Left alone, a stump doesn't rot away on any useful timeline - it just occupies the spot for years. Grinding solves that in one visit: the wood goes below grade, and the ground is usable again the same day.
About five inches under the surface is the standard depth, which is plenty for grass to fill back in or a small bed to go over top. Planning to plant something in that exact spot instead? Say so up front and the grind goes deeper to make room for new roots.
No - the machine stays confined to the stump itself and a narrow ring around it, and the chips it throws off get hauled away before the crew leaves rather than dumped for you to bag later.
Grinders come small enough to fit through most Riverdale gates and laneways, so a stump wedged into a narrow side yard rarely gets turned away. Mention the gate or gap width when booking and the right-sized machine shows up.
Anything close to the surface, the stump included, gets ground down and cleared off. The deeper root system is left to break down naturally over a season or two, and it causes no problems sitting there in the meantime.

Before the shape of the cut gets decided, the route to the tree usually does - most of Riverdale's side yards allow one person through and nothing wider. Once that's settled, the visit does its actual job: lightening the limbs most likely to snap, and pulling growth back from the roofline, the wires overhead and whatever's parked below.

Gravity gets every dead branch eventually - the only choice is whether it happens on a schedule you set or the one the next windstorm picks. Given the age of Riverdale's trees and how little clearance most of them grow in, this is one of the most-called jobs on the books.

Wind takes down a limb or splits a trunk and the clock starts - somebody has to make that property safe, day or night. Emergency storm damage cleanup exists for exactly that window, and a tight lot doesn't buy anyone extra time.

A tree that's past saving, actively hazardous, or simply rooted where nothing else can fix the problem gets removed - wood, debris and cleanup, start to finish.

A tree doesn't have to come down just because it's outgrown the space around it. When a canopy has spread further than the roofline underneath or the fence next door can comfortably handle, cutting its wind resistance and its footprint down a size - without touching the trunk - is usually the better fix.

Say the whole tree checks out except for one low fork that's begun to separate. Taking the entire thing down over that single defect throws away everything that's still working fine, when a length of cable or a brace at exactly that point can hold the union together instead - shade, size and yard presence all stay put.
