"Your estimator is the "face" of your company. Received and accepted job quote scheduled for appx. 2 weeks later. Job was to have been performed on 10/16 (trim trees) & completed on 10/18 -stump (estimator stated the stump grinder was a rental & only operated on Friday's). 10/16 - no show or phone call. Contacted estimator after appt. time - stated to reschedule complete job for 10/18. Again, no show. Contacted company estimator & he stated the crew had come by the day before 10/17., unannounced. Company estimator claimed he tried to contact me, but left no message via voicemail, text or email. NO communication - scheduled job date/time is requirement for both customer & company! I lost wages from my job in order to be available for scheduled dates. Complete waste of my time! It appears that you quote jobs, and even after customer accepts proposal, you pick & choose which jobs to actually perform. Unreliable - I'd recommend others to consider contacting someone else for tree service!"

Tree stump removals FAQs

Yes, grinding a stump is worthwhile if you plan to use the area for planting, recreation, or building. Removing the stump clears space for new landscaping or construction projects. Additionally, as the stump decomposes, it can rob the soil of nitrogen, affecting the growth of other plants. Stumps are also a tripping hazard, making removal a wise choice.

The time it takes to grind a stump depends on its size, density, and the grinder's performance. A small, soft stump can be ground in 15 minutes, while a large, dense stump may require up to eight hours for complete removal. Factors like the stump's structure and your grinding technique affect how quickly you can remove it.

Grinding a stump is often the best solution for clearing an area for construction or planting. It removes the visible portion of the stump, but the roots remain underground. If you need to remove the roots for long-term stability or design plans, you'll need to hire a professional for full stump and root removal. This ensures your site is completely cleared for future projects.

Leaving a tree stump in your yard can cause several problems. It can become a breeding ground for pests and diseases that might harm nearby trees and structures. Plus, the decaying stump can interfere with your landscaping plans, making mowing difficult and promoting unwanted new growth that can disrupt soil stability. Removing the stump eliminates these risks and improves your yard's safety and appearance.

To effectively kill a stump, you need to interrupt its nutrient supply and speed up decay. Drill holes into the stump and fill them with a concentrated herbicide like glyphosate, rock salt, or Epsom salt. This method ensures the substance penetrates deeply. Alternatively, cover the stump with a dark, heavy-duty tarp to deprive it of sunlight, which accelerates the process. Remember to follow safety guidelines when using these methods.
