Flatirons Stump Removal
Flatirons Stump Removal is a stump removal service based in Westminster, Colorado and founded in 2013. Owner and operator Jerry Burr is a Colorado native, and the company describes itself as one of the more established independent stump companies in the Denver and Boulder area, with over 15,000 stumps removed. The work covers tree stumps, hedge and bush stumps, and surface roots, using a compact Vermeer SC362 grinder whose light weight reduces the risk of lawn damage, plus a hand held Alpine Magnum grinder for stumps that are hard to reach. With Standard Service the residual mulch is piled for the property owner to reincorporate into the landscape, and with Complete Service the excess is hauled away. The grinder can also dig a planting hole when a replacement tree is going in. Flatirons does not remove or trim trees and refers that work to partner companies, so stumps are all it does. Every job includes the State of Colorado required utility locate and a written service agreement, the company is fully insured with proof of insurance provided upon request, and stump removal carries an unconditional guarantee. Estimates are free, and the fastest way to get one is to text a picture of your stump to (303) 578-0822.

FAQs
Do you remove or trim trees?
No. Flatirons Stump Removal states it is a stump specialist only. The site points to its Partners page for tree removal, pruning and trimming, deep root watering, disease treatments, emergency tree services, pesticide application and tree replanting.
How much does stump removal cost?
The site lists a $189 minimum charge, currently $169 with a $20 discount, covering one stump up to 18 inches. Most stumps are priced at $9 per inch. Stumps over 36 inches may increase by $1 per inch and stumps over 5 feet cost more. Difficult access, difficult surrounding landscape and tall stumps can also add to the price.
How do I get an estimate?
Estimates are free. Text a picture of your stump to (303) 578-0822 or email FlatironsStumps@gmail.com. Include a photo looking down on the stump with a tape measure across the diameter, a second photo standing back to show the surroundings, whether the stump is in the front, back or side yard, your plans for the spot, and your city.
Is a utility locate included?
Yes. All jobs include the State of Colorado required utility locate along with a written service agreement. The site notes that calling 811 before stump removal is Colorado state law.
What happens to the mulch and the hole?
Stumps are removed to about 8 to 10 inches below grade, which is usually enough to take out the entire root ball, and the void is filled, packed and mounded slightly above ground level to allow for settling. With Standard Service the remaining mulch is piled for the property owner. With Complete Service it is hauled away for $4 per inch or less on most stumps, arranged before work begins.
Are you insured?
Yes. Flatirons Stump Removal states it is fully insured, and a copy of the insurance is provided upon request.
Can you prepare a hole for a replacement tree?
Yes. For an additional $65 with any stump removal, the grinder leaves a 45 inch diameter by 15 inch deep hole of soft, freshly tilled earth wherever you mark it, which avoids cutting through roots by hand.
What payment methods do you accept?
Major credit cards, Venmo and check are accepted.
