FAQ

  • How much does stump grinding cost?

    Our jobs start at a $150 base price for stump grinding. Most single stumps in the Metro Detroit area range from $150 to $400 depending on size, location, and access. Larger projects with multiple stumps are quoted on-site for accuracy.

  • What’s included in the $150 minimum?

    The $150 covers mobilization, safety setup, and stump grinding down to a standard depth. Final pricing adjusts based on stump size, access, and job complexity.

  • How deep do you grind stumps?

    We grind generally 6–16 inches below ground level—suitable for replanting grass or landscaping. Do you need something more substantial for future projects, such as patios or tree replanting? Just let us know.

  • What happens to the wood chips after grinding?

    Wood chips are left neatly piled or spread over the hole. Many homeowners reuse them as mulch, or let them break down naturally. Hauling chips away isn’t part of the standard service but can be arranged separately.

  • Can you access stumps in tight areas?

    Yes. Our compact, tracked Vermeer SC70TX grinder is designed to fit through most gates and operate in tight yards, minimizing lawn damage.

  • Why remove a stump instead of leaving it?

    Stumps can attract pests, cause regrowth, become trip hazards, and dull mower blades. Grinding removes those hazards and helps restore the usability and appearance of your yard.
