TreeHog Mesh Stump Grinder Guard System

The TreeHog mesh stump grinding guard system is a portable stump grinder guard that sets up around the work area to help catch chips, stones, and debris thrown by the cutter wheel. It is useful on tight residential jobs near windows, cars, and walkways.

Why use a grinding guard

A stump grinder throws chips hard and can launch stones and buried debris. On a back-yard job next to a patio door or a parked car, the machine's own guard is not always enough. A portable mesh screen around the work zone adds another layer between the cutter wheel and whatever needs protecting.

Mesh lets the operator see the stump and surroundings while still catching much of the debris.

Clients notice when their siding, windows, and cars come through a stump job without a scratch. A guard system also saves cleanup time by keeping more chips in one place.

Using it on the job

Set the screens up before you start, positioned on the side where debris would cause damage or injury. A guard does not replace a proper exclusion zone: keep bystanders and pets well back, call underground utilities before you grind, and wear eye, face, and hearing protection.

Inspect the mesh and frames for tears or bent parts before each job and repair or replace damaged panels. A torn screen will not stop the debris you are relying on it to catch.
