What Is Stump Grinding?

Frequently Asked Questions
- How deep do you grind stumps?
- Standard residential grinding goes 6–8 inches below grade, which is sufficient for grass. Construction sites typically require 12–18" of clearance.
- What do I do with the wood chips?
- You can use them as mulch in garden beds, have them raked into the hole to fill it, or have them hauled away. Most contractors will pile them nearby by default.
- Will the roots be removed?
- No — grinding removes the visible stump, but lateral roots remain underground and decay over 3–7 years. If you need full root removal, excavation is required.
- Can you grind stumps near a fence or structure?
- Yes. Compact grinders access tight spaces. Mark any underground utilities before work begins.
