Was on time and finished early.
We had a potentially tricky stump adjacent to our septic system leaching field. Hercules was terrific--consulted in detail ahead of the job, arrived as advertised and got the stump out with due care for the adjacent underground systems and provided a ball park quote for a much larger stump in the front yard as well. Highly recommended.
Hercules Stump Grinding was fabulous to work with on a Hemlock tree stump on our property line. The grinding involved coordination with two neighbors to get access to the stump and the Hercules team was creative and thoughtful as we figured out the best timing and access points to remove the stump in the easiest…
I would highly recommend the team at Hercules. Responsive, thorough and professional from start to finish. Our stump was particularly challenging because it was in a spot where it could not be accessed by equipment. The team manually removed the stump and roots in a very thorough manner and efficient.
So glad we hired Gary to remove the 3 stumps from our side yard. They were responsive from beginning to end and got the job done quickly and professionally. Pleasure to work with, I highly recommend!!
I hired Hercules Stump Grinding to remove 5 large stumps of mature shrubs yard that had declined. A lot of companies just grind tree stumps and/or bring in heavy equipment to pull the trees or shurbs out using a chain attached to a truck. Because my backyard is small, closely planted and without easy access this was…
Excellent work by Gary and his crew. Quick, clean, and affordable. Highly recommend.
I enthusiastically endorse Hercules Stump Grinding. They were prompt, efficient, and economical. I would definitely use them again
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!
Great Family owned and operated business. Excellent communication and extremely reasonably priced. Will use again
Very professional and reliable equipment.👍🇺🇸

Thank you Hercules Stump Grinding, LLC. An amazing job per usual! No stump is too tough for the mighty Hercules 💪
Very friendly, punctual and knowledgeable. Quite efficient and informative while working. Would recommend to my neighbors and other home owners.
Hercules Stump Grinding was amazing. I contacted 5 companies to see who could remove some complicated stumps from my yard and they were the only ones interested in taking on the job. They did amazing work--prompt, clean, efficient, and good communication. I highly recommend!
Had a great experience with Hercules. They were responsive and did a great job grinding four stumps, including a massive one, for us.
Hercules Stump Grinding did a fantastic job removing multiple stumps in our front yard. It was a difficult job since the stumps were on the edge of an elevated yard. Thanks to Gary and his team.
Very pleased with Hercules' work! They were responsive, friendly, transparent, fair and did high quality work. Would highly recommend and hire again.
I called Hercules Stump Grinding late in the afternoon to see about getting an estimate to remove a large crab-apple stump in my back yard. Debbie returned my call within 15 minutes and she was able to get out to the house to give me an estimate the next morning. She explained everything they would do, and quoted…
Hercules Stump Grinding took care of 5 stumps in the front of my house and I must say...THEY ARE GREAT! Prompt visit for an estimate, super reasonable price, responsible and above all HONEST. They will do the job ONLY if they can do it! If they can't, they will not lie and take your money. Highly recommend!!!
Amazing team to work with -- from start to finish everyone was friendly, professional, helpful, and responsive. We cut down a very large 100+ year old silver maple that was growing into our driveway. We called around to a few places to get the stump ground down. Many didn't call us back, some took a look at photos…
I am impressed by the stump removal service provided. I searched the web and found this company has perfect score and has many more reviews than other providers. So I called. Debbie came the next day and explained how deep they will go. I like what she described and intuition tells me the quality should be good,…
Couldn't ask for a better contractor to do some work at my home.....I wish all contractors could follow their example.....performed all work in a neat, professional manner with great attention to safety of personnel and property. Getting an estimate was quick and painless. Why go anywhere else?
Removed a row of 14 stumps. Did a great job! Great communication, showed up when they said and made quick work of the job!
Stump removal, very professional, friendly and right on time. They efficiently, neatly and without too much mess or noise completed the job quickly .
Stop! Don’t even bother looking for another stump removal company. Hercules is all you need. From Gary’s state of the art grinding machine to his 82 year old father looking over his shoulder, this family business is the real deal. Debbie returned my call same day and was out for an estimate the next. They performed…
Special thank you to Hercules Stump Grinding who came within days of being asked to remove a massive oak tree stump in my yard. Myself, a builder, and not having much trust in the industry due to bad experiences with other stump grinding companies throughout the years was skeptical from the get go. Gary along with…
Hercules removed a pesky mulberry stump in my back yard, in very tight conditions. They were quick, neat, and conscientious of both my property and the neighbors. Would not hesitate to use them again, and highly recommend their services.
Fast, efficient, responsive, and super pleasant to work with. I saw Gary and his father working in the neighborhood and asked for an estimate. They were at our house the same day and quoted a fair price. A couple weeks later, they worked for the better part of a day removing a tree stump that had grown in between a…
Gary was awesome! Very professional and on time. Couldn’t recommend anyone better #bro
Hercules Stump Grinding removed 15 tree stumps from our condominium property and we found Debbie, Gary and Dimitrios wonderful to work with. The two sites here were difficult to access but Gary found ways to get his equipment in and out without a trace of its pathway. They left the ground looking natural and…
After a local tree removal company cut down several pine trees in our yard and performed a less than satisfactory job (looking at you, Royer Tree Services), we recruited Hercules Stump Grinding to finish the task and remove some above ground roots. Gary, Debbie and their crew were an absolute pleasure to deal with.…
I am so glad we chose Hercules Stump Grinding to take care of the front of our house! Gary is so professional and friendly and did a fantastic job getting rid of our stumps. If you are wondering who to call for a job well done do yourself a favor and call them up. 10/10!
I had a stump removed, quick service and reasonably priced. The gentlemen are very courteous.
We had about 20 trees cut down we call Gary and he came the same day with a quote. The price was great and he came 3 days later and now we can get to replanting!!! Thanks Brigid White
Very professional! Good people to work with.Would definitely recommend and rehire!
Gary and his team were very professional and did great work. They promptly responded to any inquiry, they removed all stumps at a fair price, and I love that they are a family business. Would highly recommend!
