Match the method to your next use of the ground, rather than to the stump you can see.

Why a root beside a lawn, path or foundation needs a tree decision before a cutting decision.

Plan a usable yard without treating every raised root as something to grind away.

Coordinate the tree decision with the hardscape repair, so a new surface does not hide an unresolved conflict.

Record what is growing and where before deciding whether the next step is grinding, removal or monitoring.

Two problems can involve the same tree, but they need different evidence and different work.

Make room forwhat comes next.
