Stumps off the lot before they hold up the build
On a new-construction lot, a leftover stump is not a landscaping problem, it is a schedule problem. It is in the way of the excavator, it cannot sit under a slab or a footing, and a graded pad with organic material in it is a callback waiting to happen. Builders across Westfield, Fishers, and the developing edges of Noblesville call us to clear stumps off the pad before the dirt work starts.
We grind to below the pad subgrade so there is no organic material left to rot and settle under the structure, work the whole lot in one mobilization with bulk or day-rate pricing, and stage around your excavator and grading crew so nobody is in each other’s way. Fast turnaround, because on a build, days cost money.
How a build-lot grind goes
- Walk the lotWe confirm stump count, sizes, and where the pad and footings will sit.
- Call 811We call Indiana 811 for a utility locate before any grinding on the lot.
- Grind below subgradeWe grind stumps below the pad subgrade so nothing organic is left to settle under the structure.
- Clear & stageWe clear the grindings and stage around your excavator and grading crew to keep the build moving.
