Gordy's team was on time, had proper equipment, knew what they were doing, and completed the job in a very professional manner. I am comfortable referring them to others. Very satisfied client - D. Blue read more

Gordy came out for a same day, on-site bid. His price was so reasonable! He and his helper were here 2 days later. We had 6 stumps done in an hour! It was amazing. Highly recommend Gordy! read more

These guys are amazing. Best ever. Get the job done. Guaranteed. Good old family owned business at reasonable price read more

First to come out to the see the job. First to get me a quote. The only one company to said they would come back if we got "pops ups". Set a date AND kept it. Gordy and Scott worked like a well oiled machine in our postage stamp of the backyard. It was truly a thing of beauty. They made fast work of our two stumps. Dig up our entire yard to ensure those roots were gone. Got it done and cleaned up in a bit over two hours. Well worth the money. read more

Another 5 star review in the books of yelp life... I must say I have never been so happy with a stump grinding service. They arrive on time, have excellent pricing, and always make me laugh! I hope to see this business around for many more years! Thank you Gordy and Scott for making our dreams come true! read more

We have used Gordy several times over the years and could not be happier with his service. Fast response, reasonable price, and most importantly, just a great guy! read more

My husband is a "do it yourself" type and removed over a dozen trees from our yard. The stumps were the only daunting part - especially since some of them were in a very tight spot surrounded by concrete. I thought ours would be a difficult job, but I can tell these guys have done much tougher jobs than ours. They have contracts with several cities, colleges, etc. so I was worried it would cost a lot more money than the "cheap" guys. Happy to find out I was wrong! Their prices are very reasonable, and they did all the stumps in less than 2 hours. The equipment they use is more advanced than most. They own grinders of various sizes, and have modified them to make them more powerful, fit in tight spots, etc. Basically, they're doing it the "smart way", not the "hard way". The "tight spot" machine was especially helpful with our job (none of the concrete was damaged). What I especially liked was the workers themselves. Gordy and his son Scott were super-friendly, and it feels great to support such a nice Father/Son team (they told me they could get bigger if they wanted, but prefer to just keep it as the two of them). I'm going to upload some photos of my job - my favorite is the one where both Gordy & Scott are working on the same stump (they used the "tight spot" machine to work around our plumbing, and the bigger machine to do the heavy grinding). We would use them again in a heartbeat - highly recommended. (We're in Carlsbad - they service all of the San Diego area) read more

Amazing service as always. This is the second time we have used Gordy's Stump Grinding and only wish there were more stumps to grind! We can't recommend Gordy enough. On time, friendly, perfectly priced and gets the job done. No job is too big. Last time, he even helped another contractor who was working on our yard because he 'had the right tool and didn't mind saving them some time'. Thanks again, Gordy. read more

I cannot say enough great things about Gordy. He and his son came to grind two stumps in our yard. One of the stumps was so wide that two other companies were unable to grind them. Not only did Gordy swing by my house to give me a quote the same day but he and his son grinded the rest of the stumps in our yard for free. Yes, for free. Super good guys. Very kind, professional and courteous. I'd highly recommend these guys. read more

Gordy's Stump Grinding and came out and took care of our numerous eucalyptus tree stumps. They were very well prepared and had excellent machines to do the job. We are very satisfied with the results, and thank them for coming out. I highly recommend their service to everyone. read more

All the 5 star reviews here are right on! These guys are great. Don't waste your time "interviewing" several other people or companies (found on Craigslist) like I did. These guys have the right equipment, were on time, and it's a good price. They removed 100+ stumps from my yard in Encinitas and I'll have them back out again when they are done clearing the rest of the property. read more

Just had Gordy do a two tree stump grinding job. I had the trees removed by other company that refused to come back and even give me an estimate to finish the job. Gordy came in gave me an estimate, came back a couple of days later and did an excellent job. I love pros. These guys have the equipment and know what their doing. I would recommend them to anyone looking to get the job done. read more

Efficient, punctual, friendly, courteous. Gordy and his crew did a fantastic job grinding a tree stump at my home. Do not hesitate to contact Gordy and his staff for any tree stump project. read more

Stump grinding done proper. Father and son have the experience and equipment for every job. They guarantee your satisfaction. They say what they do and do what they say all for a very reasonable price. Next time you need your trees serviced DO NOT call Henderson Tree Service (see review) and always call Gordy for all stump grinding jobs. Top notch from start to leaf blowing clean finish. Thanks Gordy and son. read more

