The second project we have been working on is grinding stumps and cleaning them up. We contract to have the stumps ground and do the clean work ourselves. The grinder has a 55hp engine and makes quick work of your average sized stumps. However, most of stumps were of the above average size. It took the contractor over an hour to grind the stump next to the 1st green and another hour for the stump next to the 10th green. In fact the Willow stump next to 10 was the biggest the contractor had ever worked on.
It will take us another week to finish cleanup and prep these areas for sod. We try to use composted material that we have generated on-site to fill in these areas. Generally, if the stump hole is very large we will put some fill material first and cap it with the compost.
