Crawford is a small Oglethorpe County town sitting just east of Lexington, along the road that runs out toward the Broad River country. It is quiet and rural, with a short stretch of in-town blocks giving way to wooded acreage, hunting land, and home sites carved out of the surrounding woods. About 18 miles from our Hull base, Crawford is the kind of place where the trees and the fields share the property lines and the lots have room to spread out.
Out here, stumps come with the land. Timber gets cut back to open up a pasture, an old tree comes down along a fence row, or a wooded lot gets cleared for a new home site, and the stumps stay behind wherever the cutting stopped. A ground-out stump and a raked patch of chips is usually what stands between a cleared lot and one you can actually use.
Wooded Acreage and Hunting Land
Much of the land around Crawford is wooded acreage and hunting tracts, and stumps out here tend to sit where a timber cut or a clearing stopped. A stump in a cleared lane or along a field edge is in the way of the mower, the truck, or the next round of planting, and grinding it out where it stands is the quickest way to clear it.
The Rayco track-mounted grinder handles stumps from 3 inches in diameter up to 8 feet wide. Its tracks let it work on rough, rooty ground and slopes where a big truck cannot go, which is exactly the terrain common on the larger tracts around here.
Timber Cuts and Fence Rows
Timber cuts and fence-row clearings are a frequent source of stumps in this part of the county. When a stand is taken out, the stumps are what is left, often in a line where the trees stood. Grinding them down clears the way for fencing, mowing, or a cleaner edge to the field.
Because the grinder works in place, there is no digging out a root ball and no torn-up ground around it. The stump becomes chips right where it stood, and the chips are raked smooth or hauled off when the grinding is done.
Raked Smooth or Hauled Away
On open ground, leaving the grindings raked smooth as mulch is a common choice, since the chips blend back into the soil over time. For a spot you want to fence, build on, or keep clean, hauling the chips away leaves a clean slate. You tell Bob what you want done with the grindings.
If you plan to plant or fence where the stump was, removing most of the chips first helps, because grindings settle as they break down. A raked, level spot is what you are left with either way, and the rest of the job is scheduled from a quote.

Crawford Stump Grinding — Common Questions
Can the grinder get onto wooded acreage and hunting land near Crawford?
Yes. The Rayco is track-mounted, so it works on rough, rooty ground and slopes where a wheeled machine cannot go. Wooded tracts are a common job out here.
Do you clear stumps left after a timber cut?
Yes. Stumps left after a timber cut or a clearing are a frequent call. Bob grinds them down where they stand, one or many in a single visit.
Can I plant or fence where the stump was?
Yes. Remove most of the chips and fill the spot with topsoil first, because grindings settle as they break down. Then you can plant, seed, or run a fence line.
How do I get a quote for a stump in Crawford?
