Sylvester Stump Grinding

About Sylvester Stump Grinding

The best sign of a finished job here is new grass where a stump used to be. Harpswell runs out into Casco Bay in long fingers of ledge and spruce, and the wind off the water keeps every tree leaning a little landward. Sylvester Stump Grinding takes down what has had enough — a salt-burned spruce over a driveway, a maple gone brittle above a shed — and then grinds the stump out until only chips remain. Trimming keeps the rest in bounds: limbs raised off a roofline on the Neck, growth cut back where a yard has narrowed to one car wide. Harpswell Neck, Orr's Island, Bailey Island, Cundy's Harbor, Brunswick and Topsham are all in reach.
