Stump Grinding in Lincoln, Ontario
Lincoln is fruit and wine country on the Niagara bench, with three villages in the middle of it. Orchard rows, vineyard blocks and village backyards all end up with stumps.
Farms, Villages and the Bench
Between the lake and the escarpment, the land Lincoln sits on is some of the best tender-fruit and grape ground in Canada. Growers here regularly pull out old peach, pear, cherry and apple trees and replace vines that have stopped producing. Each block that's renewed leaves rows of stumps behind.
In Beamsville, Vineland and Jordan, backyards look more like suburban Niagara: maples, spruce and the occasional big walnut. Village streets are older near the centres and newer toward the edges, where farmland has been turned into subdivisions.
Rows, Lanes and Village Gates
On farm properties, the grinder runs down the lanes and along each row. In the villages, it's the usual side gate and fenced yard, sometimes with a pool or play set to work around. Up on the bench, some properties sit on a slope toward the lake, which a grinder handles fine as long as the grade isn't steep. Wet spring soil in the orchards can be soft for weeks, so on farm jobs we'll talk about timing before we pick a date.
Orchard Rows and Village Yards
For growers, multi-stump and row grinding is the bulk of the work, often timed around replanting. In Beamsville, Vineland and Jordan, it's mostly single stumps in family yards, handled with regular grinding.
Timing is different on farms. Growers usually want stumps out after harvest and before the ground freezes, or early in spring before planting, so the block isn't sitting idle. Village homeowners are more flexible. If you're a grower, tell us your planting window when you call and we'll fit the job around it.

We're replanting a block of peaches. How far down should the stumps go?
Deep enough that your planting and tillage equipment won't catch anything. Tell us what you use and when you plan to plant, and we'll grind to suit.
Do you cover Jordan Station and the rural roads around Vineland?
Yes. All of Lincoln, including Jordan, Jordan Station, Vineland Station, Campden and the farm roads in between.
