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?

This is Turtle

I think he just give you a verible disclaimer as to something going wrong.

I have seen a bunch of Stumps ground down deep but none have I seen shake enough
to break pipes or break anything a lose. If it is pine trees you feel very
little. If it is Oak trees you may feel a little vibration but nothing to speak
of or fear damage to pipes or house. Now if the pipe is very close to the stump
, he could hit the pipe with his machine and break them for they cut as much as
3 feet from the stump's edge when cutting it deep.

I think your worring too much.
