Frequently Asked Questions

Here are some commonly searched questions that help clarify stump grinding services and what’s involved.

FAQ Icon
  • Is stump grinding better than removing the stump completely?

    Yes, stump grinding is often the preferred method because it’s faster, less invasive and more affordable. Unlike full removal, which involves digging out the stump and roots with heavy machinery, grinding breaks the stump into wood chips below ground level. This causes less damage to your yard and allows you to replant, build, or turf over the space with minimal fuss.

  • Can stump grinding damage nearby plants or structures?

    When done properly, stump grinding is very targeted and unlikely to harm nearby plants, pipes, or structures. A skilled operator will assess root spread, identify hazards, and use the correct depth settings to avoid any damage. If roots are too close to pipes or foundations, a partial grind may be recommended to maintain safety.

  • Will the tree grow back after stump grinding?

    In most cases, no. Stump grinding removes the base and top root system, which usually stops any regrowth. However, some vigorous tree species may attempt to sprout from remaining roots, especially if the grinding wasn’t deep enough. To prevent this, stumps are typically ground below soil level and may be followed by treatment or monitoring.
