Before You Rely on This

This website tries to be accurate and useful, but some limits are worth spelling out.

General, not tailored

Advice here about depth, roots, chips, replanting or renting a grinder is general. Your yard, soil and stump may be different. Ask about your own situation before acting on it.

Not tree-health advice

We aren't arborists. Nothing here is advice on the health or safety of standing trees, or on which roots of a living tree can be cut. Speak to a qualified arborist for that.

Rules change

Notes about Ontario One Call, the Region's woodland by-law and municipal boulevard trees were checked when written, but rules and procedures change. Check with the organization concerned before relying on them.

Prices

Cost figures are estimates from published listings and aren't a quote for your job.

Machinery is dangerous

If you decide to rent and run a stump grinder yourself, follow the rental company's instructions and safety gear requirements, and book locates first.
