Stump grinding vs stump removal in Fort Wayne
Grinding takes the stump down a few inches below grade and leaves roots to rot, which suits most Fort Wayne lawns. Full removal pulls the root ball and is mainly for building, patios or driveways. On Allen County's clay soils, removal leaves a large hole that needs fill and compaction, so it costs more.
Grinding
- Below grade, roots left to decay
- Cheaper and faster
- Fine for lawn and planting nearby
Removal
- Stump and main roots excavated
- Needed for footings or slabs
- More cost and disruption
