How much does stump grinding cost?

We have a $100 minimum to do a job but there is no standard price per stump. Pricing depends on a lot of factors that need to be visually assessed before we can give you an estimate. Here are some factors that go into a price:

  • Size of stump. We look at the diameter of the stump as well as how high above ground it extends.
  • Type of tree. Some wood types are denser and harder to grind than others.
  • Amount of raised root structure. The roots on some trees create a raised area in your yard, even though the roots are technically underground. Many customers want this root mound leveled off with the surrounding terrain.
  • Required depth of grinding. For many customers, 6-8 inches below ground level is plenty because they just want to put sod down over it. Other client goals, such as pouring concrete or putting in fenceposts, where the stump is, require deeper grinding.
  • Ease of access. Sometimes we need to remove part of a fence or get creative to access the stump, which can add to the amount of work on our end.
  • Amount of clean-up. “Grind it and leave it” is the cheapest option. We can also pile up the chips nicely, spread them out evenly, or haul them away (for a price).

As you can see, there are a lot of factors that go into pricing stump grinding, and although we can sometimes give a “ballpark” estimate over the phone, we really need to see the job to give you the best price possible.
