Commonly Asked Questions

Q: Are you insured?

A: Yes, 100%.

Q: How much does it cost?

A: It depends on the size of the stump, type of wood, location and accessibility, number of stumps, amount of time.

Q: Can’t I just remove my own stump?

A: Calling in a professional can be cheaper than renting a stump grinder and doing the project yourself. Rental grinders are less reliable, take longer, and can easily be damaged.

Q: What kind of equipment is used?

A: Carlton SP 7015 66 HP Diesel Stump Grinder

Q: Is cleanup included?

A: This can be arranged at a cost. Some folks like to repurpose chips for mulch. However, if that is not the case I recommend letting me finish the job. A surprising amount of chips and dirt are generated even after a single stump grinding. I am able to bring a tractor and dump truck to remove all material from the job site.

Q: Can I buy only Vermont top soil and/or compost, without any stump grinding?

A: Absolutely, I offer delivery as well. This material is great when building lawns, gardens, and raised beds. No pesticides or fertilizers have been used.

 

Stump Grinding vs Stump Removal

Grinding utilizes a machine to shred the stump into woodchips. Grinding is faster and more efficient than removal. Also, far less invasive and less expensive. Stump grinding will successfully remove the visible traces of the tree but leave the underground roots intact which will naturally decompose over time. Removal requires bigger, heavier equipment that would be necessary when removing stumps to build roads, driveways, and foundations. Stump grinding is the best method for removing unsightly stumps from lawns, shorelines, golf courses, walking paths, and areas of entertainment and leisure.
