Well if you can put mulch on top then you can just cover it. If it’s a pine stump I suggest removing the stump if there are other pine trees in your yard because it can attract pine beetles due to a chemical released from pine stumps. It is up to the customer to decide to have the stump ground. We do provide stump grinding services. We accept no responsibility for beetle infestations.
Grinding the stump is suggested in the following situations!
- · Is it in a lawn area?
- · Are there horses on the property?
- · Did the tree have beetles?
- · Is it a pine stump around other pine trees?
- · Is it a trip hazard?
- · Is it a type of tree that will re-grow from a stump?
Grinding is optional.
- · If stump is in a natural area.
- · If you don’t care.
Grinding is NOT suggested.
- What about utilities?
- · Are you putting a slab over it? We suggest digging it out completely.
- · Is it close to another tree’s roots?
- · If it is not accessible.
