Stump grinding in Goode, Huddleston and the Bedford County countryside
Out past the subdivisions, stumps live different lives: fence rows, farm fields, creek bottoms, and long country lanes. Gone Stumpin' covers Goode, Huddleston, and the countryside between them.
Goode stumps
Goode sits between Forest and Bedford on 221, and its stumps are country stumps: working trees, not ornaments.
Fence rows and field edges
Clearing a fence line or taking a field edge back leaves a row of stumps right where the mower, the bush hog, and the fence posts want to go. A row like that is one efficient grind day.
Farmstead shade trees
The big oak or maple that shaded the house for fifty years leaves a stump to match when it finally comes down: wide, deep-rooted, and in the middle of everything.
Creek-bottom softwoods
Down in the wet ground along the creeks, poplar and willow grow fast and come down easy. Soft wood grinds quick, so creek-bottom cleanups move right along.
Huddleston stumps
Huddleston is the quiet side of the water: Smith Mountain Lake's south shore and a piece of Leesville Lake, wrapped in farm country.
Quiet-side lake lots
Huddleston lake lots are calmer and more wooded than the Moneta side. Clearing for a view, a dock path, or a build site leaves stumps scattered through the trees.
Long-lane country lots
Out here a driveway can be a quarter mile of gravel with stumps along both edges. Country lots usually carry a count, not a single stump, and one visit can clear the whole lane.
Stumps sprouting suckers
A cut stump that keeps sending up shoots is not done being a tree, it is just being a bush about it. Grinding below grade ends the argument for good.
Nearby? Ask.
Forty-five minutes of driving from home base covers more ground than the town list: Thaxton, Montvale, and Big Island to the north and west, Stewartsville, Goodview, and Hardy between Bedford and the lake, Penhook and the south shore of Smith Mountain Lake, Altavista and Gretna to the south, Rustburg, Evington, and Timberlake on the Lynchburg side, and Vinton at the western edge. If your place is inside that ring but not on the list, join the spring list, pick "Nearby" as your town, and tell us where you are. If Adam can work it into a route day, he will, and the reply will say so straight.
