How to Measure a Stump

When it comes to measuring a stump, many people believe that you measure at the top of the cut. Unfortunately, this is incorrect. As stumps get closer to the ground, and even go into the ground, they flair out. When measuring your stump, you have to measure from the widest point at ground level. Remember, what you see at ground level isn’t as large as the proper grinding area of the stump, as the flair continues under the soil.
