How much does stump grinding cost?
Each stump is priced by its diameter at ground level. Stumps up to 20 inches are $150, and most yard trees fall between $150 and $300. Debris removal is $50 per stump. The full price list is in the estimate section above.
Are you insured?
Yes. StumpWorks carries general liability insurance, so your property is covered while we work.
Will it damage my lawn?
The grinder rolls on wide tires and we lay down boards on soft ground. You'll see some chips and a patch of bare dirt where the stump was, which grass fills back in.
What happens to the roots?
We grind the stump and the surface roots near it. Roots deeper underground are left to break down on their own, which is normal and won't regrow for most trees.
Can I plant a new tree in the same spot?
Yes, once the chips are cleared and the hole is filled with topsoil. Planting a foot or two off-center gives the new roots fresh soil.
How much debris does one stump leave?
More than most people expect. A 24-inch stump can leave a pile of chips and soil a couple of feet high. Debris removal clears all of it so you're not left shoveling.
Do I need to be home?
No. If the stump is reachable and the gate is unlocked, we can do the work and send photos when it's done.
