About Us

Stump Munchers is the leading tree stump removal company in the 5 county Philadelphia area. We’ve been grinding tree stumps since 1982. Our commitment to meeting the needs of our customers with timely and excellent service, has made us the fastest growing tree stump grinding company in the region.

Stump Munchers is the brain child of Daniel Murphy, an ISA certified arborist, and recognized author and educator in the tree care industry. When Hurricane Isabel slammed into Virginia and became the costliest and deadliest storm of 2003, Daniel put his tree service, of 21 years, on hold to go down and help out. The initial clean up of downed trees left countless thousands of tree stumps in the wake of the storm. Daniel ground more tree stumps in the next four months than most arborists grind in a lifetime and learned some valuable lessons and techniques along the way.

After the hurricane clean up, Daniel returned to Murphy’s Tree Service, with a new mission, to build Stump Munchers into the leading stump removal company in the region. The only way to achieve that was to give great customer service. Stump Munchers has the commitment, know-how, and equipment to provide great service. Here’s how we do it.

Stump Munchers uses only the best tree stump grinding equipment money can buy. The extra initial cost pays for itself over and over again in increased productivity and time, and energy savings. We are also committed to doing great clean ups on our jobs, and for that we use the best clean up tools on the market. This efficiency allows Stump Munchers to provide excellent service that is timely and affordable on any size job.

After nearly 30 years in tree care, we know that the way to build a thriving business is to give excellent service to our customers. MEET THE CUSTUMERS’ NEEDS, whatever they are, and do a great job with a good clean up at a fair price, and the phone will ring. Call and we’ll show you what we mean. Here’s what happens when you call 1-800-9-STUMPS (1-800-978-8677).

When you call, we almost always pick up the phone. We’ll give you a price right over the phone. All we need is the exact number of stumps and their measurements, and your address and phone number, and we can give you a price right on the spot. For info on how to measure a stump click here. We like to provide timely service, especially when you need the stump removed quickly. If you need immediate service and we don’t answer the phone, just try back in a little while and we’ll most likely answer.

We’ll come out and grind the stump to the depth you desire, and backfill all the grindings into the hole. We’ll set up tarps to protect the house and other sensitive areas from getting blasted with dirt and flying chips, and make sure the lawn, driveway, patio, walks etc.. are left spotless. Our work is completely guaranteed. We also can remove the grindings and backfill the hole with topsoil and plant grass. One call gets the job done right, because you are calling Stump Munchers, the local stump grinding and removal experts.

Thank you and we look forward to taking care of all your stump grinding needs.
