Tree stump removal in Arcadia

A stump left in the yard is the job on this page, and Empire Tree Care does tree stump removal in Arcadia and across the San Gabriel Valley. The stump is what stays after a tree comes down: the cut-off base sitting in your lawn, next to your driveway or along a fence. Tree removal deals with the tree standing above ground. A stump job begins once that part is over. Call or text (626) 493-7629 to start.

People call when a stump is in the way. An old stump and one from a tree that came down last month are the same kind of call. A date and time get set for the estimate, and quotes are not made from a picture, so the number comes after you have talked it through. You get a text when they head your way, and the number you were given stays put.

Grinding is a separate service, and the tree stump grinding page covers it on its own. Both are on the business's list, so read the two pages if you are deciding between them, and say which one you have in mind when you call. It's a father and son business, and they speak Spanish. Hours are Monday through Saturday, from 6 AM to 9 PM, and Sunday is closed.

• Free estimate at your property
• A text when they are on the way
• The price quoted is the price you pay

What is tree stump removal, and how is it different from tree removal?

Tree stump removal is the job of getting the stump out of your yard once the tree above it is gone. It's a different call from tree removal, which is about the trunk, limbs and crown that are still standing. If the tree is still up, start there and mention the stump when you book. If the tree is already down, the stump is the whole job.

A stump is not the only thing a tree leaves under the lawn. Roots run out from it, and roots are a separate service on the business's list, tree root removal. When you call, describe the spot.

Why take a stump out instead of leaving it to rot?

A stump does not go away on its own, at least not for years. Until it does, it sits where you mow and where you walk, and it is the right height to catch a foot. Rotting wood can also draw insects, and some stumps send up new shoots from the base.

A stump also takes up the spot you may want for something else: a new tree, a flower bed, a patio or a clear strip along the fence. Taking it out is how that spot comes back to you.

How is stump removal different from stump grinding?

Both are stump jobs, and both are on the business's list as services of their own. Stump removal is the job of getting the stump out of your yard. Stump grinding is the job of grinding the stump down, and it has its own page. Because the two are listed separately, say which one you are asking about when you call.

Roots are listed separately too, as tree root removal. A call about a stump that also mentions roots is a call about two services, so mention both if both matter to you.

Will you remove a stump when it's raining?

No. They don't take jobs in the rain, and a stump is no exception, even when it blocks something you want to use.

The one rain-day exception is an emergency call to clear branches that have fallen on a house or a car. It covers those branches and nothing else, so a stump has no claim on it. If branches are on your roof or your car right now, the emergency tree service page is the better place to start, since that is a different job from a leftover stump.

How does a stump removal job go from the first call?

A call or text starts it. You pick a day and an hour for the estimate, and they come out to look at the stump. When the work is done, you walk the yard with them and look at the result together. The invoice follows that walk-through, and then the job is finished.

The guarantee on this job is clean, safe work. If something on your property gets damaged along the way, they promise to fix it as soon as possible.

Same day sometimes. That is the owner's wording for it, and it is never a promise, so ask when you call.

How much does tree stump removal cost?

Tree stump removal has a minimum of $500. Call or text (626) 493-7629 to set up the estimate. The quote itself costs you nothing.

Once you have a number, it stays the same through the whole job. The owner's promise is a simple one: the price quoted is the price you pay. The $500 minimum is the only figure to plan around.

Customers ask whether the job can be done cheaper. The answer is that $500 is the floor and there are no discounts below it. What you get in return is a number you can plan around before anyone starts. You can pay in cash, by check or card, or with Zelle.

Do you remove stumps outside Arcadia?

Yes. They're based in Arcadia, in Los Angeles County, and serve the whole San Gabriel Valley. They'll travel up to 45 miles for a job, so a stump in Altadena or West Covina is within reach. The page of every town they cover shows where else the work goes.

The owner works around Pasadena, La Cañada and La Crescenta, and near BMO Stadium, Pasadena City College and the San Gabriel Mission, so those parts of the valley are familiar ground. If you can't tell whether your street is covered, call and ask.