Gordy & his son came out today & did the most amazing job removing some 16 stumps or so from both my front & back yard. According to my husband all were gone in about 30 minutes. I can't say enough great things about this company! read more

Gordy's Stump Grinding - Landscaping Near Me - Santee, California

Gordy and Scott are the best. I was recommended to them by two other companies who admittedly couldn't perform the job. Gordy and Scott came over and knocked out a 7' diameter pepper tree stump on an incline. They couldn't get it all out on the first trip but followed up with a second visit and finished the job. They were professional and friendly. They even removed a couple of my neighbor's stumps for free for allowing them to use his yard for access to my yard. Guys are a class act, reputable, and men of their word. I also hear they know how to smoke meat like champions. I can't confirm that but would love to find out. read more

Gordy's Stump Grinding - Do you see the huge stump? Me neither! Great job Gordy and Scott - Landscaping Near Me - Santee, California

Returned my call in a timely manner, came out for an estimate and returned the next morning to grind the stump. Honest, efficient and reliable. 5 star review because they provide 5 star service. read more

4th time I've used Gordy's over the past 15 years or so. This time to remove 4 small-medium size palm stumps. Still fast, reliable, and very reasonable pricing. They have all sizes of grinding equipment for the largest to small job. Highly recommend. No need to look further. read more

We had a huge pepper tree in our backyard that we wanted to get rid of. My husband cut down as much as he could, but he needed heavy machinery to get rid of the stump. Gordy came to the rescue well prepared with his son. Both were very friendly and professional. We should have called them sooner instead of trying to do it ourselves. Really nice guys that are good at stump grinding. read more

Gordy and Scott are great to work with!!! We have used them 4 times in the past five years. Their prices are very reasonable, they arrive of time and get the job done quickly. They have tons of equipment to tackle any job big or small. It might take them a day or two to get back to you so be patient, they are worth waiting for. Old school quality and service. read more

Great job, and great price! Gordy ground that stump down and leveled it! I highly recommend him.

PERFECTION!!! On time, professional , efficient, their equipment is state of the art, price is very reasonable. Excellent job, they grinned the stumps even in hard to reach areas. A pleasure to work with, honest and reliable, highly recommend them. read more

Great job, Gordy!!! I had 2 massive alder stumps grown around/over with a year's worth of weeds & debris. Didn't matter... Gordy & crew came out, not only got out the stumps, but also the pesky roots that ran along the top of the ground. The roots were beginning to lift parts of our hardscape; Gordy went around & got 'em out, especially since we want to lay artificial turf. And he's guaranteed his work forever!!! If we bulldoze to lay the foundation for the turf, and find roots we can't deal with, he'll come back, no charge. How does it get any better than that? Price was more than fair! read more

I had a gigantic pepper tree stump in my backyard down a really steep hill. Gordy's was able to bring a grinder down the hill and charged me at least $100 less than any other company I asked. I had companies declining to do the work because of the location of the stump! The men at Gordy's were friendly and prompt, and they guaranteed their work which means they will come back any time if I notice that pesky pepper tree growing back. read more

I called and they returned my call and made an appointment for the next day to look at the job. It has been close to three weeks now and no phone call to say sorry they would not be by. Thank you Gordy's Stump Grinding. read more

I just had Gordy and Scott out to remove 16 tenacious oleander stumps, that have been a pain in my side since we moved in. They are true professionals and set the bar high. There is no scam here Gordy is a man of his word. He came out checked our situation quoted a very reasonable price came back the next day on-time ready to work. The father son duo did exactly as quoted and even guaranteed there work (if anything grew back they would come back for no charge) All this for the original agreed upon price. Excellent work ethic I would absolutely recommend their services to anyone in need. read more

I had 11 tree stumps that needed grinding. I called Gordy's Stump Grinding after seeing his great reviews. I'm glad I did. He and his son, Scott, were able to come over the next day and give me an estimate that was very reasonable. I asked when he could do the work. They had their equipment with them and started right then. While grinding away, they asked me if I wanted and short but very fat palm tree ground up as well. Yes, I did. After Gordy and Scott finished all of the work, including the palm tree, they did not charge me extra for the palm. I insisted on paying more because they were such great people and diligent workers. If you have any tree stumps you want to get rid of, absolutely call Gordy's Stump Grinding. read more

