How Much Does Tree Stump Grinding Cost?

The cost Utah tree stump removal

When you remove a tree, stump grinding is necessary to prevent regrowth and avoid insect infestation. Plus, old, rotting stumps are eyesores – definitely not the type of focal point you want on your northern Utah property.

Stump removal is best left to the professionals at Rivendell Tree Experts, as there could be underground utilities and other obstructions in the immediate area. But how much will it cost?

Every project has unique considerations, so prices are quoted on a case-by-case basis. That said, professional stump grinding usually comes in around $200 and, sometimes, the cost is even lower.

Average Tree Stump Removal Rates

Though the cost of professional tree stump removal varies, it may help to know what other homeowners typically pay for the work.

According to HomeAdvisor.com, the trusted online information marketplace, the national average cost to remove a tree stump is $298. Most projects fall between $162 and $473, but removal can run as high as $900.

Costs for Professional Tree Stump Grinding

Most tree service companies base their removal fees on the width of the stump, charging per inch in diameter. Generally speaking, the average total for professional stump grinding in northern Utah is about $200, but can be much more for substantial stumps.

Given that renting a stump grinder typically costs around $190, tackling the project yourself isn’t going to result in much, if any, savings. Besides, if you hire a professional, you won’t have to worry about working around utility lines or meeting the local code and permit requirements.

Estimating Tree Stump Grinding Costs

There’s no denying that some stump removal projects come in at a higher price than others. To determine the total cost, professionals consider several factors.

Stump Condition

Stumps that are covered in moss cost more to remove, as the overgrowth may need to be cleared away for the work to begin. The same is true for trunks that need to be cut down before grinding.

Root System

If a stump has a vast, sprawling root system – which is common with large, old specimens – removal is more complex. The additional work required increases the cost of the project.

Removal Difficulty

Certain types of trees – including hardwoods like elm, birch and oak – are more difficult to remove than others. Access may also play a part in the price. For stumps of stubborn species and those in hard-to-reach spots, costs are higher.

I have been thinking about getting a few stumps in my yard removed next month. It is good to know that grinding the stump down can emulate the difficulty of the job. That is great for me to know because I don't want the process to be a headache for me or the person doing the job.

Stump removal is such a tough process. The people that choose to do this themselves with zero experience quickly realize this process may have been worth the money. Either way, I'll be the first to tip my hat to the individuals who take this on themselves!

If you want reliable tree stump grinding service, always hire professional and local tree removal companies because they never charge high fees from their customers for their service.

Sometimes tree roots can bury themselves vertically and sometimes they bury themselves horizontally along the grass line and sometimes they do a little of both. It's hard to tell until you start following the roots, but this is why it can cost much more and take longer - you want to get most everything out but the root system has spider webbed out far. Thanks for the post!

All of these issues can make stump grinding more expensive. To get an accurate online quote, describe your property in as much detail as possible using the above criteria. Stump grinders will be able to give you a more accurate quote if they know in advance any problems they may face and you won't be disappointed when they come to your property and discover something you've left out.

For one stump, the process can take 15 minutes to 2 hours, depending on the size of the stump, the location, and more.
