About Master Grinder, stump grinding

Blue Mountain runs along the north edge of Saylorsburg like a long shoulder, and in autumn the hawks ride the updraft above it for days at a time. Under that ridge the properties are half lawn and half woods, and when a tree comes out of one of them the ground remembers it — a stump, a ring of roots, a spot the mower has to swing around for years. Master Grinder covers the sequence end to end: tree trimming to keep crowns off the house, removal when a trunk is finished, and stump grinding to take the last of it below grade. Chips go back into the hole or into the truck, whichever the homeowner prefers, and the seam disappears after a season of rain. It is a small thing that changes a yard entirely — grass that simply runs, uninterrupted, all the way to the treeline.