A while back, after we bought our house in Fletcher Hills, Gordy and his son Scott came out and did a fast and efficient job of removing a lot of stumps. Their prices were reasonable and they clearly knew their stuff. The same day, I showed Scott an ugly 8 ft. metal pole that some former owner of our house had embedded in concrete-- it didn't look like that thing was ever going anywhere. I don't think it was in their job description, but Scott took it as a challenge and dug that out too. Recently we discovered another stump hidden just under the surface of the dirt. Gordy's came back and ground it out for free, though we were more than willing to pay. I call that really standing behind your work. Gordy's is the best. 5 Stars! read more

Excellent job! I battled a Shefflera stump for a few hours before I (and my back) gave up and called Gordy. He returned my call within the hour and was here the next morning, on time almost to the minute. Very personable and reasonably priced. No gouging and no nonsense. That stump and the mess were gone in 15 minutes. I will definitely recommend them for professional work to anyone. read more

Gordy you and your stump grinder rock! Great guy, great job, great price, I'm a happy camper. :)

Look, it's simple. You may pay less elsewhere, but Gordy and Scott have the proper equipment for any job, they know what they are doing, and the job will be done right. They are a family-owned business, they take pride in their work, and guarantee your satisfaction forever. If only all businesses were run the same way... I'm completely satisfied. Thanks guys! read more

Honest people doing and outstanding job. Briefly I highly recommend Scott and team to all home owners.

Im a big do-it-yourselfer, worked construction, been in the military, and pretty much covered the gamit of jobs, but I gratefully hired Gordy's to do this one for me. Do yourself a favor and call them if you need a stump removed. We had a 50 year old Ficus stump in our front yard that had roots going out at least 12 feet in each direction that were probably 10 inches high, along with 6 other smaller stumps. Our yard was a complete mess of nothing but roots. Gordy and his son Scott came out with a stump grinder the size of small car and did twice as much work as I was expecting for their quoted price. Im the type of person that will spend 6 hours on the internet to save $10. So I reasearched this task sure I could do it myself and save a buck. Turns out the largest stump grinder I could rent costs nearly $200/day and is half the size of the one used by Gordy. The smaller stump grinder means it takes longer and does not go down as deep. After seeing what they did, I estimate it would have taken me two days to complete this task, plus my labor, plus the risk of not knowing what I was doing. Do the math yourself. But I ended up saving a ton of cash and headache, plus Gordy and Scott are super awesome dudes and I had a blast BS'ing with them after they finished the job. Great service, would hire them again in a second. read more

We've been using Gordy's services for years. He does a wonderful job every time. Gordy is dependable, trustworthy and just a great guy. We highly recommend Gordy's Stump Grinding. read more

AWESOME AWESOME AWESOME!! If I could leave more than 5 stars I would. I was extremely impressed with Gordys. He showed up Friday evening gave us a quote and the job was completed Monday morning before noon. They beyond exceeded our expectations. I know nothing about stump grinding equipment but they have some great equipment. Chewed up a large stump in minutes. They also had great customer service, by far my best find on yelp to date. And trust me we hired a lot of people off yelp reviews. Don't waste your time or money with other companies, just call Gordys, you won't be sorry. read more

I hate to have to write a negative review because clearly they do a good job, but I have called over 4 times and left two messages, but nobody has returned my call. I know I should have already gone with another company, but this one has such great reviews. Guess it is time to move on! read more

It sounds like they do a good job if they actually come to your house but, unfortunately I left three messages and didn't even get a call back. read more

Great customer service. Took care of the stump and got the area cleaned up for me. Greatly appreciate the extra help!

We love honest people. Scott came out to give us a quote for stump removal. He knew we were about to have our land level by bobcat, so he suggested we save our money on stump removal and have the bobcat guy pull it up by the root. There are so many contractors out to make a quick buck, but Scott is one of the few honest people left. Please use them if you need stump grind/remove. Our stumps were old and very brittle, so it made since to pull it up. Will definitely recommend them to our friends. read more

Honest people doing fantastic work for a very fair and reasonable price. On time, efficient and they guarantee their work (needed in case our stubborn pepper tree decides to grow back). No reason for go anywhere else if you need stumps removed. Gordy and Scott are great. read more
