John the Arborist for tree stump grinding
Clear ✕All 9 Google reviews tagged “Tree stump grinding”
John and his crew have done work for us in 2024 and again this year. They are easy to work with, and go a great job trimming and removing trees and shrubs that have grown too large without damaging other nearby plants. I love having a pile of wood chips to spread in the garden, too, when they are done.
Fast and efficient professional work. 10/10 would recommend. First day-30mins to remove the tree and clean-up. Second day stump grind-30 from knock on the door to stump gone. It took him longer to set up the equipment and safety gear than actual stump grinding.
Always a great job and good communication!
John and his crew are skilled, efficient, reliable, and ethical. I have used their services numerous times and am completely satisfied.
John is knowledgable and experienced and easy to talk to. The three guys who came out last week removed 15 oriental (Chinese) arborvitae from three areas, trimmed both a Douglas fir and a red cedar. Everyone was professional and friendly and I enjoyed the experience.
John came out and assessed our situation, carefully taking photos of each area. The crew did a fantastic job. They were easy to work with even though we had multiple neighbors wanting various things. We really appreciated their thoroughness in making sure everyone was happy with the tree trimming on the property…
We highly recommend John the Arborist and team. We had a project that was difficult to access but they handled the removal and cleanup with care and skill. Their professionalism stood out—from providing a clear quote to sending timely appointment reminders. A reliable company that delivers outstanding service and is well worth supporting.
Had some difficulty getting this scheduled due to vacations, etc. but communication via email was always a quick response. Job was done efficiently and cleanup was great. Crew is energetic and personable! Strongly recommended.
John was very prompt in coming to review the project- a massive limb half way up our large spruce tree leaning on the neighbor’s vintage turn of the century home. Estimate was reasonable and got the job done ahead of schedule. No surprises, enjoyed meeting with the crew. Could not have been any better!
