The Friday Batch
Why only Fridays? Batching every job into one route day means zero dead drive time — and that density is exactly how a one-man operation beats every two-crew quote you've gotten.
Eric Fisher · Columbus, OH · Stump Grinding Exclusively
One day a week. No three-hour arrival windows. Snap a photo, send the address, and come home Friday to flat ground — all without disrupting your day.


SUBJECT: 26″ RED OAK
01 — The Friday Model
Why only Fridays? Batching every job into one route day means zero dead drive time — and that density is exactly how a one-man operation beats every two-crew quote you've gotten.
No knocking, no clipboard, no taking a half-day off work to 'walk the property.' You text a photo, I text a firm price, Friday it's gone. The whole transaction fits in your messages app.
I don't trim trees, mow grass, or build decks. Stump grinding is the entire business — which means the machine is sharp, the process is dialed, and your yard is the only thing on the schedule.
02 — Simple Pricing
Grab a tape measure and go straight across the widest part of the stump at ground level — that means the flare roots, not just the trunk. Best guess works too; if it's off, I adjust the price once I arrive. Slide to your size and see the Friday rate before you ever talk to me.
Estimated Friday rate
$150–$190
Firm flat quote confirmed by text before any work. Extra stumps on the property are priced the same way — measured by the inch.
Widest point at ground level — flare roots included, not just the trunk
03 — How It Works
Text (614) 325-1273 or use the form below. Address, a tape-measure width across the flare — best guess is fine, I adjust on arrival if it's off — plus a photo of the stump and any gate notes. Two minutes, tops.
I text back a firm, flat price — usually within a few hours. No site visit, no upsell, no 'starting at' games. Approve it and you're on the dispatch list.
The moment your quote is locked, I file an 811 utility locate on your property — the law before any grinding. Crews mark underground lines within about 3 days, free to you. Approve late in the week and marking may run long — your job simply rolls to the following Friday. Zero effort on your end.
Leave the gate unlocked; that's the whole job for you. I grind 4–8″ below grade, text you a photo of flat ground, and send a simple payment link. Done before sunset.
