The company is owned and operated by brothers Jes and Skip Sylvester. They were raised on Orr’s Island in the town of Harpswell. Both are U.S. Navy veterans, and after long maritime careers, they retired to their hometown. A mutual love of the outdoors and staying busy inspired them to start a stump-grinding business. Through hard work, the company has become successful, and they have earned an excellent reputation. Jes and Skip truly enjoy working with their customers and making Mid-coast Maine properties beautiful and enjoyable.

Job Proposals

Sylvester Stump Grinding always give customers a fixed price, not an estimate, like most other contractors. We take the guesswork out of the process, so  you’ll know upfront what the entire cost of the job will be, with no surprises when the work has been completed. We always visit a job site and meet with the property owner before making a proposal. We do not give pricing over the phone or by looking at photos – to do so would not be fair for you or us. In this regard, we are old-fashioned, but that’s the way we prefer to do business.

When you reach out to us, a convenient time will be agreed upon for meeting at the job site. At the meeting, you’ll describe the scope of work, answer any questions we have, and then we’ll give you a verbal fixed price. An email containing a written proposal will be sent to you the same evening. After you accept our proposal, we will notify DigSafe and schedule the job. It’s that simple.

The cost of a job is based on the type, size, and quantity of stumps and how deep into the soil we will have to grind. Additionally, the presence of large roots, rocks or ledge, structures, and buried utilities can influence the job cost.

Grinding Debris

Stump grinding debris is a mixture of wood and soil. This makes a wonderful mulch for controlling weed and grass growth in gardens, planters and walkways, etc. The volume of debris generated at your job depends on the species of tree, size and age of the stump, and how deep into the soil we grind.  All debris will be consolidated and left in the area of each stump that is ground.  We do not remove grinding debris from worksites.

When we grind near structures and vehicles, machine-mounted debris curtains and portable containment is used to prevent damage to your property.
