It really depends on your specific goal for your yard. Stump grinding involves grinding the stump below ground level but leaving the root system intact. It's faster and more affordable than total removal, and it causes much less wear on your yard. Conversely, stump removal uses heavy machinery to dig deep and pull up both the stump and the root system, effectively eliminating all parts of the tree and preventing possible regrowth. Removal is better if your goal for the area is to prevent root interference or to prep for a new construction project.

Grading is beneficial for several reasons, including:

• New construction or additions - If you're installing new fixtures around the exterior of your home, then grading is necessary to provide a smooth, level surface to support them. Patios, concrete walkways, decks, sheds, sunrooms, and other new installations need even ground to rest on or they won't have adequate stability.
• Drainage - Grading ensures that rainwater drains in the direction away from your home or building's foundation, ensuring it doesn't suffer water damage from pooling and flooding.
• New landscaping - To install new flower beds, gardens, fountains, retaining walls, or other forms of landscaping, you need to have a flat, even surface first to ensure functionality.
• Prevent soil erosion - Grading keeps soil erosion from occuring, so that it can't damage landscaping or lead to uneven land around your property.
• Enhance curb appeal - A level yard is the most visually appealing, which means that grading can help dramatically improve the look of your home and increase its curb appeal. You'll have no more awkward slants or humps, only a smooth landscape to complement the rest of your home's beauty.

Grading is necessary before putting in a new driveway or patio because it provides a smooth, even surface to support the new installation adequately. Without preliminary grading work, your driveway or patio will likely end up suffering damage in the long run. Uneven ground can lead to water pooling around the concrete, causing it to gradually weaken and deteriorate prematurely. It can also concrete to shift, crack, or sink over time. Collectively, these issues result in undue damage, the shortened lifespan of your new installation, and an overall poor appearance of your home. That's why grading is an unavoidable necessity for most exterior additions on your property.

Leaving a tree stump on your property may lead to issues such as pest infestation, root interference, tree regrowth, reduced curb appeal, and potential fall hazards. To ensure that none of these problems plague your property, it's best to schedule a stump grinding service proactively.
