Stump Grinding – Your Local Verde Valley and Sedona Tree Service Company

What is stump grinding?

When a tree has been cut down, a stump is often left behind. Redundant tree stumps can be both unsightly and dangerous. In addition the tree’s remaining root system can be removing nourishment from the immediate ground and with regenerative species they will continue to expand.

Improve Safety and Beauty of Yard.

Once a tree stump has been ground down, it will not only make your lawn more attractive, but it will also free up space for you to plant other plants, or even to replant a new tree.

Tree stump grinding is a common service after a tree has been removed. Arborist Standards Tree Care utilizes a full hydraulic stump grinder for the largest of stumps. We aim to protect your property during this process and as always carry out this service safely. We have vast experience and knowledge in tree stump grinding, and our tree service pros would be happy to answer any questions you may have!

Stump grinding shavings are great for gardens, compost, and even help keep down weeds. We would be happy to donate them back to your yard or we can haul away as well. Sometimes a tree is so old and can have irrigation wrapped around the root system, before grinding a stump we like to let homeowners know this irrigation could be damaged during the process.

No matter if you wish to enhance the value of your property or simply to make it safer, we have the knowledge and equipment to make it happen. Call Arborist Standards Tree Care and ask about stump grinding today at (928) 592-3477.

We called around and got several quotes for stump removal. Arborist Standards Tree Care was the most reasonable out of the bunch. From our first contact with Lindsay on the phone to the actual work done by Joshua we were extremely impressed. He came out and removed three batches of stumps in our front yard. Very professional, very friendly, very conscientious in the work provided. We would highly recommend this company to anyone and everyone.

We couldn’t be happier with the service provided by Arborist Standards. The on-site crew—Josh, Cooper, Adam, Scott, Ben, Fabian, Justin and Darren—transformed two residential properties (one quite extensive) into manicured, park-like settings in just a few days. Scheduling, billing and communications were a breeze and a pleasure with Lindsay. The crew performed extensive tree removal, topping, trimming, mistletoe removal, pruning, cleanup, etc., with precision and environmental sensitivity. Their expert knowledge, practical skills, organization, state-of-the-art equipment, positive attitudes and honest work ethics impressed us to no end. We’re very happy and appreciative to have such a good outfit in the area. The trees are healthier and happy too!

Awesome crew! Definitely had everything it took to get large rotten trees down- SAFELY. One of the two was rotten through 90% of the core, leaning to the street. They got it down without incident. Thorough cleanup after it was all said and done as well

I needed to create a defendable space around my house for fire safety and chose Arborist Standards based on reviews and a project they did for the neighbors. I can't say enough good things about this company. Josh, Ben and Cooper came out to do the work along with their team of hard workers were very professional. They were on time and did a fantastic job. They don't just do tree work but all sorts of yard maintenance including brush removal and even gravel work. This is a very impressive company that I highly recommend!!

Josh and Beng at Arborist Standards Tree Care were absolutely awesome to work with. We used them to remove a couple trees at out complex and they came right out and took care of the issue. They are professional and reliable. I highly recommend this company. I would give 10 stars if I could. I asked for a couple pieces of the tree to use as a flower pot stand, so they trimmed those pieces, and even put them inside my patio. 100% great customer service!

My husband and I met the owner Josh, and reviewed the work to be done. From first contact to the completed job, it was done in one week. Very professional and reasonable. We will use them again and recommend them to our friends.

Josh and his team showed up on time, well equipped and did a nice job! They thinned and trimmed 6 trees, two are huge Mulberry trees. And they cleaned up everything, not even any sawdust left behind. Great Job.

This is definitely the tree care service to hire if you have a large tree that needs cut down and hauled away. Josh and his crew were professional, courteous, and knowledgeable. Using a bucket truck and chipper, they had my fifty-foot high, four foot at the stump weeping willow down and chipped in less than three hours. They left my property cleaner than it was before they arrived. Great job guys!!!

