What to expect with Stump Grinding

So, You Want That Stump Gone? Here’s the Dirt on what to expect…

Before I can work my stump-grinding magic, I’ll need a few nuggets of info not because I’m nosy, but because safety and precision are my thing.

1. Your Name & Address:  

2. Is it near underground utilities?  

If that stump’s cozy with wires or pipes, I’ll open an official 811 locate ticket to get everything properly marked. No surprises, no sparks—we keep it safe and legal.

3. Is it fenced in?  

If yes, I need to know the gate size. My grinder’s not petite but can get through 36" openings. If it's smaller than that we can always remove a panel.

4. Show Me the Stump!   Snap a pic and toss a shovel, bucket, or garden gnome next to it. I need size perspective. Bonus points for good lighting and no blurry Sasquatch sightings.

5. Debris Haul Off - To Do or Not To Do?   I highly recommend it. After grinding, that innocent little stump turns into a mulch mountain. Safe bet on the low end is to assume 3X the stump’s size. For big Stumps, it could be 10 yards or more! Trust me, your trash company won’t be thrilled about 25 overflowing cans of stump mulch.

Yes, haul-off’s an extra fee, but it’s your landscaping insurance policy. I use a tractor with a bucket to scoop and swoop it all away—clean, easy, and zero backaches.
