A focused brief helps avoid assumptions.

Stump diameter

Photograph the area from a safe position and explain what concerns you.

Machine access

Describe gates, paths, slopes and the surfaces that need protection.

Good questions.
Better outcomes.

Stump dimensions, access, root spread and your preferred depth help define the scope. Include the intended use of the ground.

Explain whether you want to keep the chips or have them removed. Confirm where they can be left and whether backfill is included.

Describe whether the space will become lawn, a planting bed or another surface. Ask how the ground will be left for that next step.
