Stump Removal: FAQ

Typical depth is 6–12" below grade, deeper on request for replanting or hardscape plans. We’ll recommend a depth based on your goals.

We grind the main stump and can trace major roots that impact your plans (e.g., near sidewalks or garden beds). Entire root removal is often unnecessary and can disturb utilities/soil structure.

We can haul chips away, leave them on-site, or blend with soil for backfill. We finish with a level grade and tidy rake-out.
