What to Know Before Removing a Tree Stump
Record the basic details
Count the stumps and estimate their diameters without putting yourself at risk. Take a clear close photo and a wider view of each location. Avoid including people, house numbers or other private details in photos intended for public use.
Explain access and surroundings
Describe gates, fences, slopes, buildings and anything else that affects access. Mention known irrigation and underground utilities. Discuss any required locate steps with the owner before work; do not excavate around a stump as a way to prepare.
Confirm what you are agreeing to
Ask about the proposed method, stump scope, cleanup and material handling. Do not assume that complete root extraction, soil replacement, replanting or restoration are included. The scope should be clear before work begins.
Share your plans and timeline
Explain how you intend to use the area and when you would like the work done. An estimate request is the beginning of a conversation, not a confirmed appointment. Use the free form to send your contact information, property location, stump details and photos for review.
