When Should You Choose Stump Removal Over Stump Grinding?

More often than not, a tree stump left behind in the yard after a tree removal becomes an afterthought. Well, at least until the stump becomes somewhat of an eyesore!

Typically, you can schedule a stump grinding service and have the stump whittled down to turn it into less of an issue. Sometimes, the stump is too far gone for simple grinding, though. Much like rotting trees have to be dealt with through tree removal, tree stumps that are beginning to rot have to be removed as well.

Today, we're going to discuss some of the issues that require stump removal over stump grinding.
