Stump Removal in Prescott-Russell County
Prescott-Russell is one of our most active service areas, and for good reason — the county is filled with mature trees on large residential lots, acreages, and farmland. When those trees come down (storm damage, disease, or simply outgrowing their space), the stumps need to go.
Here's what homeowners in Rockland, Embrun, Casselman, Hawkesbury, and across Prescott-Russell should know about professional stump removal.
Why Prescott-Russell Properties Have Unique Stump Challenges
Large Lot Sizes
Many properties in Prescott-Russell — especially in rural areas outside Rockland and Embrun — have significantly more trees than a typical Ottawa suburb. It's not uncommon for us to remove 6–12 stumps from a single acreage in a day.
Our volume pricing means the more stumps you have, the better your per-unit rate: $65/ft for 6 or more stumps on a single visit.
Soil and Clay Conditions
Parts of Prescott-Russell, particularly around the South Nation River watershed, have heavy clay soil. Clay makes stump removal slightly more challenging (roots anchor deeper and spread wider in clay), but our equipment handles it without issue.
Distance from Ottawa
Some Prescott-Russell homeowners worry that being outside Ottawa means higher costs or longer wait times. At Stickman, we don't charge travel fees to Rockland, Embrun, or anywhere in Prescott-Russell County. You pay the same rate as an Ottawa customer.

Common Tree Species in Prescott-Russell
Knowing your tree species helps predict what the stump removal will involve:
Manitoba Maple (Box Elder)
The most common "nuisance" tree in Eastern Ontario. Stumps decompose relatively quickly but send up aggressive root suckers if not ground promptly.
White/Green Ash
Ash trees across the county have been devastated by the Emerald Ash Borer. We've removed hundreds of ash stumps following EAB deaths. Ash wood is very hard and dense — our grinding takes a bit longer, but the result is the same.
Silver Maple
Common near waterways and wet areas. Surface roots spread wide, which means more grinding to clear the stump zone fully.
Eastern White Cedar
Cedar stumps are common on properties near the Ottawa River and its tributaries. Cedar wood is naturally rot-resistant, which means these stumps take longer to decompose naturally — making grinding particularly worthwhile.
Black Walnut
Less common but present in Prescott-Russell. The roots release a chemical (juglone) toxic to many garden plants, so removing black walnut stumps completely is important if you plan to garden nearby.
