Is stump grinding included with tree removal?

Stump grinding is usually a separate line item from tree removal. If you want the stump gone, say so upfront so it can be included in the quote.

How deep do stump grinders grind?

Stumps are typically ground several inches below grade, enough to plant or sod over the area. Tell the contractor your plans for the spot so they can grind to the appropriate depth.

Will stump grinding damage my septic system or irrigation lines?

Grinding can only affect underground lines if they run directly under the stump. Mark or describe any nearby lines to the contractor before work begins so they can avoid them.

What happens to the wood grindings after stump grinding?

Grindings can either be left on-site to use as mulch or hauled away. Confirm which option you prefer when getting your quote.

Why should I remove a tree stump?

Leftover stumps are trip hazards, obstacles for mowing, and can allow certain tree species like water oak and laurel oak to keep sending up suckers from the roots. Grinding the stump below grade stops regrowth and frees up the space for sod, planting, or construction.
