"The Stump needing removal was the remnants of a tree which had been cut in order to replace septic tank field lines. This particular tree was over 40 years in age and its trunk and route system were grown and gnarled and tangled through not soil but stone primarily. There was a matte of surface roots covering the lower part of the driveway and across the top of this very steep and dangerous location. When Shannon pulled in with his trailer holding a piece of equipment I have never seen the likes of before that day. That piece of equipment was designed to grind a stump in the way a caterpillar moves. The equipment is from all appearances fastidiously maintained and to get to the start it had to make its way across a wide open trench which we covered in three-quarter inch plywood sheets in order to keep the equipment safe. This was the only route to get to the stump which sat on the crest of a steep, well very steep hill. It was amazing to see how adept Shannon is in managing that complex a piece of equipment he was using for this job. I had had two other attempts made to remove the stump and I figured when I saw that Swiss engineered Caterpillar looking thing that this was the piece of equipment and the right man to do the job. It was a dangerous and difficult job and I cannot think Shannon enough for his skills, kindness and consideration, his respect for my property, removing all of the debris so that the septic tank team could come back in the next day to resume their work, and for just being a great guy. Thanks to Shannon I had running water and septic tank service within a couple of days again. Shannon, well done."

"Although he arrived later than planned, he did phone ahead of time to let me know that he would be late and gave me an estimated time of arrival. I appreciate that. He was very professional and knowledgeable. He pointed out a tree that is being attacked by beetles and dropping dead limbs, but he also knew that the sycamores were healthy and dropped limbs naturally to self-prune. I need to get 3 estimates before selecting who will do the work, so I do not know yet if we will use Cornerstone. But just from my interaction with Mr. Miller, I would be happy to employ this tree service."

"Very professional and polite, he explained his whole process and eliminated any confusion. I had a partial demo done and he made the area look better than I hoped. Very thorough, detail oriented, and not afraid to go the extra mile!"

"Repaired my septic tank - great price and professional work. Highly recommend !!!"

"Tripp Norwood is smart and respectful. I have no doubt he and his company could do an excellent project for us, but his focus is on major projects such as removing the entire driveway and reinstalling "to get it right." We just did not need this level of investment."

"Phil and his guys do an excellent job. They are always looking to make sure everything I need is taken care of. Their plant and sod selections are great."

"Very knowledgeable about water drainage. Provided a detailed solution after fully explaining how the system would work. Installed an extensive French drain solution and installed in a timely fashion"
