Reclaim your yard
Stump grinding uses a machine to grind the stump into chips several inches below ground.
What to know
- Grinding depth is often 6 to 12 inches below grade
- Surface roots may need additional grinding
- Chips can be left to fill the hole or hauled away
- Mark irrigation lines and utilities first (call 811 before digging)
Grinding vs. removal
Full stump removal (digging out the root ball) is rarely needed unless you're building in that spot.
