Hey all -
I have a question regarding the removal of a stump on a tree (spruce) that blew over in a storm. Homeowner requested stump grinding on a spruce (approx. 3.5' DBH) that fell over over, pulling up the root system with it. The root system (including soil) is approx. 6'+ high.
My question is: should I let the root system 'sit back down' and remove the stump via grinder, or just "take" the whole system (a heavy, big, soil-laden, root system that will leave a large gap in the yard.) Either way, I know this will not be a 'pretty job' when finished...
Sorry, no pix - my celly takes garbage pix in undesirable weather.
Thanks in advance for your ideas.
