"Hired Will McCarthy of WILLPOWER Stump Grinding to remove a large maple tree stump from my yard. I originally reached out to get an estimate for the job, and Will responded within 24 hours. He was immediately available and able to meet with me soon after the initial contact. His estimate was reasonable and competitive, and as soon as my utility company marked the area through Dig Safe, Will removed the stump, distributed the stump remains in the designated area, and cleaned up the entire site.

"We had Oscar come to to grade our yard and install a short retaining wall. The price was very reasonable and they were very friendly throughout the process. There were however some parts of the job that we were not super happy about. We asked to have the wall slightly extended after they started digging out, which added a small cost (the cost being totally understandable). The extended section of the wall however is not level at all with the rest of the wall. The biggest part that we were unhappy with was the fill used for the grading. Initially I noticed a large pile of concrete/debris being delivered in the yard. I specifically addressed this stating that we were not comfortable using that as fill given the small depth of the area. After being told it would not be used, we have noticed large (bigger than my head for size reference) pieces of asphalt, huge chunks of glass, and pieces of metal and plastic all throughout the area. To call any of that appropriate for "top soil" would be insane. With a dog and a toddler running around that area, the amount of glass is VERY dangerous. The overall area we had graded was large, but not very deep so all the stones, asphalt, glass, and other debris isn't buried very deep down at all and large surface area."

Yes, grinding a stump is worthwhile if you plan to use the area for planting, recreation, or building. Removing the stump clears space for new landscaping or construction projects. Additionally, as the stump decomposes, it can rob the soil of nitrogen, affecting the growth of other plants. Stumps are also a tripping hazard, making removal a wise choice.
The time it takes to grind a stump depends on its size, density, and the grinder's performance. A small, soft stump can be ground in 15 minutes, while a large, dense stump may require up to eight hours for complete removal. Factors like the stump's structure and your grinding technique affect how quickly you can remove it.
Grinding a stump is often the best solution for clearing an area for construction or planting. It removes the visible portion of the stump, but the roots remain underground. If you need to remove the roots for long-term stability or design plans, you'll need to hire a professional for full stump and root removal. This ensures your site is completely cleared for future projects.
Leaving a tree stump in your yard can cause several problems. It can become a breeding ground for pests and diseases that might harm nearby trees and structures. Plus, the decaying stump can interfere with your landscaping plans, making mowing difficult and promoting unwanted new growth that can disrupt soil stability. Removing the stump eliminates these risks and improves your yard's safety and appearance.
To effectively kill a stump, you need to interrupt its nutrient supply and speed up decay. Drill holes into the stump and fill them with a concentrated herbicide like glyphosate, rock salt, or Epsom salt. This method ensures the substance penetrates deeply. Alternatively, cover the stump with a dark, heavy-duty tarp to deprive it of sunlight, which accelerates the process. Remember to follow safety guidelines when using these methods.
