Flatirons Stump Removal

What Flatirons Stump Removal does

Flatirons Stump Removal is a privately held, owner-operated stump grinding and removal service founded in 2013 by Jerry Burr and headquartered in Westminster, Colorado. The company specializes exclusively in stump removal, distinguishing itself from full-service tree companies, and serves residential homeowners plus a small set of recurring tree-care trade partners across the northwest Denver/Boulder metropolitan area. The core technology stack is a Vermeer SC362 compact stump grinder (with an Alpine Magnum hand-held unit for hard-to-reach stumps), a two-pass grinding system that separates wood chips from soil in the first pass and backfills in the second, and steel-framed safety screens for debris containment; every job also includes a Colorado 811 utility locate prior to work. Pricing is unit-based at $9/inch with a $169 minimum for stumps up to 18 inches in diameter, plus a Complete Service tier that adds $4/inch for mulch haul-away and a $65 tree-replanting hole add-on. The go-to-market is direct-to-consumer: customers text or call 303-578-0822 (and may text a photo for a free quote), free written estimates are provided, and roughly 80% of jobs are scheduled the same day or next day, with a network of 13 ISA-certified tree-care partners providing steady referral flow.
