Ed's Stump Grinding

Ed's Stump Grinding is a Pelham, New Hampshire stump-grinding and tree-stump-removal business. Its services also include shrub removal, and the company says it can provide cleanup after stump work. BBB lists it as accredited with an A+ rating and 28 years in business, while its website lists a service area spanning communities from Methuen and Andover through Newburyport and North Reading. Homeowners describe a small, hands-on operation whose work is centered on stump grinding and related tree work. In Google reviews from 2021 through 2024, customers repeatedly praised fair or reasonable pricing, prompt scheduling, responsiveness, careful work around lawns and utility lines, neat cleanup, and professional results. One 2024 reviewer said Mark priced and completed 20 stumps within the same week; another said three large stumps were ground with little or no lawn damage. The Google listing shows 4.7 stars from 29 ratings, and the written reviews include 13 dated accounts on file. There is also a negative scheduling experience to ask about: a 2023 Google reviewer gave one star after saying the company never called back to arrange an estimate. That is one account among otherwise favorable written reviews, but it is specific enough to confirm how quickly estimates and callbacks are handled. The BBB profile identifies Edward Hurrell as owner and describes the business as a sole proprietorship; no license claim or government action is stated in the reviewed profiles. Ed's appears suited to homeowners needing stump grinding, stump removal, or related shrub and tree-stump work across its stated southern New Hampshire and northeastern Massachusetts service area. Before booking, confirm the exact scope, cleanup, estimate timing, and availability for the property.
