Size is only the start
Diameter matters, but the visible top is not the whole job. Root flare, wood hardness, and the desired grind depth can change the time and equipment needed.
Access can change everything
Los Angeles properties often have narrow gates, steps, slopes, tight side yards, and delicate hardscape. If equipment access is limited, the job may take longer.
Cleanup choices
- Leave grindings onsite as mulch
- Haul grindings away
- Backfill the area for replanting
- Grind extra surface roots
- Coordinate with a tree removal job
