Laurent stump grinding

About Laurent stump grinding

Gillespie sits over ground that was worked from underneath long before anyone planted the shade on top of it, and the yards here have deep, stubborn roots to show for it. Laurent stump grinding takes a tree down and then takes the last of it out — the stump ground below grade, the hollow filled, the chips heaped up for whatever the garden wants. Tree trimming rounds out the work, mostly in October when the leaves let go and every dead limb is suddenly obvious. Down toward the lake and out along old Route 4 the wind has a straight run at everything, and an open, balanced crown is what keeps a tree upright through it. Benld, Staunton, Mount Olive and Carlinville are all a short drive.
