Frequently asked questions
Why does my cottonwood stump keep sprouting new growth?
New growth can mean living roots remain, but appearance alone doesn't show how much root tissue is active. Ask a provider to assess the stump, root flare, and visible shoots. The written scope should explain whether grinding fits your goal and what follow-up may be needed.
Can you grind an old stump that has been dead for years?
Often, yes. Feasibility depends on access, nearby obstacles, stump condition, root spread, and how you plan to use the area. A provider can inspect the site and explain the practical grinding options.
Does hackberry or bur oak resprout the way cottonwood does?
Species alone cannot predict whether a particular stump will resprout. Ask the provider to inspect any new shoots and the visible stump and root area. The proposed scope should reflect the actual condition and your plans for the site.
How deep does a stump actually need to be ground?
The needed grind depth depends on what you want to do with the area afterward. Reseeding, landscaping, paving, and replanting may require different scopes. Ask the provider to state the planned depth, grind area, debris handling, and treatment of visible surface roots in writing.
Is it worth grinding an old elm stump left from Dutch elm disease?
It may be worthwhile if the stump interferes with mowing, access, landscaping, or future use of the area. Do not assume disease caused the earlier removal based on the stump's age or species. Ask the provider to assess its condition and quote the scope needed for your intended result.
