From clean ups to full lot clearings our crew is equipped to perform any level of tree work. If you have a large tree close to your house we can safely remove the tree and the stump all in the same day. After the trees are cut down we remove all logs, branches and debris and leave no trace. We own and operate a full sawmill, Woodstock Beam Works, where we can take a log, mill it into lumber, kiln dry it and custom build tables, bar tops etc. We put safety and the environment first. We are a Green company and we respect your property and the safety of all involved.

"I scheduled an appointment for an estimate, only to be told an hour before that he wasn’t able to come. I agreed to reschedule, but then—out of nowhere—he texted just five minutes before our original appointment and showed up without confirm with us that the time still worked, despite having already canceled. It was inconvenient and unprofessional, but I gave him the benefit of the doubt and moved forward with scheduling the actual stump removal. On the day of the job, at the exact time they were scheduled to arrive, I got a last-minute text saying they couldn’t come due to rain. Weather is something that can be checked ahead of time—this should have been communicated the day before, not at the moment they were supposed to start. Because of their lack of professionalism, I had to reschedule other contractors who were lined up to follow their work, creating a domino effect of delays. After reading reviews, it turns out this is a common issue with this company. If reliability matters to you, I’d recommend looking elsewhere—showing up is step one in being a professional contractor, and unfortunately, they don’t seem to have that down."

we are a small owner/operated, full service tree company. The owner graduated from forestry college in 1996 and is an ISA certified arborist.

"Awful. Phil came to look at the job. Then took two weeks to provide a quote. I asked for an appointment time. No answer. Called the office several times and the woman answering the phone said she continually told Phil to respond. She sounded frustrated about this and he never responded. I even stopped by their office in Highland twice. The door was locked, no answer. I gave up trying to contact him asking for an appointment. Worst customer service ever. No follow-up. No respect for the customer. If he had too much work to do and couldn't do our job, he should just say so. One of the worst companies I've ever dealt with. How they stay in business is a mystery."

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.
