Why grind instead of leaving it

Why it matters

  1. Stops pest issues

    Old stumps attract termites and carpenter ants near the house.

  2. Usable yard space

    Grind it down and the spot is plantable again the same week.

  3. Removes a trip hazard

    Especially relevant near driveways, patios, and play areas.
