🌳✨ What To Do After Grinding a Tree Stump

1. Clear the debris. Remove leftover wood chips and sawdust. They can attract pests and slow grass regrowth.

2. Decide your goal for the space.

🏠 Construction: Backfill with compacted fill dirt or topsoil. Consult your builder for stability.

🌱 Lawn restoration: Use fertile garden soil, then reseed or lay sod for quick recovery.

🌼 Flowers/shrubs: Fill with garden soil; shallow‑rooted plants thrive here.

🌳 New tree planting: Add compost or organic fertilizer to restore nutrients. Ideally, wait a few months before planting.

3. Compact and level the soil. Tamp down the fill to prevent future sinkholes. Rake smooth to blend with the yard.

4. Water and maintain. Keep the area moist to help new plants take root. Watch for settling and add more soil if dips appear.

👉 Done right, the hole becomes fertile ground instead of a hazard—turning yesterday’s stump into tomorrow’s healthy yard.
