Hi, Peter here. I often get asked ‘how much does it cost to remove a stump?’. In this post I am going to answer this question and explain the factors envloved that make up the cost of stump grinding. If you’ve recently had a tree cut down on your property, you may be wondering how much it will cost to have the stump ground down and removed. Stump grinding is a necessary step in the process of removing a tree from your property, and it’s important to understand what to expect in terms of cost.
Understanding Stump Grinding
Stump grinding is an effective way to remove the remaining stump of a tree after it has been cut down. The process involves using a stump grinding machine to grind down the stump to a depth of about 8-12 inches below ground level. This allows for easy removal of the stump and the surrounding root system, leaving your garden looking clean, tidy, and freeing up space for re-planting.
Factors Affecting the Cost of Stump Grinding
The cost of stump grinding will depend on a variety of factors, including the size of the stump and the type of machinery required to do the job. Generally speaking, larger stumps will cost more to grind down, as they require more time and effort to remove. Additionally, the condition of the stump can also affect the cost, as a decaying stump may require more work to grind down.
Average Cost of Stump Grinding
On average, the cost of stump grinding can range from £100 – £200 for a small stump. For a medium-sized stump, the average cost is between £200 and £400. For a large stump, the average cost is between £400 and £600. To get an accurate estimate, you can use our free estimate form and if possible, send a picture.
