Resolve tree authority before grinding near a Santee street
A stump near a Santee road may remain tied to a tree or location governed by the City's public-property and highway rules. Confirm its status before grinding or cutting visible roots. For a private stump, choose the grinding limit from the site's next use and surrounding utilities. DigAlert coordinates responses for member-owned facilities, while private irrigation, lighting, pool, gas, or electrical lines need separate locating. The written scope should cover equipment access, turns, paving, root work, chips, backfill, settlement, and final grade.
What do Santee homeowners ask about stump grinding?
Does grinding remove all roots from a Santee yard?
No. Grinding reduces the stump but leaves much of the root system. Excavation and structural site preparation are separate scopes.
Can utility marks tell the grinder how deep every line is?
No. Marks do not establish depth and may not include private facilities. The work plan must account for both public and private lines.
