Grinding vs. full stump removal?
Grinding chews the stump below grade and leaves roots to decay — cheaper and fine for lawns. Full removal digs out the root ball, costs several times more, and is mainly for building over the spot.
What happens to the roots after grinding?
They decay naturally over several years. The ground may settle slightly as they do — topping up with soil once or twice handles it.
Can I plant a new tree where the stump was?
Yes, though best practice is to plant a few feet to the side, or have the stump ground deeper and backfilled with fresh soil if it must be the exact spot.
