Planning Yard Work Around Stump Removal
Stump removal is usually one piece of a bigger yard project. Here is how to sequence it so the rest of the work is not held up.
Do stumps before planting
Grind the stumps before you lay sod or plant so you are not working around an obstacle or disturbing new growth.
Schedule it early in the project so settling can happen before the finish work.
Let the ground settle
The area over a ground-out stump can settle over weeks. Plan topsoil and leveling with that in mind.
For hardscaping over a former stump, ask whether the base needs extra compaction.
Coordinate the crews
If different crews handle trees, grinding, and landscaping, line up the order so no one has to redo work.
A little sequencing now prevents a torn-up lawn later.
