The cost of stump removal isn’t always cut and dry. It can vary based on several factors, like the height and diameter of the stump to be removed.

Some species of trees have very large root balls, making it difficult to remove the old stump without stump grinding methods. Grinding machines are able to remove as many as eight inches below ground level, thus eliminating extensive root systems as well.

Before tree stump grinders were invented, farmers would take an axe to cut off small roots, then cut into the stump? Stump grinders streamlined the process significantly.

If you have a fireplace or a smoker, that old tree stump is an important source of wood for such uses. It can surely be used as firewood in case it has not begun to rot.

Stubborn or excessively wide stumps require the help of a backhoe to remove them. These usually require a company to pull the stump out of the yard with minimal lawn damage.
