Lewis Job

  
Lewis job is one of the early jobs we did in our own neighborhood. Lewis' lived at the entrance of our sub-division so we really wanted to do this one as a "showcase" for our new company to the neighborhood. There were two very large willow trees in a sunken area that is encircled by the road and circle driveway. This job was the first job to really test the stump grinder. It worksite was basically a small wetland after heavy rains and the willows were planted to help soak up some of the water.

We did not get pictures of the take down of the trees but did get pictures of the stump removal. Being the early days of our company this removal took two days and the stumps took two days. The grinder is slow and eventually we decided to use a bigger grinder for jobs such as this and the MultiTrac grinder as a more precision grinder or for smaller jobs.
