- Stump Grinding and RemovalLike all of our work, the cost for stump grinding depends on the specifics of the job. The size of the stump and the location on your property can affect the cost. We can send an estimator out to your property to view your stumps and provide a no-obligation cost estimate for grinding. Although we are able to grind most stumps, there may be some that are not candidates for grinding. The most common reason that a stump cannot be ground is if it is located near something that would make grinding hazardous. Buried utility lines, especially gas and electrical lines, running near or under the stump may prohibit it from being able to be ground. We always call DigSafe for our customers to have them mark buried utility lines before we come out to grind a stump. This is for both our safety and the safety of our customers. Additionally, stumps that are very near rocks, foundations and driveways may not be grindable due to the risk of damage to these structures or the stump grinder.

- Tree Pruning and TrimmingThere are a number of reasons you might need to prune your trees. Here are some of the main reasons we get called to various properties, both residential and commercial...
- Tree MaintenanceStumpy’s Tree Service was founded by Martin and Anne-Marie Jakobsen in 1976. Originally, Martin performed all of the tree work himself. Equipped with just a chainsaw and a pickup truck, he was truly a one-man show. Over the past 40-plus years, the business grew into the respected company it is today. Our modern fleet of equipment includes: three different sized cranes, bucket trucks, ASVs, chip trucks, grinders and more. We own one of the largest, most modern cranes in that area capable of safely reaching trees otherwise inaccessible to most of our competitors. We currently employ over 30 employees – many of whom have been with Stumpy’s for decades.
- Tree Cabling and BracingIn addition to pruning, one common and effective way to help stabilize a damaged or declining tree is to cable or brace the limbs of the tree. Cabling or bracing the tree means that we will install a strong wire between a weaker branch or section of the tree and attach it to another section of the tree to help provide strength and structural support. Cable bracing a tree does not typically detract from its appearance. Most wires are difficult to see from the ground but can help prolong the life of your tree and can help to save important branches.
- Arborist ServicesClients from many years ago still call and request specific arborists – most of whom are still with us today!
- Tree MulchingStump grinding does not mean full stump removal. A standard stump grind is about 2 inches below grade. The underground parts of the stump and some of the roots of the tree will still remain below ground, out of sight. After your stump grinding, you should be able to plant grass or mulch over where the stump has been ground down.
