Maria speaks stump grinding

She can tell a surface grind from a the flare / root flare, knows what sweep (side-to-side cutting motion) and the wheel mean, and doesn’t stall when a caller rattles off swing the wheel or burying the stump. So the homeowner on the other end gets qualified, not fumbled — and while you’re behind a stump grinder, she’s booking jobs.
