What are the cons of stump grinding?
Root Decay. After stump grinding, the roots are also chopped up. This can lead to decay and fungus growth in the remaining wood. If you have plans to replant the area where the stump was removed, this could be a problem.

Can you remove a stump without a stump grinder?
The best ways to remove stumps include physical removal by digging it out and cutting away the roots, chemical removal to speed up the natural process of rotting, or using fire to smolder it down.
