Photograph the access route. Include gates, narrow spots, slopes, or nearby obstacles we should know about.
A quick count by size makes it easy:
Approximate measurements are helpful. No tape handy? Send the photos and what you know.

Five years in the infantry.
A new chapter here at home.
I served five years in the Army infantry, earned my airborne qualification, and served in Italy, Louisiana, and on one tour in Iraq.
When I left the Army in 2019, I started Black Bear Stump Grinding. Today, we’re a family-owned and operated business serving the entirety of Connecticut.
We’re licensed, insured, and proud to help our neighbors make more of their property.
Yes—we serve the entire state of Connecticut. Include your town in your text so we know where the project is.
A few clear photos, your town, the number of stumps, and a short description of the work. If possible, add the diameter of the widest part of each stump at ground level. For several stumps, group them by similar size. A photo of the access route helps, too.
Absolutely. Tell Alex how you’d like the area to look afterward so grinding, cleanup, and any finishing work can be discussed as part of your quote.
Yes. Send wide photos of the area, a description of your goal, and your town. Alex can let you know what other details are needed to assess the work.
A few photos are all it takes to get the conversation started.
