- Removal of Rocks and Plants that are around the base of the stump and can affect the grinder’s wheel teeth or cause injuries from flying debris.
- Stump Grinding over the stump as the wheel blade is lowered to cut into it at a low setting then moving side to side and back and to grind through the wood.
- Grind Below Ground Level until the stump is ground down anywhere from 4 to 16 inches below the surface to get the entire stump and most of the roots removed.
- Clean Up by shoveling and raking up wood chips that can later be used as mulch. The hold is filled with soil and tamped down for an even surface.
