Quick Answers to Common Questions
What exactly happens during stump grinding?
We use a specialized machine with a cutting wheel to grind the stump and major roots into small wood chips. The grind typically goes several inches below the ground surface, allowing you to cover the area with soil, grass, or landscaping.
How do I know if my stump needs grinding?
If the stump is a tripping hazard, interferes with mowing, attracts insects, or simply looks bad, it’s a good candidate for grinding. Even if you plan to plant something new, grinding the old stump first ensures a better result.
What should I prepare before you arrive?
Please clear any furniture, decorations, or obstacles from around the stump to give our team safe access. If there are any sprinkler lines, utility markers, or underground features nearby, please let us know so we can work carefully.
Do you remove the wood chips, or are they left behind?
That’s your choice. The wood chips can be left in the hole to decompose, raked into your garden beds as mulch, or we can load them for removal. We can discuss what works best for your yard when you call.
