Who we are
About Portage Lakes Stumps
Portage Lakes Stumps is a family-run, fully insured tree service in Portage Lakes, Ohio, serving all of Summit County. We're the crew that shows up, does the work carefully, and cleans up before we leave.
Our Story
Portage Lakes Stumps was founded on a simple idea: homeowners deserve honest, careful tree work without the runaround. We're a family-run, owner-operated crew based right here in the Portage Lakes community, and we treat every property like it's our own.
From a single overgrown limb to a full removal and stump grinding, we show up on time, do the job safely, and clean up before we leave. No high-pressure sales, no surprise fees — just straightforward work and a fair, free estimate.
Why We Publish Prices and Permit Rules
Most tree companies in Summit County won't tell you what anything costs until they're standing in your yard, and none of them will explain when Ohio actually requires a permit. We think that's backwards. If you understand what drives the price of a removal and what your municipality does and doesn't regulate, you can tell a fair quote from a bad one — including ours.
So we publish a cost guide with real local ranges, and aFAQ that cites the actual Ohio Revised Code rather than paraphrasing it. When we write about tree law or pests, we link the primary source and date-stamp when we last checked it. If something on this site is out of date or wrong, call and tell us.
What We Value
- Safety first. Careful, methodical work that protects your home and family.
- Respect for your property. We haul away debris and leave the site clean.
- Fair & free estimates. Know the price before we start — always.
- Honest recommendations. If a tree just needs a trim, we'll say so rather than sell you a removal.
- Local accountability. We live and work in the communities we serve.
What We Do
- Tree Trimming & Removal — Safe removal of dead, damaged, or overgrown trees, plus routine trimming to keep your yard healthy and tidy.
- Stump Grinding — Grind unsightly stumps 6–12 inches below grade so you can reclaim your yard, replant, or lay new sod.
- Leaf Removal — Seasonal leaf cleanup that leaves your lawn clear, healthy, and ready for winter.
