Can stump grinding be bundled with tree removal?

• <div><p>A standard tree removal doesn’t include stump grinding. If you want your contractor to remove your tree and grind the stump, you must pay an extra charge. That said, you’ll likely save on the cost of stand-alone service—especially if it’s a small tree and they can finish both jobs in a single trip. </p></div>

Is it bad to leave a dead tree stump in the ground?

• <div><p>It can be bad to leave a dead stump in the ground. A stump becomes a hefty piece of dead wood in time and eventually (especially with the help of rain) starts to rot. That makes it a locus point for diseases and pesky insects, as well as a bit of an eyesore. It’s best to remove a tree stump completely before it starts to decay, especially before it starts to fall apart. If the tree was removed because of disease, it’s even more important to fully remove the stump if possible.</p></div>

I haven't had this type of service ever. Right from the get go everything that was promised was performed. The salesman (Kevin) to the install team (Zack and Jamie), all of them were wonderful to work with. I'm really happy with my new windows.
