🌳 What Is Stump Grinding?
Stump grinding is the most common and affordable option. A machine grinds the stump down below the surface level — typically 4–12 inches deep — allowing you to cover the area with soil, grass, or new landscaping.
Benefits of Stump Grinding
Faster and more affordable
Leaves minimal disturbance to the yard
Allows grass to grow back
Great for standard landscaping needs
No need for heavy excavation
This is the preferred choice for most homeowners.
🪵 What Is Full Stump Removal?
Full stump removal includes removing the stump and the root system. This requires digging, pulling, or excavating the entire root ball.
Benefits of Full Stump Removal
Removes the stump AND roots completely
Prevents all regrowth
Best for construction, patios, driveways, or replanting new trees
Eliminates the possibility of pests nesting in old roots
While more labor-intensive, complete removal guarantees nothing grows back.
