If someone says your little John Deere can’t push the whole tree…
“Hold my beer”. 😁 👍

This past weekend we took on a couple big ones with a twist.
Two standing oaks, left at around 7 1/2 ft tall and both grown around steel clothes line poles with concrete filler.
After the guys wrestled with the first one getting it cut, we want to say thank you to Timbers Tree Services LLC for taking time from their very busy schedule to come take down the other! Speaking of other, it came with its own extra hazard in the form of some wicked man eating wild blackberry bushes. 😬
Each stump about six foot across, was , at first, typical grinding. When they start getting close to the posts, that’s when it gets even trickier and they really have to be careful to not hit the metal causing broken teeth, damage to the machine, or worse, harming the operator. They took as much stump from around them as they could, then it made it possible to take them off below ground level.
After removing all extra mulch and smoothing everything out, the area is now ready for a soil topping and seed for new grass.

Happy Almost Spring! 🌼 🌺

We took on what could have been a hazardous job. Luckily I was able to pull and dig out most of the debris that was in it before Gary started grinding.

This stump was filled with fencing, concret chunks, what looked to possibly be parts of a small metal cabinet and other assorted metal and junk.
Much of this stuff not only can cause major damage to the machine, but poses a serious risk of injury to the operator.
When the machine is running, it can catch anything and quickly wrap it up around the cutter wheel, or throw it if not seen in time. The carbide tipped teeth are pretty strong but can be broken when slammed against concrete or steel at 3600rpm. (Replaceable but a little pricey. We know it happens, but we do try to avoid it.) This is why we are thankful if you could clear the area around the stump when possible before we are to grind. (If you are unable, of course we do what we can.)
In this client’s defense, she just purchased the property and is out of town, so it was up to us.

Many people hope to save money by burning their stumps out, and we don’t blame them, heck we try to save money when we can also, but this doesn’t always work quickly, if at all.
If you’re going to try this, that’s up to you but know that when a stump is charred, it makes cutting it lower no longer an option because it will quickly dull and ruin a chain. This means added grinding time and adds cost to the job.
Side note, burning your stumps can also become a danger underground. Fire can spread to the roots and can continue to smolder underground, even when you think you have put it out.
We don’t recommend burning, it’s better to call us and just have it taken care of in a matter of hours. 🙂

Experienced and insured.

This past weekend a call for stump removal turned in to a little more than we normally do. LoL
When our client asked if we could take away this landscaping that he had put in many years ago, we decided to get to work and put his yard back to flat again. 😁
A little John Deere tractor, dump trailer, Gary, myself and the help of my little sister and our 3 grandkids…I think it turned out looking pretty good. 👍 Best of all, our client thought so too.
