Stump removal takes the entire stump and root ball out of the ground, rather than grinding it down in place. This is typically used where the area needs to be fully cleared, such as before construction or replanting.
Where grinding would leave root remnants that could interfere with future digging or building work, physical removal clears the site completely.
Removal typically involves loosening the surrounding soil and lifting the stump and major roots out, which disturbs more ground than grinding does.
Removal leaves a larger disturbed area than grinding, since the root system is excavated, so we discuss the right approach for your site during the quote.
