Frequently Asked Questions

What's the difference between stump grinding and full stump removal?
Stump grinding chips the stump down several inches below the soil surface using a rotating cutting wheel, leaving the root system in place. Full stump removal excavates the entire root ball out of the ground, which is more disruptive but necessary if you're building directly over the spot.
Can you grind stumps in tight spaces or near fences?
Modern stump grinders come in different sizes, including compact models designed for fenced yards and tight access points. As long as there's enough clearance to get the machine to the stump, grinding is typically possible even in confined spaces.
Will the stump grow back after grinding?
Most species won't regrow from a ground stump because the root system is no longer receiving energy from the trunk. A few aggressive species like cottonwood or certain maples can send up new shoots from remaining roots, but this is manageable with follow-up treatment if needed.
How deep does stump grinding go?
Standard stump grinding typically removes the stump to about six to twelve inches below the soil surface, which is deep enough for lawn restoration or light landscaping over the spot. If you need deeper grinding for construction purposes, that can usually be arranged at additional cost.
What do you do with the wood chips left after grinding?
The wood chip material left after grinding can be spread in garden beds as mulch, used as fill in the hole left by the stump, or removed from the site entirely. Most customers either keep the chips for landscaping use or ask the crew to haul them away.
Do I need to mark underground utilities before stump grinding?
Yes, always. Stump grinder blades reach several inches into the ground, and hitting a buried utility line is a serious safety hazard. Call 811 before any digging or grinding work to have underground utilities marked at no cost to you.
