What happens here
Begin by removing existing landscape features that impede grading or are too close to the foundation. This step focuses on the challenging task of removing a large tree stump with extensive root systems. A mini excavator, specifically a Bobcat E325, is used to dig around and under the stump, exposing its taproots. A skid steer loader, an ASV RT-75 equipped with forks, is then used to lever and pull the heavy stump out of the ground. The roots are cut or broken as needed during this process.
Goal: Clear the area of a large tree stump and roots to prepare for grading and foundation work.
Tools and materials

- Mini Excavator Bobcat E325 — Digging around and under the tree stump to expose roots
