Coral trees are a pain, nothen but problems. Never seen one with a stump that big. Was the tree massive too?
Looks like fun!

This one measured over 84" If I remember correctly:
Looking for a pic I have of me standing in front of regrowth from a huge Redwood stump takin in Sonoma County in Cali. There are like 6 or 8 huge Redwoods growing from an old growth Redwood stump that was cut many years back. It was like 50" or something crazy like that. I'll see if I can find the pic.

It's probably full of wire. Leave the stump where it is? :msp_tongue:

This was a "grind every last piece of stump and root" sort of job... would have been impossible without the excavator

WOW!, that looks like a huge pain! How long did that take, you guys have to take down the brick wall too?

Construction guys took the wall out for us. Stump took about 2 hours. A lot of mulch to pick up.

Biggest stump seen 25' dia, 16 feet high or biggest stump made, 11'9", maybe 20' on the downhill side.
The largest stump I saw removed was close to 15 feet in diameter, it took a D8K 3 hours.

I worked for a guy who built his forge inside a redwood stump. you entered the front through a door he cut with a chainsaw and it was big enough to really get stuff done it was about 10 X 10 inside burned out from fire with a tin roof. I did a stump cleaning job that consisted of climbing up the sides of old growth stumps the were at least 10 ft across. its like a volcano coming out of the ground with boggy moss and duff, huckleberrys growing off it. when you clear it out its quite a relic from the day with the curly grain and springboard pegs moss ect. Alot of properties and farms have them. you need a 090 to even consider removing one all day quarting it up and the peices are so big you need a forklift..idf you resaw the quarters its absolute freaking amazing grain sometimes 1000yrs old..i slabbed a peice one day and the grain was bubbles like underwater..perhaps called dragonsbreath? theres alot of charecteristics of stumps that make them more special than the tree..i have pics but i have to shuffle..there wild looking

OK, question: Many of you think that stump's worth around $1,000, give or take, to grind. Maybe more for cleanup. Just out of curiosity, what do you think the tree removal was worth? I know, the tree's gone in the photo so it's hard to say, but obviously it was big and had to come down in pieces. Around here, stump grinding typically amounts to a small fraction of the tree removal cost.....$1,000 stump grinding would make that one very expensive tree. I don't consider myself to live in a poor area, but $1,000 is pushing what most people want to spend on tree removal (yes, of course, some trees cost more). Just curious what you guys think. I'm not doubting that stump is worth a lot to remove, but you can only get what the market will bear no matter what you "think" it's worth, and around here I don't think you could walk away with a grand.
