Scope the result
Confirm whether grinding is included with removal, the expected depth, root flare handling, chip removal, backfill and restoration. These items vary by provider and site.
Check below ground
Before any digging or grinding, have the provider explain how underground utilities and private lines will be identified. Do not assume visible features show every buried line.
BEFORE YOU DECIDE
Ask for a written scope.
Confirm what work is included, who handles debris, and whether permit or utility coordination applies. Compare provider credentials and availability directly.
