Stump Grinding
Our advanced stump grinding service utilizes a 2021 Rayco RG80 machine with 85HP engine to safely remove stumps up to 48" diameter. The process generates compostable mulch that remains on-site, preserving soil nutrients while preparing your property for new landscaping projects. We implement safety measures including debris screens and utility location to protect your property and landscape.
Yard Renovation
We specialize in comprehensive yard renovation projects, removing unwanted vegetation including hedgerows, holly, and boxwoods. Our equipment handles complete lot and pasture clearing while maintaining surrounding landscape integrity. The process creates optimal conditions for new sod installation, retaining walls, or outdoor living spaces through precise stump and root removal.
Deck Installation
Before deck or fence installation, we clear stumps and roots to ensure stable foundations. Our grinding process reaches 12-18" below ground level, creating level surfaces for concrete footings. We maintain safe working zones during preparation and leave behind nutrient-rich mulch for landscaping beds around new structures.
Emergency Services
We offer same-day stump grinding services for urgent needs when contacted before 10 AM. Our rapid response team handles storm-damaged trees and time-sensitive projects using mobile equipment that accesses tight spaces through 43" gate openings without damaging property.
Hedgerow Removal
Our specialized equipment removes entire hedgerows including holly, boxwoods, and junipers. The process grinds roots and stumps simultaneously, eliminating regrowth potential while preserving surrounding vegetation. This service prepares land for new planting beds, parking pads, or recreational areas with minimal disruption to existing landscapes.
