Why Not to Wait
In the warm humid climate of coastal NC a stump near your home can establish a termite colony within one season. Our coastal trees develop broad shallow root systems so mention surface roots when getting quotes.
Grinding removes the stump 6 to 12 inches below grade and is right for 90% of situations. Full excavation is only needed if you are building or installing a pool in the exact same spot.