Josh and his team are knowledgeable, polite, easy to work with and professional. The crew showed up on schedule for the project. They removed large white gravel from our front yard and double-wide driveway to the detached garage at the end of our lot. They are hard workers and did a great job with the cleanup. We now have small red rock that matches the trim on the house and garage. The first person to give us a compliment said how much it brightened up the property. We are extremely pleased with the end result and it looks so professional. They also installed a flagstone walkway from the house to the street which makes it easy to get the trash/recycle containers to the street plus it stands out against the red rock and looks beautiful. They have also done tree work at this property for 6 years and are knowledgeable and a pleasure to work with. I will certainly continue to use Josh and his services and would recommend him to anybody without hesitation. Great job! Thank you.

The crew showed up on schedule and the 4 guys where very professional. We had a huge Sycamore over a ditch, and we set things up when the ditch had dried out for maintenance. They climbed up the tree and began trimming. The cuts and sealant used should help the overall health of the tree. The guys communicated with us to see if there was any additional cuts that we wanted from our perspective on the ground. The clean up was perfect, everything looked great. We highly recommend The Arborist.

Josh's team was professional and thoughtful. Josh shared wiith his team our desires and we all discussed the job prior to starting. Dead tree removal was basic but trees that needed to be pruned for optomin allowance of views was most important to us. Josh and team were very receptive to our needs. We are extremely happy how the job turned out. Clean up went smoothly and we were left with our wonderful views and healthy trees.

Josh from Arborists Tree Standards was very professional, personable, and knowledgable. He and his crew did a beautiful job cleaning up and sculpting my grove of mesquites. Highly recommended.

I read so many reviews about how great they were. I thought it couldn't be that great a company. I was wrong. They did a great job. Very professional & with the proper equipment my trees disappeared and property cleaned up.

This is the second time I have dealt with Josh, the first at my home, and this time at my church. Josh gave us an estimate in Feb. for a tree removal at our church. We didn't call back to schedule the job until June, but he still honored the original estimate. Got the large tree down safely and completely without any damage to the church property. Very professional to deal with and very courteous and pleasant to talk to.

The entire business from the office to the hard working crew are professional, tidy and thorough. Thank you for a tremendous job.

Paul Comstock

Josh and crew did an outstanding job working non-stop for three full days removing some trees from our property. They were extremely careful working so close to our house and very thorough in cleaning up afterwards. We couldn't be happier with the results and highly recommend their services to anyone needing clean-up, maintenance or removal.

Josh arrived on time for the estimate. The crew arrived on time for the job. A crew of 4 worked without interruption from 8am to 5:30 pm. Josh and Lindsay were very easy to work with. I will use them again. Jim K.

Gerry Pauli

This company is highly recommend by me. I am a retired contractor that has been here for 45 years and had almost lost hope in people that keep their word. He showed up for the estimate when he said he would and called when it was raining to reschedule. They showed up when they said and did a fabulous job. Everything we talked about during the estimate meeting was done and much more. His men are very curtious and hard working. There was a review of him that complained and gave him a #1. (Must have woke up on the wrong side of the bed). Recommend him highly!

Bob Reynolds

16:55 02 Feb 20

They came out to give estimate a day late, and then never emailed back with the estimate. Great you are so busy, but I’ll never try calling you again for estimate. Def. lost my business. Never even tried To reach me

Arborist removed a Photina that overgrew too close to the side of the house. The crew was efficent and courteous. Josh and his wife, both communitive and friendly with a very competitive fair price. A-1 service!

Heather Curbello

22:39 27 Aug 19

We recently had Arborist Standards remove two very large Italian Cypress trees from the from side area of our home along with stump grinding. Their prices were extremely reasonable, Josh and Lindsey were fabulous! They are the friendliest people and most responsive with questions I had overall about the work being done. I had no hesitations having them to the work. They did a wonderful job. Would recommend them anytime!

J Rudi

22:58 12 Aug 19

Josh and his crew were timely, careful of the house, efficient. Couldn't ask for better service.

