Stump Grinding Pricing

How Stump Grinding Pricing Works

What determines the cost?

The primary factor is the width of the stump measured at the widest point across the top. I measure in inches — for reference, a standard sheet of paper is 8.5 inches wide. Pricing is also affected by:

• Number of visible surface roots you want ground — each root can add $10 to the job
• Location on your property — stumps close to fences, patios, driveways, sidewalks, and foundations require more care
• Volume discount — multiple stumps get a significant discount per stump
• Free estimate — I come to your property, measure the stumps, and give you a written quote on the spot

What's included?

Every stump grind includes grinding the stump below grade and cleanup. I use a portable stump grinder that fits through a standard 36-inch gate — no fence removal needed. If you'd like a deeper grind (12+ inches below grade for replanting), just let me know and I'll adjust the quote.

How fast does the equipment work?

A typical stump grind takes about 1 hour from start to finish, including cleanup. The vast majority of stumps I grind are in the $40–$200 range. For the stump grinding portion alone, most residential jobs are billed by the stump — not by the hour — so you know the cost upfront before I start.
