Frequently Asked Questions
How deep do you grind stumps?
We typically grind stumps 6-8 inches below ground level, which is sufficient for most landscaping needs. If you're planning to build or plant a new tree in the same location, we can grind deeper (10-12 inches) to ensure complete removal.
How much does stump grinding cost?
Stump grinding costs depend on the stump's diameter, age, hardness, and accessibility. Small stumps (under 12 inches) typically start around $100, while larger stumps can range from $150-$300+. We offer discounts for multiple stumps. Contact us for a free, accurate estimate.
Will stump grinding damage my lawn?
Our professional equipment and techniques minimize damage to surrounding areas. We use ground protection when necessary and clean up thoroughly after grinding. Some minor surface disruption may occur in the immediate area, but we restore the area with wood chips or soil.
How long does stump grinding take?
Most residential stump grinding jobs take between 30 minutes to 2 hours per stump, depending on size and complexity. Large stumps or those with extensive root systems may take longer. We'll provide a time estimate during your consultation.
Can I plant grass or a new tree after stump grinding?
Yes, you can plant grass immediately after stump grinding if the area is properly filled and leveled. For planting a new tree, we recommend waiting a few months to allow the wood chips and roots to decompose, or having us remove all material from the hole and filling it with fresh soil.
