Thank you for choosing Stumpin Off Services. We are a local, family owned and operated business and look forward to taking care of your stump grinding needs. We promise prompt, personal and professional service and excellent results. Call for a consultation.

"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."

"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.
