Best Way To Remove Larger Mature Yews To Replace With Smaller Yews?

Question

My tree man suggested cutting down and grinding out the stump rather than digging them out. Will this impact the new planting adversely?

Answer 1

Grinding a tree stump is a good way to keep the tree/shrub from returning. It shouldn't affect the new plants.
