What Happens to Wood Chips After Stump Grinding?

Grinding turns a stump into a surprising volume of chips and soil. Decide what happens to it before the visit.

Leave in place

Chips can be left in the hole and mounded, since the material settles over time.

Spread on site

Some owners use chips as mulch away from the house. Fresh chips are not the same as finished mulch.

Haul away

Removal is a separate item that depends on contractor availability and the approved scope.

Backfill and sod

Topsoil, backfill, and sod are not automatic. Ask whether the contractor offers them.
