Confirm authority and buried facilities before grinding
National City stump grinding should follow a clear decision about who controls the former tree and surrounding ground. If the stump came from a City tree, ask the City whether stump or root work is included in its authorization before disturbing the site. For private property, contact DigAlert before powered grinding or excavation and arrange separate locating for irrigation, lighting, drains, and customer-owned lines. Decide whether the site will become lawn, planting, paving, or construction, then specify the grinding limit, visible roots, chips, backfill, settlement, and final grade.
What do National City homeowners ask about stump grinding?
Does City approval to remove a tree include stump grinding?
Don't assume it does. Ask National City to confirm the exact authorized work before grinding roots or changing the surrounding surface.
Will DigAlert identify every irrigation or private electrical line?
No. Utility members generally mark facilities they own or maintain. Private systems require separate locating arrangements.
