Appointment was arranged promptly and Dave got rid of all the hedge roots with ease and tidied up. Very reasonable price and saved us a lot of back breaking work. Wouldn’t hesitate to recommend .

Excellent job from Tony

Tony from Stumpbusters has just done a lovely job removing a full row of stumps where i had a row of conifers. He was really polite and respected my property and even put up protective screens round his machinery while he worked to protect my neighbours greenhouse. My garden is quite challenging as the area is split into levels with steps up to each level and if i'm honest i didn't think he'd manage it, but he did. Great work Tony!!

AVOID

AVOID. Paid £500 for stumps and roots to be REMOVED then our landscape gardener started our garden to find the stumps had not been removed. Called Dave back at stump busters who then said it would be another £250 charge for the size of it which I stupidly paid again and the stump is still there after removing all the bark. £750 for stump to be removed that is still there. This man also is avoiding paying tax by asking for the £750 as a cash payment. Was very rude on the phone when I explained that me and my partner have paid twice now and the stumps as still there. So unprofessional AVOID AT ALL COSTS

I highly recommend Stump Busters Lincolnshire

I highly recommend Stump Busters Lincolnshire. Dave was friendly, reliable, punctual and an absolute pleasure to deal with from start to finish. He gave a very fair price, turned up to me in Lincoln when he said he would, and got straight on with the job with no fuss at all.

What really impressed me was his can-do attitude – nothing seemed too much trouble, and he was genuinely helpful throughout. You can tell he knows exactly what he’s doing. He has the right machinery for different sizes of stump, so whether it’s a smaller awkward stump or a large established one, he has the equipment to deal with it properly and efficiently.

The work was carried out quickly, safely and left tidy afterwards, which was much appreciated. If you’ve got an old stump causing hassle, don’t waste time struggling with it yourself, just give Dave at Stump Busters Lincs a call. Excellent service, great value, and a top bloke to deal with. Highly recommended.

Not responding to chases call and messages

Engaged local contact and sent photos and details and agreed price, but after several chases to agree a date for work to be done, i wasn't getting any responses. i later found a company who could do next day for same cost. Will not use them again as they were recommended by brother in law who uses them all the time

Stumps removed - Stumpbusters East London & Essex

Messaged explaining our requirements and Rastan came back to us within a day. Sent photos as stumps were close to a wall and, unlike another company, saw it as no problem. Quoted fair price and arranged visit. He called to advise ETA in advance and arrived on time. Very efficient, friendly whilst being professional and cleared up well after himself. Would definitely recommend!

Highly recommended Stump Buster David!

David (Stumpbusters East Anglia South) has just completed removal of more than 20 old conifer stumps. We couldn’t be more pleased - his work is superb. Careful to limit the mess and good at clearing up afterwards. It feels like our small garden is half as big again. Recommended by our tree surgeon LumberJack and we can see why. Very reasonably priced. And such a nice man!

Rob - South Yorkshire StumpBusters

Rob Baker in South Yorkshire did a fantastic job grinding out two leylandi stumps. He was tidy, professional, polite, on time and flexed the appointment time on the day to meet our needs.
Would definitely recommend and use again.

Avoid if you don’t want to upset your neighbours.

Neighbours were having work done. Stumpbusters van parks across our driveway and ‘Robin’ proceeds to do maintenance on his little machine loudly next to it. When I asked him if he realised he was blocking my driveway as a family member was due back any time, he laughed at me and then swore, called me names and told me how horrible my house looked. He was a thoroughly nasty and aggressive thug. My neighbour was mortified and very apologetic, but obviously it wasn’t her fault. All I expected was an acknowledgment from this unpleasant man who was invading my space that he would be considerate. Despite his negative assessment of my property, I have a small wooded area full of trees that are in need of attention, which a professional might have considered a business opportunity rather than behaving like an abusive child.

Unreliable & Disrespectful

We called for our free quote and the guy promised to visit us on Tuesday morning. We re-arranged our schedule and waited..and waited. We received no call regarding their 'no show'. How can a firm give a franchise to persons who are wholly unreliable and disrespectful to customers? We found an alternative without any problem. Lincolnshire.

Mike promptly came to remove my tree stump and it was ground up in a short time. The old stump area was left clean and tidy. I highly recommend his service if one needs to remove tree stumps with a reasonable price and excellent care.

ROB turned up bang on time the stump…

ROB turned up bang on time the stump was in a real problem area therefore a machine could not be used. But no worries Rob was not deterred and he totally removed the stump for a very good price.
An excellent service provided I would not hesitate to use again
Thank you Stump Busters
