Ferndale stump removal after windstorms and land clearing
North Whatcom takes hard winter winds when cold air pours out of the Fraser Valley, and around Ferndale that wind finds shallow-rooted trees in wet ground. Owners along the Nooksack, out toward Lake Terrell and on wooded parcels near Custer can end up with stumps from trees cut after a storm or taken down before they could fall. Alder, cottonwood and fir are common here, and they rarely come down one at a time.
A wind-thrown tree can leave more than a stump: part of the root plate may be torn up, leaving a hole with soil heaped around it. On the assessment we look at each stump and root plate, measure the widest flare, and decide whether grinding alone finishes it or backfill and rough grading are needed too. We also settle chip handling: left as fill, piled or hauled.