Dan Meyers

22:23 09 Jul 19

I had Josh and crew take out a large pine tree a year ago, and when Josh came to look at the tree, I liked the guy instantly. Had some more trees this year to deal with, and it never entered my mind that I would call anyone else. Great people. Great business.

Hired Arborist Standard tree care to have two trees removed that where close to my house. Josh came and gave me a free estimate/time-frame. Very knowledgeable and pleasant to talk too. He and his crew Jeff and Sammy where right on time and where gone in a few hours. Very clean, safe and honest/ trustworthy. I would recommend Arborist Standards Tree care to anybody who needs a tree removal. Also look at their website for more services offered. Thank you for a job well done!!!!

I'm so glad we found this business! We had several trees that were either completely dead, or darn close to it, and some others had dead limbs. I finally got approval (we have new owners, YAY!) to have them dealt with. Josh promptly arrived to assess and bid the job. In this area, it's hard to even get someone to respond to a message, much less SHOW UP. I was afraid they would be expensive for some reason, but because they have a chipper, they bid less than the one other company that bid on it, because that guy was also charging for the trips to the landfill, and I do understand that he shouldn't have to foot the bill for those trips, but it was much more sensible to go with someone who would be able to make less trips to a landfill. The bid was 300 less, they have top-notch reviews and the work was excellent. Lindsay was prompt on getting the paperwork I needed to me, the invoice, and lastly, the receipt. Professional, friendly, excellent work, and fast, too! Another plus for me is that they speak English. I am NOT racist, but I had a terrible time trying to communicate with the other guy. He was nice, but his bid was handwritten and part of it didn't even make sense to me. We will definitely use Arborist Standards Tree Care in the future, and I highly recommend them!

Josh is very knowledgeable and helpful. The crew arrived on time and did an excellent job of trimming our huge Arizona Cypress. They were fast, thorough and cleaned up the yard completely. We felt that his price was very reasonable. Highly recommend!

Jean Luc Lembert

19:03 06 Mar 19

Josh and his team are very polite, easy to work with and very good professional. They know to listen and they are also very good a making recommendations. As an example, we have a beautify 40 feet Deodar tree which has not been trimmed for years, so out of shape and was blocking our view. Josh did a fantastic job to trim it, and the Deodar looks now a real Deodar and we have now a beautiful view of the Rocks! He also did a fantastic work to trimmed our four 30 foot Cypress and other trees. They also did a very good cleaning job, so you even do not know they were here. They were very efficient and also important, his price was very competitive. I will certainly continue to use his services and would recommend him to anybody without hesitation. For information, I am leaving in the Village of Oak Creak.

Kay Nye

02:00 08 Feb 19

We had a 40’ tree removed in Lake Montezuma recently. The crew arrived on time and they were efficient in safely removing the tree that was leaning over our house. We are very pleased with the tree removal and cleanup afterwards. I would highly recommend them. Great job guys!

22:02 30 Aug 18

One of the best overall experiences with a company I've ever had! Top notch communication, performance, timeliness, professionalism and courtesy. Fantastic job with tree removal/trimming. Josh and his entire crew were great.

Jennifer Theroux

13:00 10 Aug 18

Josh, Lindsay, and Josh's on-site team were friendly and professional. During the estimate, Josh made smart suggestions that I hadn't considered (wildfire defensibility is not a consideration in the place we'd moved from one month before). Their price was competitive, they arrived as scheduled, and left my property very clean. I would highly recommend Arborist Standards Tree Care.

Ciara Grey

15:42 26 Jul 18

These guys are fantastic! They gave me an estimate that was fair and reasonable. They showed up on time and were ready to work. They got a very large tree down safely and fast. Very friendly and professional. They gave me advice about what to do if any shoots grew out. I will be letying people know these are the guys to call for tree service. I also will call them for other trees on my property. Excellent experience! Not enough stars to rate adequately!

Catherine Bongiorno

23:12 28 Jun 18

Josh and his crew did great work removing a dying tree from my property and limbing another one. They were fast, efficient and friendly, and did a fantastic job with the clean-up. I highly recommend this company.

