What Happens After Stump Is Removed?
The stump will be reduced by grinding it into pieces or completely breaking it into smaller chunks. These pieces are then hauled away in a dumpster or truck that can hold heavy loads.
Once this is done, all that will remain of the stump is a small hole in the ground, which can be filled with dirt or grass seed to cover it up again. This makes it possible to use your yard space again.
