Is your tree protected?

Questions about stump grinding
Will the roots grow back?
Grinding below the surface stops most stumps regrowing. Some species can send up shoots from the roots for a while afterwards.
Can you grind the stump at the same visit as the felling?
Usually, yes, if it is on the same quote.
