No Need To Dig Your Stumps Out, We Can Help!

David Burges • February 17, 2020

We understand some people just want to do things on their own, without help from others.  That is how I am.  We sometimes find out towards the end its better to get a professional to do the job. 

I Have Been There Myself

I have taken on projects that I should have hired a pro to do.  Sometimes they turn out just fine, or I may learn a new talent in the process of trial and error.  Other times I have jumped in over my head and realized I have taken on way more than I should have.  There is nothing wrong with admitting you have gotten in over your head and need help.


Stumps Can Be Deceiving 

Small stumps may look like they will be simple to dig up, and some may be.  Most stumps have a very intricate root system, making them very difficult to dig up.  If your lucky you may spend only a few hours and if not so lucky it may take several days or longer.  After you get the stump dug out what are you going to do with it...


Admit Defeat 

I have been hired lots of time to grind stumps that someone has tried to dig up.  Sometimes they have dug most of their yard up trying to get the stump out, only to discover they took on way more than expected.  There comes a point when your realize "I am getting nowhere" and you have to throw in the white flag of defeat.


Think Positively

We all make bad decisions from time to time, but trying to dig the stump up on your on may not have been all bad.  If it had worked out you would have saved yourself some money.  Even though things may not have worked out as planned you did get plenty of exercise in the process and to be truthful it was probably fun at first.  If you were successful in digging the stump up you accomplished something few would attempt and congratulations.   

What To Do Now 

Set back and relax if you were successful and give yourself a pat on the back.  If not so lucky.... you too deserve to set back relax and be proud of what you almost accomplished, then when ready contact us.  We will be very understanding and more than happy to help you with your new found problem.  As always you will get a no pressure, no obligation quote.  If you decide to have us remove the pesky stump you never pay until the job is completed and the quote is always free.

Improving Curb Appeal There are many reasons to improve curb appeal. Some people may be interested in a new look, and change the landscaping. Others are thinking about selling their house and wanting to make it more attractive. While others realize they need to do something to keep their yard from being the eyesore in the neighborhood. Stumps Are Often Overlooked Sometimes something small is all it takes to make a big difference, but it is overlooked because you just don't think about it or know there is a way to get it done. I am talking about stumps. They are simple and often overlooked. In some cases people don't want them but have no idea of how to go about getting rid of them. Something Small Can Make A Big Difference If your looking to have a new look you may have to do something bigger like repaint your house or change your landscaping, but not always. If a stump is in your yard, removing the stump gives you more usable landscape and opens your yard up to more possibilities. Someone looking to purchase a house may find the perfect house but something about the appearance outside is just no quite right, and they can't figure it out. If the stump had been removed before it went on the market it may improve not only the chance of it selling quickly but may increase to property value.
