Stump grinding grinds the stump down with a machine so the area can be reused, while stump removal typically means pulling out the stump and much of its root ball. Grinding is the more common choice for residential yards.
How does stump grinding work?
A stump grinder uses a rotating cutting wheel to chip the stump down. The result is a pile of wood chips and a stump that no longer sticks out of the ground.
What does full stump removal involve?
Removing the entire stump and roots usually means more digging and more disturbance to the surrounding yard.
Which should you choose?
If you want to mow, plant or reuse the area, stump grinding is often enough. Ask during your estimate which option fits your plans.
