Stump Grinding & Removal
How Much Does Stump Grinding Cost in Greensboro?
After cutting down a tree, you’re left with a stump, and just like you wouldn’t leave a big rock in the middle of your yard, you probably don’t want a tree stump there either.
Getting rid of a tree stump is a job for professionals who have special machines to grind the stump down or remove it. If you’re thinking about getting this done in Greensboro, you’ll want to know how much it might cost.
The price can vary a lot, from about $60 to over $600. Let’s break down the factors that affect stump grinding and removal costs.
How the Size of the Stump Affects the Price
- Small Stumps (up to 10 inches wide): These can be on the lower end, costing between $60 and $150.
- Medium Stumps (10 to 20 inches wide): For these, the price might range from $80 to $200.
- Large Trees (20 inches wide & up): These require more work and can cost between $150 and $600 or more, depending on the stump's size.
If you have more than one stump to remove, it might cost less per stump to get them all done at once.
Some services offer a discount for multiple stumps because they can save time and travel costs by doing several stumps in the same area.
What's Usually Included in the Stump Removal Cost?
- Hauling Away the Wood Chips: After grinding, there will be a lot of wood chips. Some companies include hauling these away in their price, and some charge extra.
- Filling the Hole: Once the stump is gone, you'll have a hole where it was. If you want the service to fill this hole with soil, it might cost extra.
Some tree stumps are harder to grind than others. For example, hardwood stumps like oak are tougher and take more time and effort to grind down than softer wood stumps, like pine. This can affect the price.
If the stump is hard to get to, like in a tight space between buildings or behind a fence, it might cost more to remove. Easy access to the stump can lower the cost.
