Grind vs. pull
Grinding is faster and leaves the soil mostly level. Pulling stumps tears up a lot of ground and usually needs fill afterward.
Questions worth asking
Before you book stump work:
- How deep below grade will you grind?
- Do you haul the chips or leave them?
- Have utility lines been marked (call 811)?

Common questions
Can I plant grass where a stump was ground?
Yes, after removing most of the chips and adding topsoil — fresh wood chips pull nitrogen from the soil.
