Stump Grinding in Pelham, Ontario
Pelham sits on the high ground of the Short Hills, and its yards are leafier and larger than most. Fonthill, Fenwick and the countryside around them keep the grinder busy.
Wooded Lots Mean Stumps
Pelham has more tree cover than most of Niagara. Fonthill's older streets climb the hill under tall maples and oaks, and many homes on the outskirts were built on lots carved out of woodland, keeping a lot of the original trees. Over time, some of those trees decline, crowd the house or come down in wind, and the stumps start to add up.
Fenwick and the rural roads around Ridgeville and North Pelham have estate-sized lots and hobby farms, where a single property can have a dozen stumps along a lane or at the edge of a field.
Hills, Lanes and Estate Yards
Fonthill's slopes mean some yards drop away from the house, so we check grade before planning the route in. Estate lots usually have wide gates or open sides, but long driveways and soft lawns need mats. If your stump is at the edge of a wooded area, tell us how close the trees are; the machine needs a little room to swing. Standing trees right beside a stump also have roots tangled with it, so we keep the grind tight there.
Mostly Grinding, Often Several
Most Pelham jobs are standard stump grinding, often three or four stumps in one yard. Bigger rural properties lean toward multi-stump clearing along tree lines and laneways.
New homes have also gone up on the edges of Fonthill, often on lots where the builder kept some trees and removed others. A few years on, owners find that the trees left too close to the house need to come out, and they want the stumps gone cleanly without damaging the landscaping that's grown up around them.

Questions From Pelham
Our lot borders a woodlot. Is there anything we should know?
Grinding stumps in your yard is fine. If you're planning to remove more trees from the wooded part, check the Region's woodland rules first; we can point you in the right direction.
Can the grinder get down a long gravel driveway?
Yes, it travels fine on gravel. Soft lawn at the end is what needs care, and we bring mats for that.
