Commerce sits on the I-85 corridor in Jackson County, and that highway access shapes the town. Along with the historic downtown and its older homes, Commerce has a stretch of commercial and business properties, lots, storefronts, and grounds where a stump is not just an eyesore but a liability.
On a commercial property, a stump in a parking strip, a lawn edge, or a walkway border is a tripping hazard for customers and a maintenance headache for the crew that has to mow around it. On the older in-town lots, mature trees come down and leave the same dense hardwood stumps they do anywhere else.
Commercial Grounds and Liability
On a business property, a stump is a problem you can see coming. It is a tripping hazard, a mowing obstacle, and something that sends the wrong signal about how the grounds are kept. Bob grinds it down where it stands so the area is level and safe, without tearing up the surrounding lawn or pavement.
The Rayco track-mounted grinder is compact enough to work on tight commercial lots and along building edges where a big truck cannot maneuver. It handles stumps from 3 inches in diameter up to 8 feet wide.
The Historic Downtown
Commerce's older in-town homes have the same mature hardwoods as other county seats, and when one comes down, the stump is dense and slow to decay. Hardwoods like oak take longer to grind than pine, and some keep sending up sprouts until the stump is ground out.
Bob brings the grinder in and takes the stump down where it stands, then cleans up the grindings so the yard is tidy. Cleanup is part of every job, whether the chips are raked smooth as mulch or hauled away.
Tidy Grounds, Fewer Hazards
For a commercial property manager, the goal is usually a clean, level piece of ground. Bob can haul the chips away to leave a blank slate for sod or landscaping, or rake them smooth where mulch is fine. Either way, the stump is gone and the hazard with it.
For an in-town lot going back to grass, remove most of the chips and fill with topsoil before seeding or sod, because grindings settle as they break down.
