What We Look At

6 Factors That Determine Your Cost

Every stump is different. Here's exactly what our crew evaluates when building your quote.

Diameter
The single biggest cost driver. We measure the stump at its widest point at ground level. A 12″ pine costs significantly less than a 36″ oak — use the calculator below for a fast estimate.
Tree Type & Density
Hardwoods like oak, hickory, and maple have dense root systems that take more time and equipment wear than soft woods like pine or poplar. Expect a slight premium on hardwood stumps.
Grinding Depth
Standard grinding goes 6–8 inches below grade — enough to sod or landscape over. Deeper grinds for replanting or construction prep are available at an additional charge.
Accessibility
Stumps near fences, retaining walls, slopes, or in backyard locations with narrow gate access require more time and specialized set-up. Photos of your yard help us give the most accurate quote.
Cleanup & Hauling
Grinding leaves behind a pile of wood chips. You can use them as mulch (free) or we can haul everything away. Select the cleanup add-on in the calculator to include this in your estimate.
Multiple Stumps
Have more than one stump? Since the equipment is already on-site, additional stumps cost less per unit. Mention all your stumps in the project details below and we'll factor in a volume discount.

How to Measure Your Stump

Getting the right measurement means a more accurate estimate.

1

Find the Widest Point

Place your tape measure across the stump at its widest diameter, right at ground level.

2

Note the Inches

Record the measurement in inches. For irregular stumps, average the longest and shortest spans.

Frequently Asked Questions

How do I measure my stump?

Use a tape measure across the widest point of the stump at ground level. If the stump is irregular, take the longest and shortest measurements and average them.

What does the $50 deposit cover?

The deposit reserves your appointment slot and is applied 100% toward your final bill. It also protects our crew's drive time if an appointment is missed.

Is the online estimate the final price?

The online calculator gives you a solid ballpark based on diameter alone. The final price is confirmed on-site after our crew assesses depth, root spread, and access conditions.

Do you offer discounts for multiple stumps?

Yes — since the grinder is already mobilized, each additional stump on the same visit is priced lower per inch. List all your stumps in the project details and we'll include a bundle price in your quote.
