How far below grade do you grind?

Below ground level so the area can be filled and planted; depth depends on the stump and root flare.

Do you remove all the roots?

Grinding takes the stump and root flare. Deeper roots stay in place and break down over time.

Can grass be planted over the spot?

Yes, and removing some grindings and adding topsoil gives it a much better start.

What grinding leaves behind

You are left with a mix of wood grindings and soil at the stump. That can be raked in to fill the hole, or hauled off with topsoil brought in when a finished lawn is the goal.

Because Tony's also grades and installs sod and hydroseed, the spot can be brought back to grass in the same project.

Checking access first

Stump machines need a route in. Gates, slopes, soft ground and tight side yards are all checked during the estimate so the crew is not turned back on the day of the work.
