            <h2 class="section-title">Grinding vs. Full Excavation Which Do You Need?</h2>
            <p>Most people searching for "stump removal" actually want stump grinding and for most residential jobs, grinding is the right choice. It's faster, cheaper, and leaves the root system to decompose naturally without major excavation.</p>
            <p>Full stump excavation (complete root ball removal) is needed when you're installing a driveway, pouring a concrete slab, or building right up to the edge of the old tree. It's more work, more disruption, and more cost but sometimes it's the only option that works.</p>
            <p>We do both. Tell us what the site will be used for and we'll recommend the right approach.</p>

  <div class="faq-question"><span>What is the difference between stump grinding and stump removal?</span><span class="faq-icon">+</span></div>
  <div class="faq-answer"><p>Stump grinding uses a machine to grind the stump down to chips below ground level. Full stump removal excavates the entire root system. Grinding is quicker, cheaper, and sufficient for most residential jobs. Full removal is needed when you're building a driveway, laying a slab, or need complete root removal.</p></div>
</div><div class="faq-item">
  <div class="faq-question"><span>How long does stump removal take?</span><span class="faq-icon">+</span></div>
  <div class="faq-answer"><p>Grinding a stump typically takes 30–90 minutes. Full excavation removal depends on the root system and can take half a day or more for a large tree.</p></div>
</div><div class="faq-item">
  <div class="faq-question"><span>Does stump grinding kill the tree?</span><span class="faq-icon">+</span></div>
  <div class="faq-answer"><p>Yes — grinding removes the energy source and the tree cannot regenerate. Some species (like camphor laurel or Queensland brush box) may produce sucker growth from remaining roots for a season, but these can be treated with herbicide or cut back until they exhaust themselves.</p></div>
