Our Stump Grinding Process

Simple Process, Complete Results

First, we assess the stump size, location, and any underground utilities or obstacles. This determines the right equipment and approach for your specific situation.

Next, we use professional grinding equipment to systematically reduce the stump and major roots to wood chips, going several inches below ground level. This ensures nothing will sprout back up later.

Finally, we clean up all debris, fill the area with the wood chips or soil, and leave your property ready for whatever you have planned next. The entire process typically takes a few hours, depending on stump size and complexity.

Stump grinding costs typically range from $100 to $400 per stump, depending on size, location, and complexity. Smaller stumps under 12 inches diameter are usually on the lower end, while large stumps over 24 inches cost more due to the additional time and equipment required. We provide free estimates and transparent pricing upfront, so you know exactly what to expect. Multiple stumps on the same property often qualify for volume discounts.
Most residential stumps take 30 minutes to 2 hours to grind completely, depending on size and root system complexity. Small stumps under 12 inches can be finished in 30-45 minutes, while larger stumps may take several hours. The cleanup and site restoration typically adds another 30 minutes to the total job time. We’ll give you a realistic time estimate when we assess your specific stump situation.
