Stump grinding
An old stump can get in the way of mowing or the next landscaping project. Ask about grinding depth, cleanup, and how the space will be left afterward.

A clearer plan before the work begins
The details of your property matter. A narrow gate, a nearby garage, or landscaping you want to protect should all be part of the estimate conversation. So should your expectations for hauling away debris and restoring the work area.
Start by identifying the tree or stump, explaining your concern, and describing what you want the finished space to look like. Then ask for a written scope so you know what is included.
