For emergencies, call directly: (262) 404-2425. Same-day response when our schedule allows for storm-fallen stumps blocking driveways, walkways, or recovery work. Standard pricing during business hours; after-hours dispatch carries a $100–$200 priority fee quoted upfront.

Wisconsin storms — particularly summer thunderstorms and winter ice events — bring trees down with regularity. Lake Country's mature lakefront willows, cottonwoods, and silver maples are especially vulnerable. After the immediate cleanup of branches and the trunk, the stump is often left in a spot that's still blocking something: a driveway, a walkway, a fence repair, or a contractor's access path. That's when we get called.

What counts as an emergency

  1. Storm-fallen tree stumps blocking access. Driveways, walkways, garage entries — anything that has to be cleared today.
  2. Safety hazards for vulnerable residents. Elderly neighbors, kids, mobility-impaired family members.
  3. Insurance or contractor deadlines. Tree fell on a structure; the insurance adjuster is coming Tuesday and the stump has to be out of the way.
  4. Emergency vehicle access. The stump is blocking ambulance, fire, or utility access.

What we can typically do same-day

During business hours (Mon-Sat 7am-7pm), we can usually re-route a crew within 2-4 hours of the call. After-hours and Sundays, response time depends on the on-call grinder's location. We're honest about what's actually possible — if we can't make it, we'll tell you and recommend a fallback.

Pricing for emergency response

The grinding work itself is the same $3–$4 per inch as any other job. The added cost is dispatch:

WhenPriority fee
Same-day during business hours (Mon-Sat 7am-7pm)None — standard pricing, schedule permitting
After-hours weekday (after 7pm)$100 priority fee + standard grinding
Saturday after 7pm or Sunday$200 priority fee + standard grinding
Major storm event triggering county-wide responseQuoted at time of dispatch

We quote the priority fee before dispatching so there are no surprises.

Common questions about emergency service

Do you offer same-day stump grinding for emergencies?

Yes, when our schedule allows. Storm-fallen tree stumps blocking driveways, walkways, or recovery work are our highest priority. Call (262) 404-2425 directly for emergency response — don't use the form.

What counts as a stump emergency?

Storm-fallen trees with stumps blocking driveways, walkways, or emergency vehicle access; stumps creating immediate safety hazards (especially for elderly residents or kids); and stumps preventing post-storm cleanup or insurance work that's on a deadline.

Is emergency service more expensive?

Same per-inch pricing during business hours. After-hours or weekend emergency response carries a $100–$200 priority fee depending on timing. We'll quote it upfront before we dispatch.
