Frequently Asked Questions About Stump Grinding
Q.How deep do you grind tree stumps?
Standard grinding goes 200mm to 350mm below grade, which completely removes the root crown and enables easy replanting of lawn, laying turf, or garden paving.
Q.Does grinding a stump kill termites?
Grinding removes the soft rotting cellulose wood that termites thrive on, eliminating the nest and nesting conditions before colonies can migrate toward your home.
Q.Will the tree grow back after stump grinding?
Because we grind down the primary root plate and growth node, 99% of tree species cannot regrow after thorough grinding.
Q.What happens to the wood shavings after grinding?
The resulting mix of fine wood chips and soil backfills the hole safely. Any excess mulch can be spread throughout your garden or removed upon request.
