Before and After

Stumps in lawns, stumps on a slope, a pine crowded against a fence, an oak sitting right on top of a well lid. Same machine every time — what changes is how we get to it and what's in the way.

What the ground looks like when we pull out

A clean hole below grade, chips either piled or spread, and grass you can still mow around.

Taking photos of your own stump

Three shots and we can usually tell you what we're dealing with: the stump from about ten feet back, the gate or side yard we'd be coming through, and anything close to it — AC unit, well lid, irrigation box, retaining wall, propane tank, fence line.

Text them to (530) 401-5225. That's usually faster than a phone description and it saves a trip out for both of us.
