Questions
Frequently asked.
How long does stump grinding take?
Timing depends on the 811 process that protects underground utilities. Once utilities are marked and work begins, most projects are finished in 1 to 3 hours, depending on the size and number of stumps.
Will stump grinding damage my lawn?
We're committed to protecting your property and keeping disruption to surrounding landscaping to a minimum. We use professional barriers to protect nearby areas and vehicles.
How do you locate underground utilities?
We take underground utilities very seriously. As soon as you approve a proposal, we submit a locate request to 811. Once utilities are marked, we schedule your job.
When is payment due for my project?
Payment is due when your project is complete. If you need other arrangements, please set them up before work begins.
How do you charge for raking the chips and cleaning up?
Raking the stump chips into a tidy pile is included in the $300 minimum fee.
How do I get a free estimate?
Fill out our estimate request form with your contact info and photos of the stump, plus any access photos that help us find it on your property. You can also call (470) 200-7002. We'll respond promptly with a no-obligation estimate.
