I agree with everyone else. Vibration was not a problem when I had it done.
Only thing that broke was the stump grinder when he hit a metal spike the
previous owner had driven in (unknown to me). It threw a grinder tooth 10
feet and planted itself deeply into a fence (fortunately not a leg). Have
him run a metal detector over the stump for safety if you are unsure and
don't stick around to watch. Didn't cost me extra but wasted 1.5 man hours
of labor I was paying for (they were doing other landscape tasks too)

I wanted to remove a tree in my front yard and the company I contacted

gave
me a quote. He also said he can grind deep into the ground if I plan to
plant another tree. This sounds like a good idea so I said let's do it.

He
then told me if he were to do this it could cause problems I need to be
aware of. I am glad he brought it up and now I am not so sure...he said

the
grinder is a mean machine and when it grinds it is loud and it shakes like
hell. He said it has been know to shake in such a way it knock loose
dentures, or cause copper water pipes to crack inside walls or PVC drains

to
snap open under slabs or sometimes windows to misalign such that it gets
"sticky". It sounds like it might not be worth it...or am I worrying too
much?
