Stump Grinding
A grinder reduces the visible stump and selected flare roots below grade. The practical depth depends on site conditions and the next use of the space.

Reclaim space after a tree comes down
A leftover stump can interfere with mowing, foot traffic, planting, and future construction. The right solution depends on what you plan to do with the area.
Pinelands Tree & Storm scopes grinding depth, access, chip handling, and backfill before work starts.
Full stump extraction is more disruptive and is reserved for projects that truly require the root mass removed.

Stump Removal
Excavating the root mass creates a larger hole and more soil disturbance. It may be appropriate for foundations, utilities, or other approved construction plans.
Root Management
Root cutting can destabilize or harm a living tree. We assess the tree and conflict before recommending any action.
Surface Root Solutions
Mulch, grade adjustments, route changes, or limited work may be safer than cutting major roots near a living tree.

How far below grade do you grind?
Depth is agreed for the site and intended use. Utilities, rocks, roots, and machine access can limit the practical depth.
Will the tree grow back?
Some species can sprout from remaining roots. Grinding removes the stump but does not extract the entire root system.
What happens to the wood chips?
The scope states whether chips are removed, left for mulch, or used partly as backfill.
Can I plant another tree in the same spot?
Usually it is better to shift the new tree away from the old root mass and improve the planting area.
Can you grind near a fence?
Machine width, working clearance, and buried utilities determine access. We measure during the estimate.
Should surface roots be cut?
Not without assessing the living tree. Major root cuts can affect stability and health.
