Backyard Brush & Stump Clearing

Mount Joy, PA · October 2026

This backyard had years of overgrown brush, volunteer trees and old stumps crowding the property line. We brought in a mini excavator with a thumb attachment to pull everything out roots and all, loaded it straight into the dump truck for hauling, graded the disturbed ground, brought in three yards of topsoil, and put down straw to get grass growing back in. What was an unusable, overgrown corner of the yard has been reclaimed into usable lawn.
