Matt did a good job of communication and taking care of our stumps exactly as we had planned. He left the area clean, and moved to the area with no damage to the yard.

Matt did an excellent job at our home in Eagan removing 6 stumps along our back fence that backs to a main road. I submitted a request on his site and he got back to me QUICK! I sent over some photos and he was able to give me a quote via text and email and got me on his schedule with a few days notice. This process was extremely smooth and I had no doubt that he was going to do great work when he arrived. I called/emailed 3 other companies and he was the only one to get back to be as promised - this means a lot! I’ll see you when the last two trees need to be removed in the future!

Matt was very professional and polite. He did a great job grinding our stump and cut some roots that were close to the surface. He did a great job.

I would HIGHLY recommend this company to anyone! I had two large maple stumps I needed to get removed. I had received a handful of bids for this job but was so impressed with the over all experience of Stump Guys! They were reasonably priced and their consistent and clear communication and overall outcome of the job was amazing! Thank you for making a tough job, EASY!

I can’t say enough good things about The Stump Guys! From start to finish, the communication was excellent, and Matt was an absolute pleasure to work with. He did a fantastic job grinding the stumps, but what impressed me even more was how incredibly considerate he was of our property. I had moved mulch aside so he could get his equipment up and down the hill, and when he was finished, he took the time to put it all back in place for me. That was completely unexpected and so appreciated. It’s rare to find a company that is this conscientious and takes such care with a customer’s property. We’ve had trees removed in the past and, unless the stump was in a focal point of the yard, I never gave much thought to having it ground. After the experience I had with The Stump Guys, I may be reconsidering that! The quality of the work and the service were outstanding. I honestly don’t remember the last time I received this level of service from a company. If I could give The Stump Guys six stars out of five, I would. I would recommend them without hesitation!

Stump Guys was very fast to quote our stumps, extremely responsible, and professional. They had a quite back to me same day. Matt did a great job making it look like they were never there. Would definitely recommend for any of your stump needs.

They did the job quickly (came out with in a week of me calling) and professionally. I also appreciate their honesty - they quoted me one price, which I was okay with paying and when they were done they said it was less work than expected so they charged me less. I would have been none the wiser if they just charged me what I was originally quoted but it’s this kind of honesty that’s hard to find so I will use them again the next time I need a stump removed.

How Stump Guys Started

How Stump Guys Started

Matt is an owner-operator of Stump Guys and was born and raised in Minnesota. He grew up in Lakeville and, after graduating from high school, attended Dunwoody Technical College where he earned his A.A.S. degree in Automotive Technology. After graduation, Matt moved to Mankato, where he met his wife, Kayse.

Matt and Kayse have two children, Luke and June, and currently live in Bloomington.

In 2024, Matt had the opportunity to start Stump Guys alongside his business partner, Kevin. Both Matt and Kevin recognized a significant gap in the stump grinding industry and saw an opportunity to raise the standard of service. They founded Stump Guys with a commitment to professionalism, reliability, and customer satisfaction—qualities they felt were missing in the industry before launching their company.

With a shared passion for excellence and customer-focused service, they saw an opportunity to do things better. After months of research, training, and preparation, Stump Guys LLC was born. 

Today, the company is more dedicated than ever to delivering the best customer experience and is rapidly becoming the go-to stump grinding specialist for residential, commercial, and municipal clients across the Twin Cities Metro Area.
