Typically, the size of the stump, as measured across the broadest area at ground level, determines how much it will cost to remove it. Based on the following, other items may also affect the price estimate:
- Taking out the interlock
- Removing the fence
- Obstructions that take more time to set up or remove
- Sprinkler and electrical safety measures
A stump grinder is a specialized piece of equipment that we utilize. The stump is ground below ground level by the side-to-side motion of the cutter wheel. We use safety security boards around the stump and grinder so wood chips remain in the stump area not all over the yard.
The reason the stump is not pulled out (excavated) it takes a larger piece of equipment (excavator) causing a large deep hole requiring more backfill resulting in extremely higher costs.
Our sophisticated, cutting-edge, and meticulously maintained trucks, trailers, and stump-removal equipment all function to their highest potential while avoiding breakdowns and delays.
Our equipment will fit through a 35″ opening. Our stump grinder is strong enough to remove even the largest stumps, allowing us to reach most backyards and confined locations.
In order to avoid leaving stains and ruts on your lawn, our stump grinder travels quietly on sizable tires that are inflated with air.
Additionally, we create plywood sheets to cover any nearby buildings and structures as protection.
Depending on the size of the stump, it usually takes us a short period of time to remove it, fill the hole, and clean the surrounding area.
- We will need to be informed of any underground sprinkler system, wiring or obstacles to ensure they are not damaged.
- Please ensure arrangement are made for children and pets to be away from the stump grinding area, on the day of the appointment.
The mulch made from the wood after the stump has been ground is typically sufficient to backfill the hole by using the existing soil if possible.
If you’re not completely happy with our work, we’ll come back within 24 hours to fix your concerns at no extra cost.
Because it is practically difficult to eliminate all the old roots, many of them will stay underground and eventually die, which might temporarily encourage the growth of mushrooms.
Grinding the stump below ground level will start the natural process of decomposing and stops any further growth of tree shoots/sprouts.
