In an April 2024 Google review, a customer wrote that Jim, the owner of Stump Grump, came recommended by their tree removal service, called right back, ground out the stump with care for their gardens, and afterward texted to offer to bring his backhoe over to help dig the hole for a 10-foot replacement tree with a huge rootball. The Quaker Hill, Connecticut business holds 5 stars from 11 Google ratings. Its Connecticut home improvement contractor registration, HIC.0659453, is expired on the state registry. In another April 2024 review, a customer wrote that Jim removed several large stumps and explained what to expect both on grinding day and long term, as decaying wood particles deplete nitrogen in the soil, and how to fix it. In March 2024 a reviewer said Jimmy returned their call the same day while out of town, gave a fair quote, handled call-before-you-dig, and offered advice on regrowing grass where the stumps came out. A February 2024 customer wrote that the business took on a stump within their deadline after they were suddenly left without anyone to do it.
I cannot say enough good things about Stump Grump Grinding Service. Jim, the owner, was recommended by our tree Removal service and his response time was awesome - called us right back, got everything set up and arrived promptly on the day. He did a beautiful job on the stump and was very respectful of our property and gardens. But there is another reason why we found Jim remarkable. While at our house, he saw we had a new tree ready to replace the old with that was 10' tall with huge rootball. He asked my husband how he was going to dig the hole to plant it and my husband said with a shovel. After Jim left, he texted my husband and said he couldn't stop thinking of my husband digging that hole and offered to help us bringing his backhoe to our house and finishing the job together. He was so kind and helpful. It was lovely to meet someone like that when you hear so few cases of kindness. I give Stump Grump my highest recommendation - you do not have to worry if the job will be well done and you won't have to worry about with whom you are dealing - both are A++.
Stump Grump Stump Grinding was a great find to remove our several LARGE stumps. Jim was very professional, knowledgeable, and highly efficient. He explained the process and what to expect not only on the day of grinding, but long term with the nitrogen levels depleting due to the decay of the wood particles and how to fix it. I highly recommend Stump Grump services not only for the fair pricing, but the experience and knowledge Jim comes with. Great guy and great experience.
Awesome local company! Jimmy returned my call same day even though he was out of town. Provided a very fair quote, was incredibly thorough and safe (handled call before you dig) and got this done right away for us! He also gave us great recommendations for regrowing the grass in the areas stumps were removed to support growth where the tree remnants might be acidic. Just an overall kind, helpful person who also does great work! Stump grump is NOT a grump! Highly recommend!
We were suddenly without someone to do a stump within our deadline and the stump grump was the opposite of grumpy about that. So nice, and such good work. Thank you!
