    Stump grinding

    That was my impression... I've never heard of someone enjoying a rental stump grinder experience. For me, profit margins grinding stumps have always been substantially more viable than mulching here in the South. Mulching you'll have $130k minimum in your CTL and mulching head (new), easily...

    Stump grinding

    That reminded me of part of an atypical job we did on a construction job last year at MSU. Had to grind down to the engineered depth/through the bottom of the stump, excavate the material, and backfill with specific dirt. This was part of a larger job and 45 miles from the house... this was...

    Another tree/stump from this month, a ~3' pine. You can kinda see the mound from the roots above "common grade". Took 24 minutes. Would have probably been a $250 bid if it was a stand alone grinding job.

    That picture isn't great for seeing the root mound, which can greatly increase the grinding time. Like on the video I posted, the stump was 4.5' in diameter (measure one way, measure 90* to that and average), but it was 4' tall. I forget but I think it was 9' or 11' where the grass started...

    Stump grinding

    No, the common grade is where the grade would be if there never was a tree there. On a 6' stump the roots will normally have a mound around the trunk that could be a foot higher than the common grade. That stump looks considerably smaller than 6' in diameter. Grass won't grow on wood chips...

    Stump grinding

    A 6' stump has 4x the wood of a ~3' stump and 10x the wood of a ~2' stump. Definitely not something I'd want to do with a handle bar machine. I generally go a minimum of 8" below common grade. On stump that large the dirt around the stump could be mounded a foot above common grade. You...
