Our History
Jeff Taylor, the founder of Stump Grinding Northwest in 1995, dedicated years of hard work and passion to establish the exceptional reputation the business is known for today.
As we reached the year 2020, Jeff was looking forward to his well-deserved retirement. His dream, however, was not to see his life's work absorbed by another company; he wanted to pass the torch to a committed single owner who would carry forward the legacy of the business, just as he had done.
​
Jacob Gleichman, a long-time family friend, has now succeeded Jeff.
