Mature oaks in older Durham neighborhoods often leave roots running across the lawn well beyond the stump. Lateral roots can spread two to three times as far as the tree's canopy did, so it's worth deciding which roots actually need to go: the ones you trip over or hit with the mower. Stumpbook lists surface root grinding in the Triangle as an add-on of about $2 per linear foot. Providers usually grind roots a few inches below the surface rather than tracing them out completely, since the rest will break down over the next 5 to 10 years. Roots near a driveway, sidewalk or the street often sit near buried lines, so NC 811 marks matter as much here as for the stump. State rules require hand digging within 24 inches of a marked line.
