How much mulch do I need?

Are stump grindings safe to use in the soil or as fillers?

• <div><p>Stump grindings are usually safe to use in soil, but in some cases, it’s not recommended. Wood chips in particular can bind nitrogen in the soil, which will make it difficult for grass to grow. That’s why it’s important to remove most wood chips and use healthy garden soil if you want to cover the stump spot with grass. Large wood chips may attract beetles and could encourage the growth of fungi when they decay, so you may want to remove them when using the grindings. </p></div>

The only company that replies to my request for work. My only complaint is that they didn't clean up all the debris from the root removal process. Leaving a mound of debris for myself to try and dispose of and put topsoil for grass down. Unacceptable!!