17:53 12 Apr 18

Awesome Team Work! Professionals from beginning to the very end of the project! I highly recommend Josh and the crew. I really appreciate that Josh really listens to what the customer says and then follows through with perfect completion. Thank you Arborist Standards Tree Care!!! Lisa

Entire experience was great; scheduling, price, work performed, and the crew were all exceptional. Showed up promptly and got right to work. Did an excellent job removing two trees from my property, cleaned everything up, and left it nicer than before they arrived. Will definitely recommend/ use again! Thanks!

Richard Goepfrich

02:04 06 Apr 18

Price was right, great customer service, professional work, and safe. I just wanted my tree on the ground so I could take care of it from there, but to my surprise it was left in manageable pieces organized and easy for me to deal with. Will definitely seek them out for work in the future.

I recently hired Arborist Standards for Tree Trimming & Mistletoe removal. The owner "Josh " ( & Prime Workers ) was Prompt , friendly & a joy to work with . The crew did quality work at a reasonable price. Small jobs are welcomed. My highest recommendation for a 5 star operation.

Carolyn Blecha

22:46 08 Mar 18

Arrived on time. Wore proper safety equipment including helmets and glasses. Did an excellent job of both pruning and clean up of debris. Highly recommend to anyone needing this type of work done!

Josh and his crew did an incredible job from the moment I reached out for and estimate to the minute they pulled out of the driveway. Josh responded to my call within hours arriving the very next morning to evaluate the job. I received a comprehensive estimate the next morning and scheduled a date for the work before other contractors could arrive to check out the job. Josh's office called and confirmed the time and date and told me what to expect. A whole crew arrived complete with cherry picker and wood chipper and they completed a massive job in a day. The 3 other quotes I received would take 3 times as long and cost almost double what Josh charged. He also took into consideration the other trees and plantings and counseled me on the proper way to remove certain trees without injuring others. No one else had (or shared) that knowledge. Finally, Josh and his crew cleaned up and left the property looking better than when they arrived. With dangerous work like this, I believe its important that the company be insured. I have already recommended Arborist Standards Tree Care to my neighbors and friends and will use them again for my future needs.

K Mill

Great crew very thorough and took the time to get it right for the tree and my needs. Removed a 60 ft poplar, trimmed a fruit tree, a willow tree and a large elm all in a day. Cleaned up after themselves, and were fairly priced. I highly recommend Arborist Standards Tree Care.

Sherry Williams

I called Arborist Standards Tree Service to get an estimate and was greeted by Lindsay who was a delight to talk to. She was professional and sounded like she was truly happy to accommodate my request for the estimate. Josh came out and gave me a very competitive bid and when the time cam to do the work, he and his crew arrived and made fast work of the four trees that had snapped off at the canopies. They brought all four down, cut them into the lengths I asked for, and stacked the logs and cleaned up much more than I had requested which was a very nice surprise. I would highly recommend Josh and his company for any tree service you need and I want to thank both he and Lindsay again for a job very well done. Great work guys!

Josh and his crew from Arborist Standard Tree Care removed a large leaning Arizona Cypress tree and trimmed the tops on an oak, fir and another Arizona Cypress. They were polite, courteous, and finished the job in about 2 hours. They were very cautious to avoid damaging shrubs and plants in the area. They left the yard and street cleaner than before. They were professional and did the work for less than other bids. I highly recommend Josh and his crew. Job well done, thanks, Josh.

We have a large number of trees that I need hazard limbs removed from them along Oak Creek. I tried calling a few other tree trimming business in the Verde Valley and couldn't get anyone to call me back . Arborist Standards called me back right away to schedule a free estimate for the extensive work I needed done. The crew did a great job cutting off all the hazard limbs on our extremely large cottonwood tree and we plan to work with them again later in the year for the additional work we need done.

