Tree Trimming & Removal details, pricing & FAQsStump Grinding
We grind stumps 6–12 inches below grade so the ground can be seeded, sodded, or planted over. Stumps left from someone else's removal are welcome — it does not have to be a tree we took down.

Tree Service FAQs
Are estimates really free?
Yes. Estimates are always free and carry no obligation. We look at the actual tree or stump, explain what the work involves, and give you a firm price before anything starts.
Do you haul away the debris?
Yes. Every removal, trimming, and leaf-removal job includes cleanup and hauling unless you ask us to leave the wood cut for firewood or leave the grindings as mulch — plenty of people do, and it costs you less.
Do I need a permit to have a tree removed?
Ohio has no statewide permit for removing a tree on your own private property — the rules are set municipality by municipality, and many Summit County communities regulate only trees in the street right-of-way or tree lawn. Check with your own city or township before scheduling, and see our FAQ for the details.
How soon can you come out?
As a local Summit County crew we can usually get an estimate scheduled within a few days. Storm damage and hazardous trees get priority — call (234) 288-4032 for current availability.
Are you insured?
Yes, Portage Lakes Stumps is fully insured. Tree work puts heavy weight over your house, fence, and cars, so hiring an uninsured crew shifts that risk onto your homeowner's policy. Ask any company you call — including us — to confirm coverage before work begins.
