Items that Impact the Cost:
- First, you will have to decide how much of the stump would you like removed. The total cost of your project will depend on the size of the stump and the complexity of the tree's root system. How far down do you want to go? You can see what professional stump grinding really looks like in this short video.
- As you can see above, your geographic location may affect the cost. Prices tend to be more expensive in major metropolitan areas - where the cost of living is higher.
- Once the stump is removed, does the hole need to be backfilled with soil or dirt? Would you like to re-landscape, lay sod, or plant another tree? These additional landscaping services will cost extra.
- Going the DIY route?
If you want to do-it-yourself, renting a stump grinder from a local home improvement store will cost between $100 and $150 per day. Check out this video to see if you are up for the challenge. You should always use extreme caution when working with heavy machinery like this. If you aren't careful, you could end up injuring yourself badly.
