Chippers, Stump Cutters & Splitters

The machine being used is very expensive. The pre and post job maintenance on the machine is exhaustive and time consuming. The carbide teeth that act as the cutting surface wear down quickly and are costly. So, all of the above factors go into our pricing structure. But hopefully, at the end of the day we can make a little profit for an honest day's work.

A machine that has a large spinning wheel with carbide metal teeth on it gradually removes the stump inch by inch in a fan-like pattern.

Anywhere from 10 minutes to 60 minutes or more per stump on average.

Grinding is typically done to a maximum depth of 6". In most cases this is sufficient for the replanting or sodding of new lawn surfaces.

First, measure it from the ground up. This is the HEIGHT of the stump. To minimize your costs, try to have this cut as low to the ground as possible before renting. Second, measure it from side to side AT THE BOTTOM (not at the top). Whatever and wherever you want to be removed should be measured from side to side. This is the WIDTH of stump.

These machines are for effectively reducing the volume of wood, branches, and other organic material in typical applications anywhere from light commercial to municipalities and rentals.

Stump grinding is a mechanical process of removing the visible portion of a tree that remains after it has been cut down.

There are several types of machines in use. We utilize a portable but powerful self-propelled model that is small enough to get in backyards and through gates as small as 36" wide. Additionally, the self-propelled machine that we utilize will have far less of an impact on your lawn than a larger pull-behind unit connected to a 4X4 truck.

Chippers come with gravity or hydraulic feed, powered by an engine package or a tractor PTO. A hydraulic feed machine has a hydraulic driven feed roller to efficiently feed branches to the chipper disc.

You should rent a machine if you have a unique or very limited job.
