Gone Stumpin is based in Valrico and works in nine cities and communities around it. Each one has its own tree rules, its own yard waste limits and its own reasons stumps pile up.

Pick your city for the local details: permit thresholds, what the curb will take, where yard waste can go and the landmarks that help place a job. Not sure we reach your address? Send it with your estimate request and we will confirm.

City rules or county rules

Whether a tree needs a permit or a pile goes to the curb depends on who governs the address, not just the city on the envelope. Gone Stumpin grinds stumps and does not remove standing trees, but these rules decide what happened before we get there.

Incorporated cities

Tampa, St. Petersburg, Clearwater, Bradenton, Lakeland and Plant City each set their own tree permits and yard waste limits. Check the applicable city requirements for the tree and property; a rule from another city does not settle the question.

Unincorporated Hillsborough

Brandon, Riverview and Valrico follow Hillsborough County rules. Removal permits generally apply to trees 12 inches and wider on developed lots. Stumps are not listed among accepted curbside yard-waste items; check the actual material and collection requirements.

Mailing addresses mislead

Plenty of Bradenton addresses sit in unincorporated Manatee County, and parts of the Clearwater and St. Pete area follow Pinellas County rules. Your property tax district tells you which set applies.

What stays the same everywhere

The rules change at the city line. How Gone Stumpin works does not.

  1. Send the address

    Include the project address with your estimate request so we can confirm we reach it. A phone call or text works too.

  2. The owner sees the job

    He looks at the stump or the lot in person and writes the estimate before any work starts.

  3. A set arrival time

    The job goes on the schedule with an arrival time, and the owner runs it himself.

Use the address and the job to choose the next page

The city pages explain local context. The service pages explain what work is offered. Use both when planning a request, then send the actual project address and work list so the owner can confirm the fit. This overview names the existing target towns; it does not promise every service at every address.

Start with the property jurisdiction

A mailing-city name and the authority governing a property are not always the same. A Bradenton address may be in unincorporated Manatee County, while Brandon, Riverview and Valrico follow Hillsborough County requirements. Read the local page for context and check the actual property when a tree, permit or collection question matters. Do not combine the easiest allowance from one city with a rule from another. The project address also lets Gone Stumpin confirm whether the proposed work can be reached before a job is arranged.

Choose the service that matches the work

A stump left after a tree comes down is a stump-grinding request. Brush and overgrowth belong to land clearing; branches that need attention belong to trimming and pruning. Pressure washing is residential, and handyman work stays with minor repairs. Fence and manual gate repair has its own narrower list of towns. Follow the relevant service page instead of assuming every property-work offer is identical across all nine locations. Gone Stumpin does not remove standing trees, install new fences, repair automatic gates or offer the excluded licensed trades.

Put cleanup on the request

Grinding a stump, clearing brush and taking away debris are related choices, but the cleanup should still be stated. Tell the owner whether material is to stay on the property or whether haul-away is wanted where that option applies. For stump work, raking and grass planting can be requested rather than assumed. Local requirements for debris created by hired businesses still matter. A residential collection allowance does not by itself establish that material from a contractor qualifies for curbside pickup. Agree on the work and cleanup in the written estimate.

Let the estimate define the actual job

Send the address, identify the service and describe what you want the property ready for. Include access limitations and the parts of the work you want considered. The owner looks at the job in person and writes the estimate before work starts. The number holds unless the scope changes. Once agreed, the job receives a scheduled arrival time and the owner is on site. A town page gives useful background; it is not a quote, a fixed travel-time promise or confirmation that an unspecified job is already booked.

One owner. Every job.

Wherever the job is, the owner sees it in person, puts the estimate in writing and gives you a scheduled arrival time. First responders, veterans and active military get a discount.
