Dual Pine Stumps Near Downtown Athens
Accessed via narrow backyard fence gate with tracked grinder. Fully ground and smoothed in under 1 hour.
"Fair price, polite crew, and they took care of the 811 utility line locates before grinding so we didn't hit any fiber optic or gas pipes. Highly recommend!"
"Sent two pictures from my phone and had a quote within 10 minutes. They showed up the next morning, navigated my narrow gate without touching the fence, and ground out a huge oak stump!"
"Other companies wanted to take down my fence panel to get their equipment in. Huntsville Stump Removal brought a compact tracked machine that slid right through my 36" gate. Outstanding job."
What Athens Homeowners Say About Stump Grinding
Stumps ground out, chips managed and lawns left ready across Athens and the surrounding county.
Our Athens backyard was full of surface roots. They ground them down and brought in topsoil, so the children can run out there barefoot again.
I keep the Athens garden beds along that fence line, so they angled the grinder and left the beds untouched. The chips went straight onto my mulch pile.
Three stumps left from an old orchard on our Athens property. Doing them in one visit saved money and the field is mowable again.
