The Crew Behind Miller's Stump Grinding

A small, certified, fully insured tree crew serving the New Palestine metro — led by the owner, who still walks most of the estimates himself.

Miller's Stump Grinding at work in New Palestine

Our Story

We climb them. We respect them.

Miller's started with one bucket truck, one chipper, and one rule: nothing leaves this property broken except the tree we came for. the owner still walks most estimates personally — because the person quoting the job should be the person who has to figure out how to get it on the ground.

We're a small, certified crew serving the New Palestine metro. We carry $2 million in liability and full workers' comp, and we hand you the certificate before we hand you a saw quote. We don't top trees, we don't spike a tree we're not removing, and we don't leave a yard we wouldn't let our own kids run barefoot across. If that costs us a job to the guy in the pickup with no insurance — fine. He's not the one you want in your oak.

What We Stand For

The values behind every job.

Four things we won't compromise on — no matter the size of the project.

Safety before speed

Every removal gets a plan, a rigging setup, and a drop zone before anyone starts a saw. The fast way and the right way are almost never the same way in this trade.

Straight answers

If your tree is healthy and you just don't like the leaves, we'll tell you that. We've talked more people out of removals than into them — and they call us back for the pruning.

Real insurance, on paper

$2M liability and workers' comp, current, and emailed to you before we schedule. It's the single most important question a homeowner can ask, and most never do.

Leave it clean

Chips out of the beds. Ruts raked. Driveway blown. Stump ground below grade. The yard should look better when we pull out than the day the tree was standing.

The Crew

The people who'll actually show up.

No rotating subcontractors — just the same hand-picked faces, every job, start to finish.
