Ready to get rid of a stump?

Stump work is easier to estimate when a provider knows the stump size, how many stumps are involved, and whether equipment can reach the location.

Make the request useful

Details that can help a provider understand the job.

You do not need to diagnose the tree yourself. The goal is simply to give an independent provider enough context to decide whether the request fits their work and how to follow up.

✓Approximate stump diameter and height above the ground

✓How many stumps need attention

✓Gate width, fences, slopes, patios, or other access constraints

✓Whether surface roots are part of the concern

✓What you plan to do with the area afterward

Situations worth treating more urgently

!The stump creates a trip or access problem

!It interferes with planned landscaping, fencing, paving, or construction

!The area needs to be cleared on a schedule

!Exposed roots are creating a practical property-use problem

Power-line safety: If a tree or limb is touching a power line, stay away and contact the electric utility or emergency services. Do not approach it to take photos.

Common questions

Before you submit.

Grinding or full removal — which should I request?

If you are not sure, say so. Describe what you want to do with the area afterward and let the provider discuss options.

Should I measure the stump?

An approximate diameter is helpful, but it does not need to be exact. A photo can also provide useful context.

Can I include multiple stumps?

Yes. Mention the number of stumps and include photos if possible.
