Why grind instead of leave it
Old stumps can attract pests, interrupt landscaping, create a trip hazard, and make mowing or hardscape work frustrating. Grinding is usually faster and less disruptive than excavation.
What affects stump grinding cost
- Stump diameter and hardness
- Root flare width and above-ground roots
- Access through gates, steps, or slopes
- Depth needed for replanting or hardscape
- Whether chips stay onsite or are hauled away
After grinding
The grindings can often be used as mulch, removed from the site, or mixed into a cleanup plan. If you plan to replant, tell us the desired depth before work starts.
