GivingStump

Get tree work done right. The Giving Stump connects homeowners with local arborists for tree removal, trimming, stump grinding, and emergency tree services — without the phone tag, surprise quotes, or pay-per-lead games.

HOW IT WORKS

1. Post your job in 60 seconds. Snap a photo of the tree, describe the work, and pick a timeline.
2. Get real bids. Verified arborists in your area review your job and submit fixed-price quotes — usually within hours, not days.
3. Pick your winner. Compare bids, contractor ratings, and insurance status. Chat in-app. Hire when you're ready.

WHY THE GIVING STUMP

✓ FIXED PRICES, NOT ESTIMATES — every bid is the price you'll pay. No "we'll send someone out for a quote." No callbacks. No haggling.
✓ VERIFIED CONTRACTORS — every arborist on the platform is verified with current insurance and license documentation.
✓ NEVER PAY-PER-LEAD — contractors only pay 5% commission when they actually win the job. That means you get honest bids, not contractors padding prices to recover lead costs from platforms like Angi and Thumbtack.
✓ IN-APP MESSAGING — coordinate scheduling, access details, and final cleanup directly with your arborist. Stays inside the app for your safety.
✓ SECURE PAYMENTS — pay through Stripe when the job is complete.
✓ AI-ASSISTED JOB POSTING — our tree-identification AI helps you describe the work accurately, so you get accurate bids the first time.
