FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
SUPERIOR STUMP REMOVAL FAQs
What is the difference between stump grinding and stump removal?
Stump removal removes the root zone and the tree stump to ensure the tree doesn’t grow back. It requires more work and more time to permanently remove a stump. Stump grinding is just what it says.
A machine is used to grind down the visible stump and surface roots to create a smooth surface. However, it doesn’t destroy the root system below, so over time, a tree can begin to grow.
Unlike stump grinding machines, our stump removal machines are designed to go deep enough to permanently remove the old tree so you can safely replant or reclaim the space.
Do you clean up the stump removal debris?
Absolutely! We chip and mulch the tree debris and can spread it where you want or take it away. We level and grade the area, so you are left with a smooth clear space for whatever comes next.
Do you call 8-1-1 (Call Before You Dig), or do I?
Yes. I call every time. Some stump removal companies don’t go deep enough to hit buried utilities, but I do. So to protect you, your property, and myself, I always call before I remove your stump.
It is the legal responsibility of the contractor performing the work to call 811.
How much do you charge for stump removal?
There is no set price, Size, and quantity of stumps, depth, access, and clean up or leaving the mulch in a neat pile all have an effect on the price. We offer free estimates and on-site quotes to determine the cost of your stump removal. Book yours today!
Are you insured?
Yes. I am fully insured, and if there were licenses or certifications needed to provide stump removal services in Florida, I would have them too. I am happy to present my current certificate of insurance at your request.
Can you remove my stump today?
Not usually. I won’t tackle any stump removal project until the utilities have been clearly marked.
I provide honest and fair service. As a result, I have a full schedule. If you are in a pinch, I will try my hardest to perform the work you need within your timeline if at all possible.
How long does 811 take to mark the lines?
Colorado utilities can usually mark the lines on your property within 3 business days of the initiation of the ticket. During spring and summer, it can take longer because of the high call volume from local contractors.
Will your stump removal machine damage my lawn?
The machines we use are designed to work on lawns. I have multiple machines and ground protection to ensure your property is not damaged in the stump removal process. Talk to us to learn more.
I have a smaller than usual gate, and the other company said they could not get their machine to the stump. Can you?
I have 4 different machines for removing stumps. 2 of them are 29” wide instead of 36”, so they will fit through tighter, more delicate areas.
Do you offer a guarantee?
Yes. I stand by my work and guarantee your complete satisfaction. At Superior Stump , the job isn’t done until you are happy with the results.
