## What's Included in Every Stump Grinding & Removal Job

-   Below-grade mechanical stump grinding
-   Full stump and root removal for clearing projects
-   811 Dig Safely New York utility markouts
-   Mulch backfill and site restoration
-   Per-stump and multi-stump pricing

## Two Options: Grind or Fully Remove

Most homeowners choose grinding — it’s faster, cheaper, and less disruptive. Full removal (stump plus root system) is required for new construction, foundations, and replanting in the same spot.

## Grinding vs. Full Removal

-   **Grinding:** Below-grade, mulch backfill, minimal disruption, and cost-effective. Roots stay and decay over time.
-   **Full removal:** Excavator lifts stump and root ball completely. Larger disruption, more expensive, required for buildable ground.

Both come with itemized quotes and cleanup included. See our guide on 

grinding vs. full removal

[/guide/stump-grinding-vs-stump-removal/ →](/guide/stump-grinding-vs-stump-removal/)

 for a deeper comparison.

## Multi-Stump Pricing

If you have three or more stumps, we discount the per-stump rate. Common bundling: after a large

 or as part of

.

## After Grinding

The area needs light restoration — usually removing excess grindings, adding topsoil, and seeding grass. Some settling is normal as grindings decompose. See
