A short recording answers first. Press 1 and you're put through.
We read the 1-to-3-star Google reviews of 88 Arkansas clearing and tree companies, and 172 of them were about the work itself. Stump jobs went wrong in the same few ways, and each answer here is a promise the person running your job keeps.
11 of 172 reviews: stumps and roots left that the owner expected gone
Your quote says how the stumps will be left (ground level, below grade, or removed). We check it with you at the walkthrough.
29 of 172 reviews: grindings, brush, or trimmings left behind
Your written quote says what happens to every bit of cut material: mulched in place, piled, or hauled away. We walk the site with you before we call the job done.
21 of 172 reviews: damage the crew wouldn't own
If we damage anything (a fence, a gate, a line, a culvert), we tell you before we leave that day, and the fix goes in writing.
12 of 172 reviews: the price changed with nothing in writing
You get a written quote before any work. It lists every charge, travel included. The price changes only if you approve the change in writing first.
61 of 172 reviews: the crew stopped answering
Every call or text gets a call back the same working day, from the person running your job.
15 of 172 reviews: no firm date, only "next week"

What Arkansas homeowners and landowners ask Google before they hire someone to grind a stump. Each answer starts with the answer.
Usually 8 to 12 inches below the surface, with the surface roots that flare out from the stump ground too, according to SDSU Extension. Mark's Arkansas Land Clearing Service puts in writing how each stump will be left (ground level, below grade, or removed) and checks it with you at the walkthrough.
A fair price is one written down before any work starts. Our guide to Arkansas stump removal average costs walks through what moves the price. Mark's Arkansas Land Clearing Service gives you a written quote that lists every charge, travel included, and the price changes only if you approve the change in writing first.
Some can, from the roots. University of Illinois Extension says roots left underground keep sending up suckers until their food reserves run out, and it suggests grinding out the big surface roots as well. Before we quote, Mark's Arkansas Land Clearing Service tells you what the ground will need afterwards to keep growth from coming back.
Mainly the grindings and the hole. Iowa State University Extension says the wood chips and sawdust left in the soil can temporarily reduce the nitrogen available to new grass, and the spot settles. Mark's Arkansas Land Clearing Service puts in writing whether the grindings stay in the hole, get piled, or get hauled away.
Mark's Arkansas Land Clearing Service is fully licensed and insured. We carry liability insurance and send the certificate on request.
We have the equipment for any land clearing or earth-moving job, so a yard stump, a root ball, and a field of stumps left after clearing all go to one crew. The estimate is free, and our lines are open 24/7.
We work statewide from three Google listings: Hindsville, Greenbrier, and Hot Springs. The crew comes to your property.
Six steps, in order, and what you see at each one.
Every call or text gets a call back the same working day, from the person running your job. If we can't take your job, we say so on the first call.
You show us each stump and root ball you want gone. Before we quote, we tell you what the ground will look like the day we leave.
You get a written quote before any work. It lists every charge, travel included. Your quote comes with a start week.
We call the day before, and again when the crew pulls in. Before the machine starts, we walk and flag the boundaries and anything you want saved.
If the ground is too wet to work without rutting, we tell you and reschedule. Any ruts we make are smoothed before we leave.
We walk the site with you before we call the job done. Final payment is due after the walkthrough. Every payment gets a receipt.
Some call it stump grinding, some call it stump removal or getting rid of a root ball. These are the five kinds of stump jobs we take across Arkansas.
A cleared lot or pasture can still have stumps standing in it. We grind them below grade or take them out, so a mower, a tractor, or the grading crew can cross the ground. The clearing itself is land clearing.
After a tree comes down, the stump stays until someone grinds it. Taking down the standing tree first is tree removal.
A tree the wind pushed over leaves its root ball standing up out of the ground. We grind it down or take it out.
Timber ground with stumps left between the trees, ground down so the land can be cleared, seeded, or built on.
Stumps that sat for years and catch a mower deck or a bush hog, ground out so the field mows clean. Keeping that field open afterwards is brush removal.
Before you pick one of these three, ask how the stumps will be left: ground level, below grade, or removed. Each service answers it differently, and we put the answer in writing.
Stump grinding leaves a patch of grindings where the stump stood. Three things decide how it looks, and each one is settled in writing before the machine starts.
Before we quote, we tell you what the ground will look like the day we leave and what it will need afterwards to keep the brush from coming back.
If we have to leave before the job is finished, you get the return date before the crew leaves.
Every review on our three Google listings is five stars.
Mark and his team are outstanding! They were quick to get back with us, and did an excellent job.
A great job they did on my farm.
They did a superb job and the crew completed the job on time. Thank you!

The rest of what owners ask before the grinder shows up.
Read the guidesSeeding grass straight into the grindings is the big one. Iowa State University Extension says to remove the chips as thoroughly as you can, add quality topsoil, and mound it lightly above grade for settling. Mark's Arkansas Land Clearing Service tells you up front what the ground will need after we leave.
Yes, for a stump or two, with a rented grinder. Arkansas law still has you contact Arkansas 811 first, and the utilities mark their buried lines within two full working days. Mark's Arkansas Land Clearing Service grinds and removes stumps across Arkansas, from one yard stump to every stump left on a cleared lot.
Grind it or dig it out. SDSU Extension says a stump left to rot can take a decade or more, and the stump-removal products sold in stores (nitrate fertilizers) still take one to three years. Mark's Arkansas Land Clearing Service grinds stumps below grade or digs them out.
It depends on the wood, the roots, and the depth you want, so we won't guess at minutes over the phone. Mark's Arkansas Land Clearing Service looks at the stump first, and your written quote comes with a start week. If the weather moves it, we call you.
