Tom reached out on a Saturday. A previous contractor had ground his 60-inch stump to an average depth of just 3 to 6 inches below grade — enough to hide it, not enough to do anything with the space.
He wanted the remainder of the stump out and a hole pre-dug so he could plant a new tree in the same spot. He'd been struggling to find anyone who would take it on.
The stump sat up a steep bank in a tight spot with no straight shot from the street. We set trailer ramps and worked the machine up the hill to reach it. No ruts, no torn turf — the grass came through untouched.
Sixty inches across, previously ground to only 3–6 inches down. We took it to 18 to 24 inches below grade per Tom's request — through the remaining stump and root mass, leaving a hole ready to receive a new tree.
Tom asked us to leave all material on site, so we did. Start to finish, thirty minutes of work — and a planting hole where a 60-inch stump used to be.
Tom communicated his situation clearly up front, which is what made this move fast. The better the detail we get, the quicker we can quote and schedule.
Planting a new tree where an old one came out? The stump and root mass have to go first, and the hole has to be right. That's work we're set up for — whether we took the tree down or someone else did.
