Wayne Smith and family of Stump Grinders Tree Service, Inc., Mooresville, NC.
Stump Grinders Tree Service, Inc. started in September 1989 when Hurricane Hugo made it’s way through the Carolinas.
Wayne Smith wanted to help out his neighbors and friends so he decided to purchase a stump grinder to help with the clean-up process.
Wayne started out grinding stumps part-time but it shortly became a full-time job as he added additional services. He would start trimming trees and cutting down damaged and dead trees also. It didn’t take long before Wayne had a business that was growing and adding new customers on a daily basis because of referrals from satisfied customers. Twenty-five years later, Stump Grinders Tree Service, Inc. continues to provide the Lake Norman area with a reliable and professional tree service company that stands behind their work. Stump Grinders Tree Services looks forward to helping you with all your tree service needs.
