Stump Grinding- How we measure and calculate costs

We are often asked how we calculate pricing for stump grinding services. The short answer is it depends on a few factors; stump size, location, species, ground type (ie. rocky ground and steep slopes), surface roots and level of cleanup can affect the pricing. We have a basic formula taking into account a cost per linear inch which can give a rough idea of costs without needing a site visit. Additional costs can be incurred for chasing surface roots beyond the stump and is typically quoted as a second line item. We can provide full cleanup of wood chips/ mulch and debris and provide clearly defined pricing for this service. When comparing cost per inch between companies it is important to consider if surface root chasing, cleanup and rehabilitation of the site are included in all quotes.

How We Measure?

Measurements are taken with the root flare and mounding as per the photo below. Please note that if the ground is determined to be extremely rocky an additional charge may be be determined suitable due to the added wear and damage to stump grinding teeth.
