My neighbor recommended these guys highly. She was right. In perpetual motion, they eliminated 12 large stumps of recently cut trees, removing large stones and grinding deep. Hercules strong like bull
Was on time and finished early.
Hercules should have been my first call for stump grinding. A different company went weeks without responding to my calls. When I reached out to Hercules, they arrived the same day to provide a quote and schedule the removal for the next day. The stump was a few feet away from some arborvitaes and an AC…
Hercules was good at getting back to me quickly, providing a reasonable quote, and getting the stump ground down within a week. Very satisfied that they were able to get this done from start to finish more quickly than other services even returned a call.

Hercules Stump Grinding was fabulous to work with on a Hemlock tree stump on our property line.

“It’s a family affair”. Everyone was so great to work with! Came on time, took special care to not damage surrounding areas, ground stump and removed roots, exactly as discussed. It was the best experience I’ve had with tree work. Would highly recommend Hercules Stump Grinding!
We had a tree stump that needed grinding in our front yard. We reached out to Hercules Stump Grinding and Gary was very professional, came by to review the job, and had the stump ground down in minutes. They cleaned the yard and you would never say there was ever a stump there. Thank you Hercules Stump Grinding,…

I enthusiastically endorse Hercules Stump Grinding. They were prompt, efficient, and economical. I would definitely use them again
Very good company to work with. Gary, Debbie and Gary’s father were very courteous and professional at the same time delivering what was quoted and promised. I would definitely recommend them to any of my neighbors
My third time hiring them. Done perfectly again. Everything done thoroughly and clean.
We have used Hercules twice now and would highly recommend them. In both cases, they were very responsive in getting us a quote and answering our questions. They did excellent work for a fair price, and did a great job leaving the area neat and tidy when they were done. Everyone at Hercules is a pleasure to work with!
Responsive from beginning to end. Called them one day and the job was completed the next morning. Immediately returned my calls and arrived exactly on time. Reasonably priced and left the job site raked out and cleaned. Will use again!
