Know which stump grinding leads are worth estimate time
Ask homeowners how many stumps need grinding, how wide the largest one is, and whether equipment can reach the site — then require site photos before your crew commits to a truck roll.
The exact intake your stump grinding leads complete
This is the real 7-question guided intake for Stump Grinding — the same flow your customers finish before you ever pick up the phone.
What a qualified stump grinding lead should tell you
Removing a tree stump below ground level with a grinding machine, typically needing details on stump count, width, and machine access before an estimate can be scoped.

The questions your team needs answered
Every stump grinding intake asks these — and why each one matters.
| Question | Why it matters |
|---|---|
| How many stumps need to be ground down? | The number of stumps directly scales crew time and equipment needs, so it separates small one-off jobs from larger clearing work. |
| About how wide is the largest stump across the top? | Stump width determines which grinder wheel size and how long the job will take, feeding directly into pricing. |
| Can a stump grinding machine reach the stump location easily? | Access difficulty tells your team whether a standard grinder works or a specialty machine and extra labor is needed before dispatch. |
| Do you own or manage the property where the stump is located? | Confirming ownership avoids sending a crew to quote someone who doesn't have authority to approve the work. |
| Are there underground utilities, irrigation lines, or septic systems near the stump? | Nearby utilities or septic lines mean the crew should verify locate marks before grinding to avoid damage and liability. |
| How soon would you like the stump grinding completed? | Timeline signals how quickly the homeowner wants the work done, helping prioritize scheduling among open leads. |
| What would you like done with the wood chips left after grinding? | Segments the lead so you can route, price, and prioritize it correctly. |

Built for stump grinding workflows
| Cliont capability | Stump Grinding application |
|---|---|
| Conditional access questions | Flags 'very limited access' stumps so dispatch knows to bring a mini grinder or plan extra labor instead of a standard machine. |
| Ownership verification | Confirms the submitter owns or manages the property before the estimate is scheduled, cutting down on visits where the actual decision-maker isn't involved. |
| Site-hazard flagging | Surfaces stumps near underground utilities or septic systems so crews can request a locate before grinding on the job site. |
| Job volume scoring | Weighs single-stump versus multi-stump submissions differently, helping you spot larger clearing jobs before you call back. |
Common stump grinding lead scenarios
Single backyard stump, easy access
One stump with clear machine access scores well but stays a smaller ticket, so the intake flags it for quick scheduling rather than a priority callback.
Multi-stump property clearing
Six or more stumps on one property signals a larger job; the intake captures this volume up front so it routes ahead of single-stump requests.
Tight side-yard or fenced access
When access is 'very limited,' the intake surfaces that early so your team can plan for a mini grinder or manual work instead of showing up with the wrong machine.
Stump near septic or irrigation lines
A yes on nearby underground utilities or a septic system tells your team to confirm locate marks before grinding, avoiding damage on-site.
Renter or property manager inquiry
The ownership question separates leads with authority to approve the work from those needing owner sign-off, so you can follow up appropriately instead of quoting the wrong contact.

Stump Grinding lead-intake FAQs
How does the intake handle properties with several stumps?
The form asks how many stumps need grinding, from one up to six or more, so multi-stump jobs are visible in the lead detail before you ever call the homeowner back.
Does the intake ask about stump size for quoting?
Yes, it asks about the width of the largest stump across the top, which helps your team estimate grinder time and pricing before the site visit.
What if the person filling out the form isn't the property owner?
The intake asks whether the submitter owns or manages the property, so leads from tenants or non-decision-makers are flagged differently from owner-submitted requests.
Why does the intake ask about underground utilities or septic systems?
Stumps near irrigation lines, utility cable, or septic systems carry added risk, so the answer alerts your crew to check for locate marks before grinding rather than finding out on-site.
Can I use this to prioritize jobs with easy equipment access?
The access question — clear, tight, or very limited — is captured directly, so you can see at a glance which leads are straightforward walk-behind jobs versus ones needing specialty equipment.
Does the wood chip disposal question affect the lead score?
No, it's informational only — it helps your team scope whether to include a haul-away fee in the estimate, not whether the lead is worth pursuing.
