id=\"What_Factors_determine_the_stump_grinding_cost\"><\/span>What Factors determine the stump grinding cost?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Some of the factors which determine the cost of stump grindings include the size of the stump, the location in which it is located, the number of stumps you need to grind, if there are any obstructions or debris in the way of grindings, the post-cleanup process and if there is any other service which you need to include.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Let\u2019s take a look at how these factors can affect the stump grinding costs and what price you can expect throughout the country.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"How_Much_Does_It_Cost_to_Hire_A_Stump_Grinding_Service\"><\/span>How Much Does It Cost to Hire A Stump Grinding Service?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>On average, homeowners end up paying between $150-450 for stump grinding with the low extreme ranging around $100 and the high end being around $500-700.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>As an example, these are prices offered by<a href=\"https:\/\/www.houzz.com\/professionals\/tree-services\/devos-tree-care-pfvwus-pf~942982175\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\"> Devos Tree Care<\/a> as shown in this table. Although these can vary from one service to another and also on the area, it can give you an idea of the grinding costs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-table\"><table><tbody><tr><td>Stump Size<\/td><td>Price<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>11\u201d or less<\/td><td>$190-$250<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>12\u201d-23\u201d<\/td><td>$230-$330<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>24\u201d-35\u201d<\/td><td>$310-$410<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>36\u201d-47\u201d<\/td><td>$390-$490<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>48\u201d-60\u201d<\/td><td>$460-$720<\/td><\/tr><\/tbody><\/table><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Cost_of_Stump_Grinding_According_to_Size\"><\/span>Cost of Stump Grinding According to Size<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>The biggest factor for determining the cost of stump removal will be its diameter. The price of stump grinding can range between $2-$5 per inch of the stump\u2019s diameter. But keep in mind that if you are dealing with a smaller stump, most services have a minimum rate of $75-125 to cover their transportation and labor costs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Always measure the stump from its widest point to get a better idea of the maximum cost you can expect.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Number_of_Stumps\"><\/span>Number of Stumps<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Most professional services will not linearly add up the stump grinding costs. Once the cost of the first stump has been calculated, they will add a nominal rate of $65-$120 per extra stump. Of course, this can change if one of the stumps is especially large.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Some services also charge on an hourly basis, in this case, you don\u2019t have to necessarily pay extra for each stump. If the team <a href=\"https:\/\/theyardable.com\/how-many-stumps-can-grind-in-a-day\/\" target=\"_blank\" data-type=\"post\" data-id=\"1331\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">manages to grind 4 stumps in 2 hours<\/a>, then you will only pay for the 2 hours. The hourly rates usually are around $150.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Tree_Species\"><\/span>Tree Species<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Some tree species are especially harder to grind which can drive up the grinding cost for you. For example, hardwoods like elm or hickory are much denser compared <a href=\"https:\/\/theyardable.com\/remove-palm-tree-stump\/\" target=\"_blank\" data-type=\"post\" data-id=\"686\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">to palm tree stumps<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>While some professionals have a flat charge per inch of the stump, some services can change this depending on the species they are dealing with.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Post_Cleanup\"><\/span>Post Cleanup<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>If you want the professional service to take off the post grinding process of cleanup as well, it can end up costing you $2-4 per inch of the stump for debris removal.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"The_Terrain\"><\/span>The Terrain<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>If your stump grinding service is not charging by the hour, chances are that they will increase their price if your area is hard to access, hilly or hard to work upon. It is a good negotiation tactic to confirm the prices beforehand especially if you know that your backyard or property will be hard to work upon.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Time_of_the_Year\"><\/span>Time of the Year<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>If you hire a stump grinding service during the off-season, you can get 30-40% discounts on grinding costs because of lack of demand.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Conclusion\"><\/span>Conclusion<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>The average stump grinding costs range between $150-$450, with each extra stump ranging from $65-$120. The cost of stump grinding can depend on factors such as its size, wood quality, terrain, the number of stumps, and the time it will take for the service to get it done.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>recommended reading: <\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul><li><a href=\"https:\/\/theyardable.com\/average-cost-of-tree-removal\/\" data-type=\"post\" data-id=\"971\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">How much does tree removal services cost<\/a><\/li><li><a href=\"https:\/\/theyardable.com\/how-to-negotiate-tree-removal\/\" target=\"_blank\" data-type=\"post\" data-id=\"1255\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">How to negotiate tree removal<\/a><\/li><\/ul>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>If you wish to get rid of the leftover stump from your property, one of the most efficient and effective methods is stump grinding.