As a landscape design & build company in Sedona, I had a client with a storm damaged Mesquite. It was a great looking tree that I worked into my design and we hated to see it go, but after thoroughly discussing the options to keeping the tree vs. the likelihood that it would eventually fall over in another big storm, we were able to make our decision thanks to Josh's unbiased and objective assessment. Once my client made the decision Josh and Lindsey performed very professionally, were responsive, timely and did exactly what they said they would do. Thank you Josh and Lindsey.

We had a great experience with Arborist Standards Tree Care! Their estimate was accurate and reasonably priced. We had 4 trees removed, and a number of other trees and shrubs trimmed. The work took just over 3 hours - fast and efficient! We even received some great advice on how to care for our existing trees and fix some of our drainage issues. Friendly, knowledgeable, efficient and a pleasure to work with. We'll definitely recommend and use their service again!

17:15 08 Sep 17

Professional, hard-working, knowledgeable, respectful, and reasonable! In 40 years of home ownership, probably the best crew I have ever hired. Josh and his crew at Arborist Standards are top-notch! They truly work together as a team, mindful of your property and working safely at all times. From the time they arrived, they strategized how to most effectively and efficiently make use of their time. They are tree experts who will guide you through the best practices for caring for your trees. I did my research and it paid off. My trees look amazing! From the time I first called, they were responsive, arrived on time for an estimate, sent the estimate right to me, scheduled and showed up to do the work as planned--professional! I highly recommend Arborist Standards for all of your tree needs.

Lane Hoggatt

23:31 06 Sep 17

They were easy to deal with. They return calls and showed up for the estimate and the job right when they said they would. They trimmed several trees for me in camp Verde. There were no surprises in the bill either. I highly recommend them.

Mark Rankin

20:35 19 Jun 17

I am in the construction industry. In my business, your word, respect for your customers home and property are very important. Josh and his crew ticked all the boxes. I am very impressed and will feel comfortable to recommend him to my friends and customers. Nicely done Josh

David Butler

15:57 15 Jun 17

We were delighted with Arborist Standards from start to finish. The price was competitive, they showed up when they said they would, were very careful with the removal of 2 *large* pines growing close to the house, and the stump removal and clean-up were perfect. And the estimated cost is what we paid--no late surprises. We would certainly use them again!

Ruth Butler

21:21 12 Jun 17

Wonderful service at a very competitive price! Like magic, two 50+-foot-tall pine trees disappeared without a trace.

Josh and his crew were professional, quick and clean. Thank you for your time and efforts. Would definitely hire again.

18:36 05 Apr 17

We had significant damage to our trees due to the microburst. Josh was out there the same day to examine it. He cut down a large, dangerously loose Cottonwood tree the next day! And the price was $100 less than the other service I looked at.

Stephanie Tanler

17:24 25 Jan 17

Outstanding work! Reasonable cost, professional, on time and informative! My yard was left cleaner than when they started the job. This is the company to go with! Highly recommended. Thx Joshua, for a job professionally done. Stephanie T.

I did compare three service provides in the area. It came down to two candidates. One was all price and the other was about quality and knowledge. For me, a $25 difference was a no brainer. Josh walked me through my backyard and pointed out maintenance recommendations that would provide sustained quality, health, and aesthetics. That's the decision part, here's the execution...Josh did exactly what he proposed and the yard and trees look so much better. No more clutter, no more low branches and dead twigs. The best part is that I am confident that Josh provided the appropriate pruning to my trees to ensure they will flourish in the future. I will be using and recommending Arborist Standards Tree Care in the future. Very happy experience. Thanks Josh and Lindsay

Chuy Garcia

15:50 03 Dec 16

Josh and his crew did a great service on my property. They removed two trees for me and the price was the reasonable. I was nervous with having a big tree removed but josh made the experience commforting. And the best part was that they removed the trees and the property looks ten times better and the clean. Up was great they even removed some branches I had on the side of my house without me asking for that. They have gone above and beyond what you would expect from customer service in these days. I would recommend them to anyone who needs tree service . If I ever need service again they are the company I will be contacting.
