Meet Kevin

You deal directly with the person doing the work.

Hi, I’m Kevin. When you call, you get me — not a dispatcher. I walk your property, quote the job to your face, run the grinder myself, and clean up before I leave. That’s the whole business.

After years of tree and property work across Spartanburg County, Kevin built the business around three things homeowners kept asking for: clear communication, no-surprise pricing, and a yard that’s better when we leave than when we arrived.

How it works

Four steps. No surprises.

We designed the process so you know exactly what happens and when — from your first call to a level, clean yard.

  1. Step 1: Request your free quote

    Send the form or call Kevin directly. Tell us how many stumps and roughly where they are.

  2. Step 2: On-site assessment

    Kevin walks your property, checks access and irrigation, and gives you a clear, no-pressure price.

  3. Step 3: Approve & schedule

    Pick a date that works. A small deposit locks in your appointment.

  4. Step 4: Grind, clean, done

    We grind well below grade, clean up, and leave your yard looking better than we found it.

Before / After

FAQ

The stuff people always ask.

Honest answers to the questions we hear most. Don't see yours? Call Kevin — he'd rather talk it through than have you guess.

How long does stump grinding take?

Most single stumps are done in 1–2 hours depending on size, wood type, depth, and access. Multiple or very large stumps take longer. We give you a time estimate during the free on-site assessment.

How much does stump grinding cost?

Most single-stump residential jobs in Spartanburg County fall between $130 and $250. The final price depends on stump size, wood type, access, and how deep you want it ground. We give you a firm, written quote after the free on-site assessment — no surprises.

Is stump grinding safe for my lawn and property?

Yes. Kevin stages carefully, protects irrigation and hardscapes, and uses equipment sized to your access. Minor turf marks from tracks recover in a couple of weeks.

What happens to the wood chips / mulch?

Your call. We can leave the chips on-site as free mulch for your beds and gardens, or haul everything away for a completely clean finish. We confirm your preference before we start.

Are you fully insured?

Yes — general liability insurance on every job. We can send a certificate of insurance directly to homeowners, HOAs, or property managers on request.
