STUMPT LLC is an operator-owned forestry mulching and land clearing company based in Patoka, Illinois, serving Southern Illinois, the Carlyle Lake corridor, the I-57/I-70 belt, and the St. Louis Metro East. Owner Jake Carruthers runs every job himself, backed by a heavy-equipment career spanning two years operating in Antarctica, seven years of custom harvest work from Texas to Canada, pipeline construction, and family farm ground. Our skid-steer forestry mulcher grinds standing brush and trees into mulch in a single pass - the mulch stays on the land, protecting soil and suppressing regrowth, so you get back walkable, usable property with no burn piles and no torn-up ground. Licensed and insured. Free on-site estimates with flat per-acre quotes.
