Stump grinding reduces a stump to chips below grade—but the root system remains and decays over years. For most residential situations, that is perfectly acceptable. For projects where root decomposition would cause subsidence under a patio, compromise a foundation, or interfere with drainage systems, complete stump and root ball extraction is the right solution.
Lehigh Acres has seen significant residential development in recent years. New construction, driveway expansions, pool installations, and hardscape projects regularly require ground that is completely clear of organic material that could settle or decompose after installation. We extract the full root mass in those situations, preparing the site for whatever comes next.
