Is there a tree stump on your property that is unsightly? Want to plant something different or need it cleared before beginning a new building project?
There are many reasons to remove tree stumps. That is why we offer solutions for when you want to get the job done right.
We grind all shapes and sizes of stumps. In most cases, when providing tree removal services, we are able to grind stumps below ground level and sometimes we can completely remove the entire tree stump and root ball.
How much does tree stump grinding or removal services cost?
It depends on these factors:
Size of Stump – The diameter of the stump to be ground is one of the most important factors when estimating the cost of stump grinding.
Location – Accessibility for equipment is sometimes a big variable.
Type of Tree – Some types of wood grind more easily than others.
Age of Stump – Dead, dry wood and green, wet wood have different grinding characteristics.
Conditions Around Base of Tree – Rocky soil wears expensive cutting teeth. In contrast, soft, loamy soil is less damaging to machinery.
The combination of variables makes it difficult to estimate the cost of services. For this reason, we need to first seeing what is required. We do not charge a fee to visit your property. Evaluating the situation and writing you an estimate is free.

Preparations before beginning a stump removal project
PLEASE READ: Buried utilities need to be either CLEARLY MARKED or MOVED before we arrive.
Stump grinding or stump removal services usually do not go as deep as properly placed utilities. Such as, water, power and gas lines. However, in case they do – a dig order must be placed calling 811. So, utility contractors will visit to mark where any power and gas lines are.
Buried lines utility companies may be unable to locate
These include, sprinkler heads, water lines and irrigation systems. Furthermore, shallow water, sewer, power or communication lines need to be included as well.
It is advisable to contact the companies that provide your irrigation services, cable and phone lines,. Or any other services that may be buried near the stump to be removed. This is for the area where any stump grinding is to take place. Including, other stump removal techniques will be used. Such as, pulled out an by excavator.
This will help to minimize the risk of damage and costly repairs to existing utilities.
We hope you understand: We cannot be held responsible for causing damage to underground utilities while stump grinding if we are unaware of it’s existence.
Mulch is often beneficial for gardens and compost. It is created during the performance of stump grinding procedures and will remain on site. Removal of all stump grinding related mulch should be requested prior to writing an estimate.
*NOTE: Tree Stump Removal – If you want to remove the entire stump and root ball and you haven’t already removed the tree be sure to leave a nice length of trunk for leverage. Cutting a tree down to ground level will only complicate the situation when trying to tie off and pull out the root ball. If the tree has been cut down to ground level it will usually require stump grinding or digging out, either by hand or by machine.
