What we do

Tree work, done right the first time

From a single hazard limb to full lot clearing and storm clean-ups — one crew, the right equipment, and many, many years of experience.

Stump Grinding

Our stump grinder wears away at the stump until it’s nothing more than sawdust — self-propelled, remote-controlled, and it fits through a 36″ fence gate to go almost anywhere.

Tree Removal

A careful plan for every take-down: we clean the tree of major branches for a controlled fall, then cut, size and remove it — cleanly, safely, quickly.

Tree Trimming & Pruning

Trimming keeps a tree safe near property and people, and prolongs its life by removing the dead, weak, diseased or pest-infested parts before they cause harm.

The equipment

105 feet of reach

Home of THE TALLEST bucket truck in CNY at 105 feet. Big enough for the tallest jobs, nimble enough to protect your lawn — with heavy-duty ground mats down to prevent tire ruts.

There are 3 bucket trucks in our fleet including the tallest truck in CNY. Yes, we still climb trees — but the bucket truck is safer and faster. Safety is a priority at Stumpbusters.

105′

Tallest bucket truck

The tallest in CNY — reaches the jobs ladders can’t.

36″

Self-propelled grinder

Remote-controlled, fits through a 36″ fence gate — goes almost anywhere.

18″

Wood chippers

Our chippers eat 18″ diameter branches to process trees quickly.

Great crews

Best saws, best ropes, and many, many years of experience.

“I had Stump Busters remove a few huge trees in April of 2025… After seeing how hard they worked, all day long, in good and bad weather, I was extremely satisfied. They were also friendly, knowledgeable and dependable… they are the only company I will use if I ever have to take down more trees.”

“Owner Dave answered the call that a large branch was broken but hanging dangerously close to my house/yard. His experience paid off as he was able to bring down the branch by hooking a rope over it and pulling it down. No saw needed and Dave was gone in 10 minutes.”

“Stumpbusters did a fantastic job with the tree trimming needed around our power lines and over the house! The work was done within a week of my call, they did an excellent job with yard cleanup, and we thought the price was reasonable — we would use their services again!”
