Stump Grinding FAQs
We typically grind stumps 6–12 inches below ground level — deep enough for grass seeding, sod installation, or other landscaping. If you plan to build a structure or install pavers, we can grind deeper on request. Depth depends on root system size and your specific needs.
We offer several options: haul away all chips for complete cleanup, spread them as natural mulch in your garden beds, or leave them on-site for you to use. We discuss your preference during the estimate.
Stump grinding costs vary by diameter, quantity, access difficulty, and root complexity. Small stumps under 12 inches typically run $75–$150. Medium stumps (12–24 inches) range from $150–$350.
