Common questions
How deep does grinding go?
Typically 4–12 inches below the surface, enough for grass or planting.
Will the roots grow back?
Most species won't. A few will sucker, which the contractor can advise on.
Is stump grinding included in removal?
Not always. Ask whether the quote includes grinding and hauling away the wood.
