Grounds Crew | Tree Stump Removal

About Grounds Crew | Tree Stump Removal

The stands of timber along the Cedar River just outside Hudson keep this crew busy most of the year pulling stumps and clearing brush, and come winter the same trucks turn toward the driveways and lanes tucked back among those same trees. Snow falls differently under a canopy than it does in the open — it takes longer to melt off, holds shadow and ice longer into the afternoon — and Grounds Crew reads those riverside lots the way it reads a stump it's about to pull. A lane back through the trees toward the water can look clear from the road and still hide a sheet of ice where the sun never quite reaches it. Getting that stretch right before dark matters more here than on an open street in town. Hudson's river-bottom homes get the same careful pass as anywhere else, just with an extra look at what the trees are hiding.
