Oak (Quercus sp) – 35-40 feet tall x 14 inch trunk

Cut down, cut stump as low as possible, dispose of debris.

Front street tree.

REBAR LOCATING – Trees in some sections of Carolina Preserve were planted with steel rebar instead of wooden stakes. I must locate using a metal detector and remove any rebar before stump grinding. It is extremely dangerous to grind a stump without removing rebar first.

FOUND REBAR charged @ $10-$20/piece. Trees typically have 3 pieces, but some have less or none where someone removed it already.

TOTAL (typical): $0-$60 PER TREE

*THERE IS NO CHARGE IF NO REBAR IS FOUND*. Assuming 3 pieces found.

STUMP GRINDING (estimated until after 811 call and inspection work below completed)

I will need to call 811 to confirm utility line locations. Grind entire mound area. Irrigation present in the front lawn, but not within grinding area.

– Also, grind 5 large surface roots where surfacing above the lawn near the stump.

—– [General Stump Grinding Information Below] —– 

811 locates water and sewer to the curb, electrical, gas, and telecom to the house. Water and sewer generally go straight from the curb location to the house. If there is a question about water and sewer location the customer must waive my liability for these lines.

811 does not mark irrigation systems, low voltage wiring (dog invisible fences, lighting, security, etc.) and other underground systems. Per my waiver, I cannot take responsibility for these unless notified as to their existence and location.

OAK GRINDINGS – Remove stump grindings and dispose to allow for replanting in same spot. Replace with soil as needed. I expect 1/2 cubic yard of debris to be removed.

TREE REPLACEMENT – HOA size tree from the HOA list. Fall planting schedule, approximately September.

$855 – Bloodgood Japanese Maple preferred. Typically this requires a 25-gallon container tree. Price is based on recent plantings of the same tree, but prices may increase slightly at the nursery by the fall. Nursery inventories come and go, so typically I start to look for a good tree about 2-4 weeks ahead of planting and tag one as soon as I can find one. Nursery inventories are on the low side recently due to large amounts of construction in the area.

Tree price includes tree, tree planting, and a 1-year standard warranty.

Other trees on HOA typically $450-$550 range in HOA size (Red Maple, Trident Maple, Crapemyrtle, Cherry), Carpinus $550-$600. I don’t recommend planting Dogwoods in full sun locations. Other trees on list not available or not recommended.
