Arborist removing a large tree beside a home, cut logs staged on the lawn

Wesley Hartman founded Stump Masters Tree Service in 2013 after more than a decade working tree crews across Central Illinois, and started the company because he was tired of watching homeowners get vague estimates and no-shows from bigger outfits. The goal was simple: show up when you say you will, quote honestly, and do the work yourself instead of subcontracting it out.

Thirteen years later, the crew has grown, but the approach hasn't changed. Every job -- from a single backyard stump in Home Park to a multi-tree storm cleanup after a bad Central Illinois windstorm -- gets the same on-site assessment and honest pricing that Wesley started the company on.

What Decatur Homeowners Say

Tight lot, alley access only, and they still managed to rig down two large trees without touching the neighbor's fence. Genuinely impressive work.
— Priya S., Downtown Decatur
Stump grinding for three old stumps left by the previous owner. Machine made quick work of all three and they raked the chips back in like we asked. Yard looks so much bigger now.
— Dale R., Harristown
A dead tree from the conservation area edge was leaning toward our shed. Crew came out within a couple days, took it down carefully in sections. Cleanup could've been a little more thorough but overall solid.
— Angela M., Sunnyside
