Stump Grinding
Stump grinding in progress
Stump grinding is a common procedure in which a stump is ground to below the surface of the earth. The area where the stump was is then covered with topsoil, so that you are able to plant grass or sod and then blend the remaining hole with the landscape. Some people find stumps to be pretty unsightly and would rather plant a new tree, so stump grinding may be a suitable option for you.
Stump grinding is similar to putting a "band-aid" on the stump. It grinds the stump low enough for grass to grow on top, though because there are still roots underneath the stump, if you wish to plant a new tree, you will have to move over five feet.
A large machine called a stump grinder is used to chip away at the stump. Stump grinding is usually the final step in the tree removal process. The tree crew usually leaves the remaining stump a foot high for the stump grinder to remove. Stump grinders usually come in different forms, sizes, and shapes. Some are remote-control based, and others operate via handles on the machines. Stump grinding is not viable for places where there may be construction or buildings or development in or around the vicinity of the stump, because of the safety hazard that may occur with roots still being left in the area. If the stump is present, then builders know there are roots around. However, if the stump is gone, building may unnecessarily take place and fail because of knowledge of the root system underneath.
Once the stump grinder is engaged with the stump, it will move back and forth away at the stump, chipping away 2 inches at a time. Once the stump grinding process is finished, there will be mulch which is able to settle. If you plant new shrubs or trees, you need to remove the mulch from this area. The mulch may be used for your plants to maintain the moisture of the soil.

Tree Stump Grinding: Before and After
Full Tree Stump Removals
Full stump removals require the stump to be uprooted with all its roots before the stump itself may be cut. This is vastly labor intensive. For recently planted trees which have died, this may be done by hand alone. For older trees, you most likely need much larger equipment. You may need to call special help if you have other things in the vicinity, such as underground sprinkler pipes or surrounding turf which may be damaged by the equipment.
Cost is affected by factors such as soil type. (eg. rocky soil), wood hardness, and tree locations. If you plan on building any sort of building around this area, you will most likely need to remove the stump and its roots, so that the roots do not mess with the underlying foundation.

Other Options
Other options include rotting agents and leaving it alone. Rotting agents are able to be purchased from your local hardware store. We drill holes into your tree and then pour the rotting pellets into the holes and water it. This process takes ten years to rot away a stump. The species of the tree also determines how much time it takes to rot away. If you wish to leave your stump alone, it may take twenty years for it to rot.
