Frequently asked
Before you price the stump.
How is stump grinding priced?+
For jobs with up to 10 stumps, the estimator uses each ground-level diameter. Quantity, tree species, machine access, grinding depth, surface roots and chip haul-off can also affect the final price. Larger jobs receive a broader service-based range.
How deep can a stump be ground?+
Standard residential grinding is commonly 4–6 inches below grade. Sod, construction or replanting may require a deeper plan after the site is reviewed.
Do you remove surface roots?+
Visible surface roots and bulky root flares can often be added to the job. Long underground roots are not normally chased across the yard.
What happens to the wood chips?+
The chip-and-soil mixture can stay for reuse as mulch, or chip haul-off can be added to the estimate.
Can I request an estimate outside the listed service area?+
Yes. Choose the outside-area option and enter the additional one-way miles beyond the nearest listed service area. The estimate adds a $6-per-mile travel surcharge, subject to address and mileage confirmation.
How are projects with 50 or more stumps estimated?+
Large projects switch to a higher-density acreage model. Enter the affected acreage containing stumps, and the range adjusts for density, terrain, access, depth, surface roots, cleanup and chip haul-off.
Are utility markings needed?+
Utilities must be marked when they are located in the stump or root removal area. If you are unsure, begin with a Tennessee 811 locate request. Private lines such as irrigation, pet fencing, septic, propane and owner-installed wiring may need separate locating.
