We offer three options, buff the top off just below ground level, bowl out the stump leaving the laterals or grub the whole thing out with an excavator.

We call buffing the top a back scratcher 👍

this being one of the reasons i just dont grind stumps.

we cut close to ground level. clients are advised stump grinding is significantly extra and hinted against bothering.

but when i have done it we grind the main body of the stump to below soil level, if possible grind the whole of main stump body. i dont chase roots unless theyre on the surface.
