Two of us and one grinder.

Wes Harrow started Burlgrist in 2014 with a rented grinder and a list of neighbors who had been mowing around the same stumps for years.

June Abernathy joined in 2018 and now runs the booking and most of the measuring. Between us we have ground a few thousand stumps, from fence-post maples to an oak wider than the grinder.

We like the quiet part of the job best: the walk around the yard first, the boards on the lawn, the last pass with the rake. You should be able to tell where the stump was only by the fresh chips.
