Lavonia sits in Franklin County near Lake Hartwell, and a good share of the properties out here are lake homes and lots with water access. The lake draws homeowners who want a cleared, usable yard, whether for a cabin, a rental, or a homesite with a view, and the stumps that come with those properties are often in the way of that.
Lake properties have their own quirks. Sloped ground, tight access between the house and the water, and the line between private land and public land all matter when a stump needs to come out. Bob brings the track-mounted grinder to your property and grinds the stump down where it stands.
Lake Homes and Lots
On a lake home or lot, a stump is often on sloped ground or in a tight spot between the house, the drive, and the water. The Rayco track-mounted grinder is compact and track-driven, so it can work on slopes and in yards where a big truck cannot go. It handles stumps from 3 inches in diameter up to 8 feet wide.
Bob grinds the stump down where it stands, without digging a big hole or tearing up the slope. After grinding, cleanup is part of the job, raking the grindings smooth as mulch or hauling them away.
Know Where Your Line Ends
Much of the Lake Hartwell shoreline is public land managed by the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, and cutting or removing vegetation there generally requires Corps permission. Bob grinds stumps on your own property, so if you are not sure where your line ends, check with the Corps' Hartwell Lake office before we schedule.
This is a quick call that saves everyone a problem later. Once it is clear the stump is on your land, Bob can schedule the job and get it ground out.
Slopes, Access, and Cleanup
Sloped lake lots are exactly where a track-mounted grinder earns its keep. The machine can work on grades where a wheeled machine would struggle, and it is compact enough to reach stumps between a house and the water.
After grinding, the spot is a mix of chips and soil. For an area going to grass, remove most of the chips and fill with topsoil first, because grindings settle as they break down. Bob can rake the grindings level or haul them away, depending on what you want for the spot.
