I had a yucca stand that became much larger than expected, and was doing some pretty serious damage to the fence. I managed to get most of it down myself, but was left with a big stump. The stump was in a tricky place, sandwiched in a foot-wide space between a stone planter box and the fence. I called a few of the local tree companies for estimates. It was obvious that they weren't excited about doing the job, and some were quite clear that they could trim the stump lower, but not actually remove the whole thing. But, one of them referred Bob's Tree and Stump to me. The tree company set up the initial contact, and I then texted Bob a few pictures of the situation (to confirm what the tree company had told him). He quoted a range in line with the tree company's estimates, and was able to come out the next day. The stump is gone! Bob and his partner did it in the timeframe estimated, got the whole stump out (along with a little baby stump next to it that wasn't part of the original work estimate, and isn't shown in the pictures), and didn't further damage the fence -- pretty impressive, considering the lack of space to work. The machine left behind piles of "yucca dust" (sticky nasty stuff), but Bob warned me that would be the case -- he's not set up to haul out the detritus.
Most of Bob's work comes through referrals from tree companies, but he's open for "direct business", too. No website, but you can check out his work at https://www.facebook.com/bobstreeandstump/ read more
