Stump grinder hire, or hire a stump grinder?

I have met many people in my career who have hired a stump grinder and attempted to do the job themselves, some had great success, but most of the time we end up getting the ’emergency call’ to come and complete the job.

I have tried to think of the pros to hiring out a stump grinder, and the only one I can think of is the satisfaction you get from successfully completing a difficult job yourself – when it does go according to plan of course. However, usually we find that clients motivation for DIY stump grinding versus hiring a professional is the belief it will save on costs. So let’s break that down: Firstly you’ll need to pay the hire fees, then you need to consider the time to pick it up and return it, and of course the time actually doing the work with no experience. With all things considered, by hiring a professional stump grinder the job will be cheaper, faster and lastly, safer for us to do it for you.
