Doug's Stump Removal (607) 267-9636

Clean-up and reseeding

A ground-out stump leaves grindings, a mix of wood chips and dirt. Doug hauls them away or leaves them, your choice, and can finish the spot with topsoil, grass seed and hay.

The grindings

Grinding turns the stump into grindings: wood chips and dirt. Some people keep them, some want the spot clear. Tell Doug which at the estimate and that is how the job finishes.

Topsoil, seed and hay

For a lawn, the spot can be finished with topsoil and grass seed, with hay over the top. Doug's Facebook page puts it simply: clean-up of grinding debris and re-seeding of the work site.

Planting again

If a bush or tree is going back in the same area, say so at the estimate. The grinder reaches 25 inches down, which is deep enough for replanting.

Customers on the clean-up

If you have an ugly stump in your yard, Doug from Doug's Stump Removal is all you need. He highly exceeded my expectations. I was not at home when he came to do the job. But when I returned, what a surprise, the stump was gone. Not a trace it had ever been there, just the straw from the clean up was the only way to tell it had ever been there at all. Great Job DOUG!!

Questions

Can you leave the grindings?

Yes. Grindings left on site or hauled away is your choice.

Will you haul the grindings away?

Yes, if you want the spot clear.

Do you reseed?

Yes. The spot can be finished with topsoil, grass seed and hay.

Will I be able to tell where the stump was?

The aim, in Doug's words, is that you wouldn't even know a tree or stump was ever there.
