Stump grinding removes a stump below ground level so the spot can be mowed, seeded, or covered with sod. It is one of the most common follow-up services after a tree removal in the Metro East, and it removes a mowing hazard for good.
The grinder reduces the stump to a mix of wood chips and soil, typically several inches below grade. Roots left underground break down slowly over several years, and most species do not resprout once the stump is gone. The chips can be reused as mulch in nearby beds, or raked out and replaced with topsoil so grass can fill in.

An authentic before/after pair of a stump ground down by the Riverbend crew, ideally showing the grinder at work and then the finished spot leveled with soil or chips. Real job photos strongly preferred over stock.
