Pros and cons of stump grinding.
Let's start with the cons. There are not many of them, but they exist.
A significant cons of the stump grinding process is noise. The grinder produces sound of approximately 100 dB. It is not dangerous, but it is unpleasant for the ears. That’s why we only work during the daytime. Usually it is enough to go to the far side of the house so that the sound does not interfere.
Space is required for maneuvering and bringing a grinding equipment. We need a passage of 40 inches and an angle of approximately 45 degrees.
If the soil is wet and soft, it will likely leave wheel marks, although not as deep as heavy tractors and excavators can leave. If needed, you may wait for favorable weather or undertake improvements to the site.
The possibility of encountering underground utilities, such as gas or water lines and cables, exists. The grinder's toothed disc could potentially damage these.
If you are uncertain about their absence, please inform us, and we will verify before commencing work. Additionally, you can determine the location of underground lines independently by dialing 811. If you are aware of an obstruction beneath the stump, it may be wiser to opt for an alternative stump removal method, such as a chemical solution.
Flying wood chips can cause some damage.
We are putting up a defense. Don't get too close. Keep children away.
We want you to know exactly why you are choosing stump grinding. Then our cooperation will be mutually pleasant.

Pros of stump grinding.
What are the benefits of stump grinding?
You get a well-dug area with loose soil. Using a grinder, the stump can be crushed into chips to a depth of up to 12 inches. This is enough to prevent the germination of remaining roots. You can plant new plants right away. What remains is a slightly elevated, loose area mixed with splinters of earth. Very soon the soil will settle.
The undeniable advantage of stump grinding is speed. It’s the most quickly method. The stumps will disappear in a matter of hours. Sometimes minutes.
In addition to triable soil, you can get an impressive pile of mulch. One average-sized stump yields approximately 1 cubic yard (1 cubic meter) of mulch. If you wish, we can collect most of the wood chips and put them in a place convenient for you. In some cases we take it away. Let us know your preferences when estimating the cost of the service.
After grinding the stump, there is no hole left that needs filling.

A dead tree and stump do not remain uninhabited for long.
They are quickly colonized by insects, microorganisms and fungi, the proximity of which often causes many problems.
The ants are making a home for themselves and ordinary stains and traps will become less effective. The stumps harbor bark beetles and various wood eaters, which are pests and will eagerly switch to neighboring trees. Even mice can build houses under the stump and breed offspring.
