Stump Grinding for Tree Replanting — Aboite Lake Estates, Fort Wayne

We recently completed a stump grinding job in the Aboite Lake Estates subdivision of Fort Wayne, where the customer had plans to plant a new tree but needed a large stump removed first. To prepare the area properly, we ground the stump 2 feet deep to ensure the root system would not interfere with the new planting.
