Randy did a great job removing 7 stumps of varying sizes around my property. He left each area looking neat and tidy!

Wonderful, fast, and affordable service! It was easy to schedule a day/time to have 3 stumps removed from the area between my courtyard and the public sidewalk. Randy is fast and he cleaned up the area so well it was cleaner than before he started! Randy and his wife Kim are personable and great to work with. Highly recommend! read more

Needed a stump and large roots grinded out. Kim helped me out to secure an appointment on short notice. Randy came and cleared out a stump and large root issue. He was very efficient and did a great job cleaning up the residue created by the chipping machine. Very reasonably priced. I highly recommend their service. read more

Randy at Chip-Away provides superb service. We have hired him twice, once for a large stump in an inconvenient place, and again to remove several small stumps in tight circumstances. He is knowledgeable, professional and thorough, and uses screens to contain the chips. Once the job was complete, my husband couldn't even find the place where he had worked. In addition, both he and Kim are friendly, kind, honest, and affordable. Hire him! read more

Unlike all of the arborist companies I've hired in the past, who left unsightly stumps, Randy at Chip-Away has a small chipper that can be maneuvered through narrow garden paths and is able to remove stumps to a depth of 14 to 15 inches. Randy and his wife Kim are affable and easy to work with. I had two 6' x 36" aspen stumps/root balls, one with about 6 feet of trunk left on it, and two 30-year-old damaged arborvitae removed for $850. He included another small aspen stump at no cost. And, unlike the arborists who removed dangerous and fallen trees from the January ice storm, he did not damage a gate or vinyl deck. read more

Our arborist referred us to Chip Away and they were terrific. They called promptly to set up an appointment for an estimate. Randy arrived when he said he would, gave us an estimate for less than the other company we had contacted. We made an appointment to have a large cherry stump ground. They took care of ordering a utility locate and a week later, we have a large pile of cherry chips to use as mulch and no stump! I appreciated that Randy did his best to avoid my emerging daffodils and set up a net barrier around the stump to contain the chips while he was grinding. It was a treat working with such professional and friendly people. read more

Chip-Away did an excellent job of removing a stump from my backyard. Randy was careful not to cause any damage and cleaned up afterward. Very easy to work with this family owned business. Highly recommended read more

We love Chip-Away! We have used them twice now and every time they've come out they have done an amazing job. They're responsive, friendly, well priced, and always on time. We will always call them if we have a stump that needs to be removed. Thank you, Chip-Away! read more

Randy came out and stump grounded (is that a 'word'?) five trees that had been removed from our yard. He was thorough and concerned, especially since one of our large stumps was near power/cable lines. Not only did he take the time to explain things to us, he used a debris shield to keep the dust to a minimum and his clean-up of the job site was fantastic. I would totally hire them again and recommend them to anyone. Prices are very reasonable. read more

We hired Chip-Away Stump Grinding to make 10 stumps go away. We were impressed with his quality of work, including use of screens and wooden boards to protect our nearby house, as well as trees and shrubs near each site. Above all: no hassle, no nonsense, just stump grinding with a genuine smile. We will certainly be hiring Chip-Away Stump Grinding the next time we need these services. Update July 2014: and then we took two more trees out, called them up again, and they happily took care of those nasty old stumps. Another excellent experience here! As a side-note, while we didn't ask for it, we decided to go a little deeper when digging up the yard near where one stump *was*...boy, he went deep, as we just could not find any trace of the old cherry tree, despite us digging ~2 feet into the ground right where the stump was. This was all without having to ask for any sort of "deep" stump removal. That's quality and thorough workmanship right there. Thank you! read more

Super attentive, extremely friendly, and knowledgeable and professional. Got the job done right the first time, and left the site looking super clean compared to what we had even hoped for. Highly recommended! read more

