One of the first questions homeowners ask after removing a tree is, "How much will it cost to grind the stump?"



The answer depends on several factors, including the size of the stump, the type of tree, and the location of the stump. At Freeman Stump Grinding & Land Solutions LLC, we believe in providing honest, straightforward pricing and free estimates so you know exactly what to expect before we begin.


What Factors Affect the Cost of Stump Grinding?


Stump Size:


The single biggest factor in determining the cost of grinding is the size of the stump.  This determines the time required and wear and tear on equipment to get the job done professionally and safely.  The larger the stump diameter, the higher the cost. At Freeman Stump Grinding, we typically classify stumps under 18” in diameter as small, between 18” and 36” as medium stumps, and anything over 36” as large.


Number of Stumps:


If you have multiple stumps, we offer a discount on the additional stumps to do them in one visit.  It is more economical for us to grind multiple stumps on one trip than to grind one stump on multiple trips and we pass this savings on to you.


Tree Species:


Not all trees are the same and this is reflected in the cost of grinding.  Some hardwoods are much denser than softwoods and thus harder on the equipment and require more time.  In East Texas, some of the more common trees we grind are: Oak, Pine, Sweetgum, Maple, Cedar, Hickory, and Pecan.  Hardwoods typically take longer to grind than softwoods and this is reflected in the price.


Accessibility:


The easier the stump is to reach and work around, the quicker the job can be completed.  Some factors that affect the price include:


  • Backyard Access
  • Narrow Gates
  • Steep Slopes
  • Soft or Muddy Ground
  • Landscaping and Utilities Around the Stump
  • Fences


Surface Roots:


Many times is it more than just the stump sticking up above the ground.  Most stumps have surface roots that are above ground protruding from the stump causing tripping hazards, mower damage, and landscaping issues.  We take the time to not only remove the stump below ground level, but also eliminate these surface roots as well.  Depending on the complexity and amount of surface roots, this can also affect the cost.


Clean Up Options:


Every customer has different needs and desire different looks, so we offer several options on clean up from Grind-N-Go to Complete Lawn Restoration.  The package the customer chooses will affect the cost but each option will be discussed with the customer during the estimate process.


Is Stump Grinding Worth It ?


ABSOLUTELY ! Would you expect us to say anything else ?  Let us tell you why:


The following are the main reasons Stump Grinding is worth it for the property owner:


  • Improve Curb Appeal
  • Remove tripping hazards
  • Make mowing and lawn care easier
  • Discourage wood-boring insects and termites
  • Free up space for landscape projects and increase usable area of yard.


For most homeowners, grinding is much more affordable and less disruptive than excavating the entire stump and root ball.
