What happens here

After tree removal, the remaining stumps need to be eliminated. Use a Vermeer stump grinder to effectively grind down the stumps. This method is preferred over digging out stumps in areas where underground utility lines (gas, electric) might be intertwined with the roots, as it minimizes the risk of damaging these lines. The stumps are ground down below grade to ensure they do not interfere with the new grading and drainage plan.

Goal: Remove tree stumps below grade to prepare for regrading and prevent future issues.

What they say

one [Applause] so typically I like to dig out stumps I'm not a fan of grinding them down because I still feel that you leave something behind and they can rot and create a depression but if you look all around where he's grinding the stumps those are gas lines and electrical lines and that means those roots are interconnected with those lines wrapped around them so if we go ahead and try to yank those stumps out we're gonna be inevitably damaging those gas lines so our best option at this point is to grind these stumps down that below-grade enough that it will allow us to change the grades without damaging those gas or power lines [Music] so while the stumps are getting ground
