Frequently Asked Questions

How much does stump grinding cost?

Stump grinding is priced based on the diameter of the stump. Most residential stumps cost between $100 and $400 to grind. We offer discounts when you have multiple stumps done at the same time.

How long does stump grinding take?

Most single stumps take 30 minutes to an hour. Larger stumps or stumps with extensive root systems may take longer. We can usually grind multiple stumps in a single visit.

What happens to the roots?

The roots remain underground and decay naturally over time. We grind the stump and any visible surface roots below ground level. The underground root system breaks down on its own and does not cause problems.

Can I plant something where the stump was?

Yes. After the wood chips settle, you can fill the area with topsoil and plant grass, a garden bed, or even a new tree. We recommend waiting a few weeks for the chips to settle before planting.
