Backyard Stump Grinding in Royal Oak
Three old stumps in a tight Royal Oak backyard were ground below grade and the area prepped for new sod.
The problem
Narrow side-gate access and a surface root flare spreading into the lawn meant standard equipment wouldn't fit and a simple surface grind wouldn't be enough.
Equipment used
- Gate-width stump grinder
- Root-flare grinding attachment
- Wheelbarrow chip removal
How we protected the property
- Gate posts and siding shielded
- Utilities located before grinding
- Chips removed and area topped with soil
The result
Stumps ground well below grade, root flare chased out, and the yard left ready for sod.
