PREPARING A COMMERCIAL QUOTE

What we need to quote your site

Send the stump list and site details so Matt can review the work with your property manager or project contact.

  1. Number and measure each stump

    Number the stumps on photos or a marked site plan. Include width across the flared base, height and any roots you’d like addressed. The stump measuring guide shows how to number and measure every stump the same way, and the property manager’s stump-work checklist covers what to gather before you request a quote.

  2. Confirm site access and work hours

    Name your site contact. Show the entrance, gates and parking, along with any work-hour restrictions.

  3. Identify paving, utilities and occupied areas

    Identify irrigation, private lines, paving and occupied areas. Agree on equipment routing and work-area protection.

    Before grinding, remove landscape rocks for at least 3 feet around the outside edge of the stump. Rocks can settle into the soil, so some digging may be needed to remove them. Thorough removal is crucial to prevent flying rocks and damage to the grinder or surrounding property. Heartland may decline projects if rocks have not been adequately removed.

  4. Share the next contractor’s requirements

    Share your next crew’s requirements and desired timing. Raise insurance and documentation requests before booking.
