How the estimate works
The calculator multiplies the stump diameter in inches by a reference rate for the wood type, then adjusts for access and root removal. Hardwood like oak and maple is denser than pine, so it costs more per inch.
Five or more stumps get a 15% discount, and a $180 minimum applies per visit.

Calculator questions
How do I measure a stump for this calculator?
Measure across the widest point at ground level, including the root flare where the trunk spreads into roots. If your stumps vary, enter the average.
Why is there a minimum fee?
Every visit has the same setup: loading and transporting the grinder, setting up screens and cleaning up. The $180 minimum is per visit, not per stump, so it only applies to small jobs.
Do I get a discount for multiple stumps?
Yes. The calculator applies a 15% bulk discount at 5 or more stumps because setup and travel are shared across the job.
What does root removal add?
Grinding out the surface roots around a stump takes much longer than the stump itself, so the calculator adds 75% per stump. It is worth it before laying sod, a patio or a garden bed.
Is the calculator price a quote?
No. It is a planning estimate from reference rates. Access, rocks, utilities and what happens to the grindings change the final price, which we confirm after seeing the stumps.
