John VanBrunt describes one stump job, its timing, weather, cleanup, and result in his own words.

I had a massive water oak stump that I wanted removed the same day. Apex came out, gave me an estimate, and got the job done that day. They cleaned everything up, even worked through pouring rain, and did an excellent job. They were professional, easy to work with, and I highly recommend them

The guy who competed the work was professional and did not waste time. I was especially impressed with the cleanup afterwards. I highly recommend the services of this company. I had one tree and two stumps removed.

5-star Google review

Jose removed a mulberry tree on my property. Despite it being a tight space between my property and the neighbor, the tree removal and stump grinding went very smoothly and the work was completed in less than 2 hours. The cost for the work was very reasonable and we'll certainly used Apex again in the future.

Call about stump grinding
Does stump grinding mean every root is removed?

Ask Apex to define the job-specific grinding boundary, including the planned depth and how visible roots will be handled, in the written scope.

Does grinding include grading or restoration?

Treat grading, soil, seed, planting, and other restoration as separate scope unless they are written into the estimate.

When should I use Emergency Tree Service?

If a tree has fallen, struck a structure, blocked access, split, or left a large limb hanging, keep away and use Emergency Tree Service. If people or power lines are involved, call 911 or the electric utility first.
