Not sure what 'mess' an exacator would leave that a grinder wouldn't. 

 

This was a fairly well established conifer with around 6inch plus trunks. 

 

Mud behind it was there anyway and was graded off a bit nicer. Grass hardly touched. 

 

All removed with ripper tooth.

I would agree for the whole job but in this instance the top has already gone so David and his long day would leave little mess and no roots to get rid of.

Just had a similar job done with a laurel hedge that was 50` long and 8` wide x 8` high, the fencing contractor used a mini digger and chipper to dispose of the lot. The only thing I have left to do is remove (I guess by hand) the root tendrills that are left it was a 2man x 3 day job and that included installing the fence

Well he can't have liked his chipper blades that much then...
