Winterville is the small town just east of Athens that kept its own city government. It is known for its Marigold Festival and its historic depot, and for the older homes with mature shade trees that line its established lots. About 8 miles from our Hull base, it has the feel of a town that grew up around its trees rather than clearing them away.
Mature trees are the hallmark of Winterville yards, and mature trees eventually mean stumps. A big old oak or pecan taken down beside a home leaves a substantial stump in a tight, established lot, where the goal is usually to get the ground back to looking like nothing was ever there.
Older Homes and Mature Trees
Winterville properties are mostly established home lots with older trees. Stumps here are often one or two large ones left after a shade tree came down. Bob brings the Rayco track-mounted grinder and grinds the stump down where it stands, handling stumps from 3 inches in diameter up to 8 feet wide.
Because the lots are established and the trees are old, the stumps tend to be big and the yards tend to be tight. The Rayco is compact and track-mounted, so it works in these yards and on slopes where a big truck cannot reach, without tearing up the surrounding ground.
Getting the Yard Back to Normal
On an older home lot, the aim is usually a clean, level spot that blends back into the yard. Bob grinds the stump down, then rakes the grindings smooth to leave as mulch or hauls them away. You tell him what you want done with the grindings.
If you want to lay sod or plant where the 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 and lets the new grass take hold evenly.
Careful Work in Established Yards
Established lots often have sprinkler heads, invisible dog fence wire, and landscape lighting running through them. Point those out and Bob will work around them. The track-mounted grinder is designed to work in yards without tearing up the surrounding turf.
Cleanup is part of every job. A ground stump turns into a pile of chips and soil that can look bigger than the stump did, and Bob does not leave you with that mess. He rakes the grindings level or loads them up and takes them with him.
