I have never used and don’t see a need to grinding a stump, I just just the tree up and as low as possible and let nature do the rest… But then again, I don’t care if the neighbors like my yard or not, they are lucky (and happy lol) that it gets cut and trimmed every other week when it is growing, to each their own… Both neighbors on either side of the house in the pic have Immaculate yards, then their is ours, lol… Never been one to try to keep up with the Jones, after a hard days work on my feet and around hot cars with back breaking work, was normally to tired to care what the yard looked like, for the 1st 6 months we lived in that house, the neighbors thought my wife was a widow… My neighbor worked long hours also but at a desk job, he said he didn’t blame me that he would be the same way if he had my job, but he said after programming or whatever he did all day, he had to do physical work to burn off some energy and get his mind off of work… Other neighbor is a retired Tanker driver (Exxon)…
Some people like yard work and use it to decompress after work, me, I hate yard work and had rather be in the garage… lol
My brother is one that enjoys yard work and the only reason both yards get mowed every other week, before that, sometimes I mowed once a week and sometimes it was a month out and the grass was very high… lol
