Stump Grinding in Loomis, CA

Loomis properties tend to have room, which sounds like it makes the job easier and often doesn't.

The stump is usually well back from the road, and the way to it is a 36-inch walk gate rather than the driveway — pipe corral, field fence, or a run of hot wire that doesn't open anywhere useful. The grinder isn't going over a pasture fence, so the first thing we sort out is the actual route, not the distance.

Valley oak, live oak, and old fruit wood

Big Loomis oaks are a real grind. Valley oak and live oak are dense, they take time, and one mature stump can put out more chips than three pines. It's worth knowing that going in so the pile isn't a surprise.

Old fruit wood from the orchard years is the opposite: smaller diameter, several stems, and it moves quickly. If you've got a row of them along a fence line, we'll take the whole row so you can mow a straight pass instead of steering around six bumps.

Either way it's 6 to 12 inches under, which is enough for a tractor, a mower, or a truck to cross without catching anything.

Wells, leach fields, and things in the grass

A lot of Loomis is still on a well, and the lid frequently sits in the same stretch of grass as the stump. Same goes for leach lines and irrigation running out to a pasture or a garden.

Point them out and it's a non-event. We work right up next to lids regularly. What we won't do is assume a line isn't there because it isn't visible.

Call (530) 401-5225 with the lot, the gate width, and roughly how wide the stump is.
