"Jeff was here and quoted me $300 to remove stump and said it would take approx: 3/4 of a day. Told him I had a quote for $200 already and he dropped price to $250. Got back to him a few days later and said I would have him do it as the other guy couldn't do it for over a month or better. He was all up for it and said he would call me back next morning and set up for 2 to 3 days out. Never called back so I called him and he said had problem with other equipment and if I wanted to said "hire someone else please". I text him back and said when could he possibly get to it. No response. I rented a grinder, trailer included for 4 hrs. Picked it up 20 minutes away, did stump myself, 20 minute drive back to return. Total time to remove stump that was 90% plus eaten out by bugs, including pick up and delivery was 2 hrs and 40 minutes, not 3/4 of a day. Total cost with tax was $96.30.....NO, I WOULD NOT RECOMMEND THIS COMPANY. This guy is not who he portrays himself to be."

"Greiner Scapes did an awesome job on the two large trees in our yard that desperately needed pruning. Maclaine (owner) was amazing to work with. Kind, responsive, reliable and very fair pricing. It is apparent he is very knowledgeable and skilled in his field. Truly just an all around genuine person and I am so happy to support and promote this new small business. I was not only impressed with his work, but also, the immaculate clean up of our yard after. We had a lot that needed done, so naturally lots of leaves and branches left behind, but after he and his crew were done with clean up, it was like no one had ever been here. I will / already have recommended this business to friends and family and will absolutely use them in the future for additional needs. Thank you Greiner Scapes !"

"The job was to remove a downed limb from my tree; it hadn’t caused any major damage, but it was encroaching on my neighbor’s yard. Tripoli was quick to respond to my request for an estimate; the quote was reasonable. Had to wait because they were dealing with much more pressing tree issues after the storm, but just a little over two weeks wasn’t a bad turnaround. All the debris was cleared and prompt communication thru the entire 2 weeks."

FAQs for tree stump removal projects in Pittsburgh, PA

The time it takes to grind a stump depends on its size and the type of wood. Small, softwood stumps take only 15 minutes to remove, while large, hardwood stumps can take several hours. Before the project begins, ask your stump grinding pro for an estimate so you can plan accordingly.

There are several alternative methods to stump removal, including winching it with mechanical equipment, cutting it with a chainsaw, grubbing out the stump and roots, initiating a burn with the required permits, activating natural rotting processes, and applying chemical treatments to expedite decay. Each method offers its own advantages and safety requirements, so it is important to select the option that best suits your project and complies with local regulations.

The cost of tree removal typically doesn't include stump grinding. Removing a stump requires different equipment and skills than cutting down a tree. If you want both services, your contractor will often charge extra for grinding the stump. However, bundling tree removal and stump grinding can sometimes save you money, so it's worth asking about package deals.

Pest issues in a tree stump do not slow down the grinding process. The decay accelerated by pests can make grinding more efficient. However, if an infestation is present, it is important to arrange for pest control afterward to safeguard the health of your garden. Ensuring thorough pest management after stone removal supports long-term yard stability and prevents further damage.
