Stump Grinding, in practice
Grinding a few inches down leaves the root plate intact, and on many species that means sprouts coming up around the area for years and a hollow that settles as the wood decays. Going properly below grade is what lets the ground be used again.
Grindings are mostly wood and they will settle substantially as they break down. Backfilling with grindings and topping with topsoil is fine for turf; for a planting bed, taking the grindings away and bringing in soil is the better answer.
