What should I do today or this week?

What should I check when hiring or switching providers?
Ask the pro for proof of liability insurance and any required licence before work begins. Verify the Alabama Horticulture Professional Services License that tree-removal companies should hold. Confirm the invoice will list per-stump charges and any minimum fee.
Do I need a permit for stump grinding in Hazel Green?
Hazel Green is in unincorporated Madison County, so check permit questions with the county rather than a city office. Most residential stump grinding in Alabama does not require a permit. Call 811 before grinding deeper than 6 inches.
How much will the three stumps cost?
Typical pro pricing is $120 to $400 for the first stump and $30 to $60 for each additional stump. Local guidance puts a three-stump property around $300 to $1,000 depending on size and access. Stumps over 24 inches can cost $300 to $700 each.
What to do next
- Measure each stump's diameter in inches, since pricing is often $2–$6 per inch.
- Request a written estimate that states whether debris hauling, backfill, and grading are included.
- Ask the pro for proof of liability insurance and confirm the Alabama Horticulture Professional Services License.
- Confirm with the pro whether 811 notification is needed before grinding deeper than 6 inches.
