Frequently asked questions
What's the difference between stump grinding and stump removal?
Grinding chews the stump down below ground level and leaves the roots to decay. Full removal pulls the stump and root ball out, which is more invasive but better before construction or hardscaping.
How deep do you grind stumps?
Typically 6–12 inches below grade — deep enough to plant grass. We can go deeper if you're installing a patio or new tree.
Do you clean up the chips?
Yes. We can backfill the hole with the grindings or haul them away and finish with topsoil.
Can you grind hard-to-reach stumps?
Usually yes. We have equipment that fits through standard gates and works in tight backyards around Alpena.