Chip-Away Tree Grinding service did an AMAZING job in our front yard. They cleared away a rather large stump from a tree that had been cut down and all the roots with in about 10 feet of the stump for a VERY reasonable price. My yard looks great and best of all NO MORE little miniature trees popping up everywhere on the roots that were left. This was a sweet gum tree and they have a very massive bad root system which is hard to get rid of and he did it! Kim was always very attentive and had a great personality. She kept me informed of everything along the way. I'm going to enjoy my front yard SO much more now that I don't have to keep cutting down those suckers every other week. Can't wait to redesign the new area. Time to get rid of the stump in my back yard next! I'd recommend them to anyone looking to have a stump ground up and root system too. Kyla read more

Can't go wrong with this business! Had a lot of stumps to be removed from our front yard, Randy and his team removed all of them and even cleaned up behind them! Thank you for your professionalism and giving me hope for my front yard patio! Highest recommendations! read more

We ended up having 12-13 stumps ground out. The neighbor next to us said he hadn't ever seen anyone use screen. It was done well and kind of fun to watch. It would have been a forever job trying to get any of these out! Will use again and definitely refer. Great service. read more

I needed 4 stumps removed as part of a fence project. I called Chip-Away and they were incredibly easy to deal with. They came out to do a free estimate and returned soon thereafter to do the work. Randy did a great job getting out the stumps making sure to follow the roots as far as possible to prevent re-growth. He even took the extra time necessary to get one that was right up against a concrete wall. It even had a pipe stuck in the middle of it which required a certain amount of finesse. He could have easily said that he couldn't do it. It especially meant a lot to me that he took the time to clean up the mess and smooth the dirt out when he was finished . At the end of the day, the whole thing only cost me 200 bucks which I thought was a bargain considering how much time it would have taken me to try to dig those things out. It costs about $150 to rent a stump-grinding machine anyway, so this is definitely the way to go. Quick, easy and the job is finished correctly with minimal fuss. It saved me a weekend for much better things. read more

They did a wonderful job grinding our stump! If we ever need a stump ground again we will be calling them.

Great experience. Randy and Kim are very professional and pleasant. I had one large stump removed. They arrived on time, made sure the utility lines were not a factor, set-up a barrier and got to work. They were completely finished within an hour. Their prices are reasonable and was within the quoted range I received over the phone. Would definitely recommend. read more

Randy knows his stuff! He's got all the right gear to get the job done and protect your property. Super honest and trustworthy, I would highly recommend. read more

We called Chip-Away to remove a stump from a 30+ year old tree we had removed in the front yard. They answered all of my questions and provided a courteous quote via email (we also talked over the phone but I preferred and appreciated the email communications!). I believe the quote was a fair price for the work being done. The stump was 6-7 feet in diameter and was no trouble for these folks. They arrived as promised and removed this eyesore from my yard. I asked to keep the remains of the stump in a pile so that I could use it to spread around the flowers in the yard. They really did a super nice job and that goes for the exceptional cleanup afterwards. I would highly recommend this business and would call them again if I need any stumps removed in the future. read more

Randy did an excellent job removing my two stumps and cutting back a root that was growing towards our patio. He was friendly, knowledgeable, and careful. When removing a stump near my gutter drain, he made sure to dig out the surrounding dirt to locate the pvc pipe that was carrying the water underground. Because of this, he was able to remove the stump without damaging the pvc pipe. I was very impressed! I would recommend Randy and Chip-Away to anyone! read more

We just had Chip-Away come out and take out approximately 40 stumps (from an old hedge) in our front yard. Kim responded to our quote inquiry within a couple of hours (after hours on a Friday) and the price was incredible reasonable. We're completely satisfied with the work they did. They left things looking better than they did before! read more

These guys are so great! We've used Chip Away for two jobs removing large rows of laurel stumps and were very pleased with the results. The price was very fair and our yard was left super clean afterwards. We'd use them again anytime! Super nice people as well! read more

Very good phone communication. Came on time, did a great job at bid price. Also did cleanup of sight and surrounding areas.
