Stump Grinding vs. Stump Removal

Stump grinding uses a machine to chip away the stump, leaving the root system below ground. Stump removal involves physically extracting the entire root ball. Grinding is ideal for most situations where you want to reclaim yard space quickly and efficiently, creating useful mulch in the process. Removal is typically reserved for situations where the entire root system poses a structural risk.
