A damaged, 150-year-old oak in a difficult location is one of the jobs customers describe hiring Stumpy’s Tree Service to remove. In a March 2026 Google review, the customer said a five-person crew used a crane, accommodated a request to stack wood, and cleaned up afterward—including sweeping a neighbor’s roof where part of the tree had fallen. An Ashland-based tree service, Stumpy’s advertises tree removal, trimming, and health assessments, along with free estimates and 24/7 emergency service. Its stated service area includes Ashland, Boston, Franklin, and towns across the South Shore. Another customer, writing in January 2026 after comparing quotes from companies in the Canton and Stoughton area, described reasonable pricing and crane work on a large tree with difficult access. The reviewer said the crew worked efficiently and left the area clean. A July reviewer also described working room as tight, praising Stumpy’s for arriving with a grinder and getting down to the roots on a hot day. Communication gets specific praise, too. A June reviewer named Natalie for being helpful and following through, and said the company explained the work during a property walkthrough, answered questions, worked with them on timing, and responded to calls. Later that month, another reviewer mentioned Nelson’s visit to look at the work and said the crew addressed every question or concern and completed the project in a timely manner. Google shows a 4.8-star average from 109 ratings. BBB gives the company an A+ grade and lists tree removal, pruning, stump grinding, cabling, and bracing among its services.

“Reneau said he sold his tree company to Stumpy's Tree Service, based in Ashland, in 1994.”
I was very leased with this company would highly recommend them. They were professional cleaned up. They had to work in a very small space found a way, I had another company that cut a tree in the front promised to come back with a grinder and did not.Stumpy's came all prepared with a grinder got right down to the roots. I had to hire for the tree in front of my house another company. to grind he left the roots which finally after Four years stopped growing. The guys from Stump's had to work on a very hot day they just were great. I am so pleased. They took what I thought was going to be a stressful day as this tree was very very big. to a day of relief.Thank You very much again would highly recommend this company.
We were very impressed with Stumpy's Tree Service. Everyone, from Nelson who came out to look at the work and all of the workmen who were here were very polite, professional, and knowledgeable. All the workers we chatted with seemed invested in the company and enjoyed their work. . Every question or concern we had was addressed. I especially noticed that there was no foul language at all as the men worked or spoke to each other. Thank you for completing our project in a timely manner.
From start to finish, we had a great experience with Stumpy's Tree Service, and I found their customer service to be excellent (I would like to specifically shout-out Natalie; every interaction I had with her was friendly and helpful, and she always followed through on what she said). From the first meeting and walking through the property together, they explained everything clearly and answered all my questions. They worked with us on timing of service, they were proactive in communicating, and they were responsive to my calls and follow up. Truly outstanding customer service and the team that executed the service were communicative, checked in on satisfaction, and got the job done perfectly (chef's kiss). And of course, we found the price to more than fair. I would highly recommend their services.
Came promptly for estimate, and price was very reasonable vs other services. Office staff excellent also. Crew was on time, courteous, accommodated a special request for stacking wood, and were super skilled; all five on the team worked in sync like an arboreal dance team, removing our 150-year old damaged oak tree in a challenging location without a hitch. Clean up went above and beyond (yes--the crane even hoisted one of the guys up to sweep off our neighbor's roof where part of the tree had fallen!). Will ask these folks to return for other tree work this year. Highly recommend.
After getting quotes from several tree companies in the Canton and Stoughton area, I chose Stumpy’s Tree Service from nearby Ashland because their pricing was very reasonable and their reviews were excellent. The crew was efficient, professional, and left the area clean. We had a large tree with difficult access, and they handled it expertly using a crane, navigating the space without any issues. I was very impressed and would highly recommend Stumpy’s Tree Service.
