FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

During our estimate visit, we will determine the cost of the stump grinding. A number of factors will contribute to the calculation of the price, including: the number of trees stumps, any roots involved, how large the stump is, the time involved, and how difficult of an area it is to get into.

Depending on the size of the stump, a substantial amount of wood chips can be left over. There are a couple of options that can be done with the chips. The cheapest option is to be left to fill the hole where the stump was. They will eventually break down over time. The chips can also be mixed with top soil and added to your flower beds or gardens and makes excellent fertilizer. The chips can also be composted and over time make a great compost addition.

The location of the stump can be a challenge in some cases. Too close to the homes foundation, next to a fence or other trees. We will pay special attention to these obstacles and our estimator will walk you through the process we will use to safely remove the stump.
