Over pruning reduces the foliage that’s available for making food for the rest of the plant and can allow pests and diseases access to the tree, if cuts are made incorrectly.

How deep CAN THE stump grinder go? We generally grind four to six inches below grade (ground level).  This leaves ample space for planting a new tree, re-establishing lawn or adding to your garden. Stump grinding is a great way to remove stumps and roots with little to no impact to your property.
