Why stump removing is preferable to stump grinding

Stump grinding leaves the roots in the ground and they'll eventually rot, causing sinkholes. While rotting, the stumps become a feast for bugs including termites.

Most roots have pushed the soil up, resulting in a bumpy uneven yard. Stump grinding is especially unsuitable when a patio, driveway or walk is going to built where the stumps were, certainly not the best method for a nice level yard for games, sports or simply good looks. 

Our stump elimination method, removing the roots with the stump, will give you a quality yard that doesn't deteriorate. Your  complete satisfaction is our goal.

"Our backyard had a large unsightly mess of brush, old tree stumps, piles of dirt and debris, etc. that had bothered us for years. We engaged the services of Phil's Landscaping to cleanup this area and we could not have been happier with the work they did.  

"They were extremely professional, showed up on time, were very reasonably priced, but most of all they did meticulous work that far exceeded our expectations. We love our new backyard and have recommended Phil's Excavating to our friends and neighbors."

“Through my six plus years of experience working with John on a variety of excavation and landscape related projects at my home in Franklin, I have found John to be a very dependable, diligent and talented contractor.  John has provided a wide range of services including driveway and parking area layout, grading and drainage work; tree and stump removal; rough and fine grading of turf, planting and landform areas; as well as procuring, transporting and setting numerous multi-ton pieces of ledge in naturalistic rock-outcrop settings.  In addition, he recently carved out a 1/4 mile woodland walking trail with minimal disturbance and a small footprint using his mini-excavator, helping me to save trees and reduce my overall cost. 

John has also worked as a sub-contractor for me on a recent landscape restoration project completed in Needham, MA.  He is a creative problem-solver who understands design intent and provides valuable input and insight into the design-build process.  John can work independently and just as easily act as an extension of the architect's or designer's hands, manipulating his machines with great skill and dexterity.  The next project I have planned is a hillside water feature with a stream and pond and I know John is up to the task.”

"As Chris (my husband) said, John was like a surgeon with that machinery! And he saved this silly little white pine that I just couldn't let go of and it was surrounded by stumps and rocks. He also gave great ideas for a pond. Thanks again - it was great working with you and you really made the yard look much better than we thought possible."
