How Crews Price It
Most price by diameter at the widest point, sometimes by diameter times a rate per inch. Many have a minimum charge for showing up. Extra stumps in the same visit are cheaper each.
What Adds Cost
- Large surface roots, which are ground as well
- Hard to reach spots, slopes or tight gates
- Rocky, hard soil or old dead stumps with metal in them
- Hauling away the chips or filling and seeding
Ways to Save
Book grinding with the removal, or grind several stumps in one visit. Ask the crew to leave the chips for your garden beds. If a neighbor has a stump, schedule together.
