You must first acknowledge the factors responsible for stump grinding cost.

Factors Affecting the Stump Grinding Cost

1. Size of the Stump

Size of the stump plays a big factor. This is due to the time it takes to grind away the hole stump. Obviously, the bigger the stump, the longer it takes, the more it costs. Larger stumps are also deeper in the ground. This will take our stop grinding machine longer to get the whole stump.

2. Root Complexities

Removing the roots as well can vary in price depending on the size of the root system. A more complex root system means more time. It will increase the cost of the removal. With large above ground root systems, it does look alot better removing all the roots. Usually, removing the root system will range from $100 to $400 more. For an accurate quote, simply text a photo to 0444532040 for a same day quote.

3. Tree Type

Tree species vary. There are hard wood trees that are alot harder to remove the stump. To name a few they’re Eucalyptus, Leopard Tree, Black Wattle, Waterhousea etc. Easier tree stumps to remove are most of the palm tree family. The wear and tear of the equipment and the time it takes to remove the tree stump will depend on the final price.

4. Consider the Time of the Year

You can get your stump grinding and removal work done in the winter. It is the cheapest time to get rid of the stump and damaged tree. This is the season when tree services are less in demand. Why you say. A few reasons, trees don’t grow as fast in winter, therefore they aren’t as messy. Also, people spend less time outside, so as the old saying goes “Out of sight, out of mind” You can save almost 20% on the stump grinding and removal service in the winter. However, the stump grinding cost and the stump removal cost will both vary even in this season.

5. Location

Rural regions are usually further away from most companies. If you live in a remote area or if there are just a few arborists in the region, the cost for this to remove your tree stump is usually higher.

This is due to travel expenses too and less competition in the area. We have seen remote location Stump grinding companies charge up to 50% more.

6. Soil Condition of Your Property

The houses located on the rocky terrain will attract an additional charge along with the stump grinding and removal. This is due to the extra wear and tear on our equipment. Each Tungstan steel tooth cost $28, one rocky stump removal job can damage 10 teeth.

Although, there are many factors that go into the final price for stump removal. Its best to send ASAP Stump Grinding a text to 0444532040. You will get a same day quote, giving you comfort knowing the final price to complete the job.
