How much does tree stump removal cost?

Stump removal usually costs between $100 and $500 depending on the size, location, and type of tree. Bigger or harder-to-reach stumps may cost more.

Is it better to grind or remove a stump?

Grinding is faster and less invasive. Full removal pulls the roots too, which is better if you’re replanting or building in the same spot.

Can you remove the entire stump and roots?

Yes, we can either grind the stump below ground level or excavate the entire stump and root system, depending on what you need.

How long does stump removal take?

Most stumps take 30 minutes to 2 hours depending on the size and number. Larger projects may take longer.

Will stump grinding damage my yard?

No, we use compact equipment and take care to minimize damage. We also offer cleanup and leveling after grinding.

Do I need to be home for the stump removal?

Not always. If we have access and a clear plan, we can handle the work while you’re away. We’ll coordinate everything ahead of time.

What happens to the wood chips?

We can either leave them behind for mulch or haul them away — your choice.

Can you remove multiple stumps in one visit?

Yes, we offer multi-stump discounts and can clear entire lots or yards quickly.

What type of equipment do you use?

We use professional stump grinders and mini excavators. This helps us grind or dig stumps, roots, and even prep land for new construction.

Can you remove stumps near fences or buildings?

Yes, our equipment fits into tight spaces and we use caution to protect surrounding structures.

Do you offer same-day or emergency stump removal?

Yes, in many cases we can offer same-day or next-day service, especially for urgent cleanups or storm damage.

Do you do more than just stump removal?

Absolutely. We also offer tree removal, bush clearing, excavation, grading, trenching, and demolition.
