Frequently Asked Questions
Get answers to common questions about our stump grinding services.
How deep do you grind stumps?
Standard depth is 8–12 inches below grade. For replanting, we can grind deeper to accommodate the new root ball.
Can I plant a new tree where the stump was?
Yes. With deep grinding and removal of grindings, we prepare the area for replanting. Fresh topsoil helps new roots establish.
What happens to the wood chips?
Chips can be left on site, spread, or hauled away upon request. We can backfill with topsoil and seed for a clean finish.
Will stump grinding damage my lawn?
We use ground protection mats where needed and clean the area thoroughly. Minor settling is normal as chips decompose; a top‑off of soil may be needed.
