to do with the spot before we start, so the grind depth and cleanup fit your plans. Is there an old stump in your yard you've been mowing around for longer than you'd like to admit?
