Nicholson is a small town on US-441 between Athens and Commerce in Jackson County. It is country, with home sites spread out along the highway and the back roads, and properties where the trees still grow close to the house. About 15 miles from our Hull base, it is close enough that getting to a job here is a short drive.
Storms do a lot of the work out here. When a strong storm rolls through Nicholson, it takes trees down across lawns, driveways, and fence lines, and the stump is what stays once the tree is hauled off. A storm-downed tree leaves a stump right where it stood, often in the middle of a yard or along a drive.
Country Home Sites With Storm Stumps
Nicholson properties are mostly country home sites, and storm-downed trees are a frequent source of stumps. A tree that fell across the lawn or along the drive leaves a stump behind that is in the way of mowing, parking, or just walking the yard. Bob grinds it out where it stands.
The Rayco track-mounted grinder handles stumps from 3 inches in diameter up to 8 feet wide. Its tracks let it work on uneven country ground and slopes where a big truck cannot reach.
From Downed Tree to Clean Ground
Once the fallen tree is hauled off, the stump is the last piece of the cleanup. Grinding takes it out below the surrounding grade so the area is safe and easy to mow over, without digging up the whole yard to get the root ball out.
After the grinding, cleanup is part of the job. Bob rakes the grindings smooth to leave as mulch or hauls them away, depending on what you want done with the chips.
One Stump or Several From the Same Storm
A single storm in Nicholson can leave more than one stump behind, especially on the larger home sites. Bob clears a single stump or several in one visit, so you can get the whole yard cleaned up at once instead of calling back for each one.
If you want to lay sod or plant where a stump was, remove most of the chips and fill the spot with topsoil first. Grindings settle as they break down, so topping up the patch keeps it from dipping over time.

Nicholson Stump Grinding — Common Questions

What if a storm left more than one stump on my property?
