Sylvester Stump Grinding says it serves Falmouth, Yarmouth, Freeport, Brunswick and Harpswell, and describes a customer base of residential, commercial and municipal clients, along with churches and colleges. On Google it holds 5 stars from 84 ratings. A recent customer said Chris did the stump grinding on their property at a reasonable price, then raked the entire work area, even the tracks the grinder left on the lawn. A recent Google reviewer described removing multiple large and smaller stumps from a yard, with Chris leaving the yard in great shape. A recent customer wrote that the stumps on the property were ground down and extra care was taken with the neighboring lot. A 2019 customer said they contacted DigSafe, showed up on time on the day of the job, and ground down 10 stumps in less than an hour before raking the area. A 2019 reviewer with 15 stumps to remove said the job was surveyed 3 days after the inquiry and the stumps were gone within 3 weeks. A 2019 customer said Jes quoted a fair price for a front-yard stump, and that Jes and Skip removed it, left a neat pile of woodchips and explained how to get grass to grow back. A 2018 customer said Jes came by within an hour of the call to give an estimate, and the job left 3 neatly raked piles of wood chips where 3 stumps had been. A 2018 reviewer said he carted all the wood chips over to a garden so they could be used as mulch. **Strengths:** - Raked cleanup — a recent customer said even the grinder's tracks were raked - A reasonable price — a recent customer called the grinding price reasonable - A 15-stump job — a 2019 customer said the stumps were gone within 3 weeks - Utility marking — a 2019 customer said they contacted DigSafe ## Claims & citations Every claim below is backed by real evidence rows — uncited claims are dropped in code before publication. - 5 stars on Google from 84 ratings _(confidence: high)_ - [Google](https://www.google.com/maps/search/?api=1&query=Sylvester%20Stump%20Grinding&query_place_id=ChIJ_z-KRfaHrUwRUle8_phOIXY) — “Google: 5★ from 84 ratings” - 5.0 stars on HomeAdvisor and on Angi, 22 ratings each _(confidence: high)_ - [HomeAdvisor](https://www.homeadvisor.com/rated.SylvesterStumpGrinding.69948118.html) — “HomeAdvisor: 5.0★ from 22 ratings” - [Angi](https://www.angi.com/companylist/us/me/portland/sylvester-stump-grinding-home-facebook-reviews-69948118.htm) — “Angi: 5.0★ from 22 ratings” - The company says it serves Falmouth, Yarmouth, Freeport, Brunswick and Harpswell _(confidence: medium)_ - [Official Website](https://www.stumpyoldmen.com) — “Stated service area (self-reported): Falmouth, Yarmouth, Freeport, Brunswick, Harpswell” - A recent customer said Chris raked the entire work area after stump grinding, even the grinder's tracks on the lawn, at a reasonable price _(confidence: high)_ - [Google Reviews](https://www.google.com/maps/reviews/data=!4m8!14m7!1m6!2m5!1sCi9DQUlRQUNvZENodHljRjlvT2tocFNHbzJhVTFJVUU1M2QwaEdWMjFRY0VkaFVHYxAB!2m1!1s0x0:0x76214e98febc5752!3m1!1s2@1:CAIQACodChtycF9oOkhpSGo2aU1IUE53d0hGV21QcEdhUGc%7C%7C?hl=en) — “5★ I was very satisfied with the stump grinding that was recently done on my property.
