From emergency removals to year-round maintenance — and yes, still the best stump grinding around.
Tree Removal
Hazardous, dead, or too close to the house — removed safely, without damaging what's around it.
Tree Trimming & Pruning
Proper crown reduction and thinning. We rarely ever top a tree — and we'll tell you why.
Stump Grinding & Removal
The service we built our name on, ground down clean and cleared away.
Emergency Tree Service
Storm damage and urgent hazards. Our line is answered 24/7 by a real person.
Fertilization & Tree Health
Deep-root feeding and health care, because the goal isn't always removal. Sometimes the right call is saving the tree.
Crane-Assisted Work
Tight access, work over structures, nowhere for a tree to fall. We have the reach.
Forestry Mulching & Land Clearing
Lots, acreage and overgrowth cleared and left usable.
Storm Damage Response
Cleanup, hauling and honest hazard assessment after the weather moves through.
Snow Removal & Ice Management
Year-round property care — the same trucks and crews, all four seasons.
20 Years of Getting It Right the First Time
ISA Certified Arborist On Staff
Certification by the International Society of Arboriculture means decisions about your trees are made by someone trained to assess tree health, structure and risk — not just someone with a chainsaw.
Fully Insured
Tree work carries real risk. We carry full insurance so that risk never lands on you or your property — ask us for a certificate any time.
Equipment That Leaves Your Property Intact
High-tech equipment with a small footprint. We protect your remaining trees, your landscaping and your structures while we work.
Residential & Commercial
Single-family homes to HOAs, property managers, schools and commercial sites. The same standard either way.

Certified, Insured, Accountable
ISA Certified Arborist on staff and fully insured — the two things worth checking before anyone puts a saw in your tree. We're happy to show proof of both before work begins.
The Stumps By Dan Tree Care Membership
Most tree emergencies were preventable. Monthly inspections find the problem while it's still a small one.
We Inspect Monthly
A walk of your property every month by people who know what a failing tree looks like.
You Get A Record
Findings documented, so you can see your property's tree health over time.
Problems Surface Early
A leaning trunk or dying crown caught now — not after it lands on something.
You Decide What's Next
If work is needed we quote it. No pressure, no obligation.

What Hickory Says About Us
“We had a great experience with Stumps by Dan. They were so patient and accommodating while we worked on getting a stump removed from my mother's property. They were very understanding and easy to work with, and we really appreciate that. Would definitely recommend them!”
“This was a major job involving trimming large oaks, removing 3 large oaks as they were diseased and would likely damage our home if they ever fell. With a certified arborist on staff, I was confident that removal was the best option. Despite considerable rain, they were able to complete the project with minimal impact to the lawn due to the wide range of equipment they own… They were able to provide a quote promptly and the final invoice matched the quote. I recommend Stumps By Dan highly and would not hesitate to use them again!”
“We have mature trees on our property and want to keep them safe and healthy. Dan and his crew do just that… both are very knowledgeable about how to keep the trees healthy while also protecting us and our property. I never feel they are overselling… The crew is always on task and makes sure that I am satisfied with the job before leaving. They always pick up any tree debris… They have built a great reputation and continue to live up to it.”
