Stump Grinding Mulch.

[Ax-man]

How many of you remove stump grinding mulch and do backfilling with topsoil and reseed? What kind of prices do you charge for it. Say if you took the tree down and did the stump yourself or if someone had a stump ground and you had to go in and clean up?

I did a typical custom stump grinding job today to finish the day out. All to familiar story for an over the phone job, pays to say in advance you won't clean-up the mess, even for extra money. Show up to do job, find mulch piled over 2" septic rock at least 3" deep, brilliant landscaping ideas leftover from the 70's. In my opinion you just can't charge enough to clean a mess like this up, tooooo many hours involved, for what you will get paid, not to mention the beating the teeth take on a job like this, even after moving some of this stone away from the stump so it isn't so hard on the teeth.

I made out ok for just the min charge to do a stump, would have lost if I volunteered for clean-up duty, that is why I don't mention any type of clean-up.
