We rake chips back into the cavity. You can keep them as mulch or ask us to haul them off — we discuss this at the estimate.
Can you grind stumps on rocky Hill Country ground?+
Yes. Our grinder is designed for Hill Country conditions. We assess the ground conditions at the estimate.
Do I need to do anything before you arrive?+
Just let us know about any irrigation lines, septic systems, or buried utilities near the stump.
