If you have recently cut down a tree or two in your yard, you most likely are left with a stump sitting in the middle of your lawn. Of course, your goal in cutting down that tree likely wasn’t so you would have a built-in stump fixture in your yard, and so you may now be looking at tree stump removal cost to see what is involved with this process. You will want to take a closer look at this cost to see if it will be worth your time and effort to grind the stump down yourself or if it’s better to hire a professional to do it for you.

 

When considering tree stump removal, you may be able to remove the stump and roots of the tree by pulling it straight out of the ground. However, even a tree that is only a few years old may have a decent root system established in a place, and this can make it close to impossible to really pull the stump and roots out without renting some heavy-duty machinery. Another option to consider is grinding the stump and roots up. This way, the larger pieces can be hauled away, and you can fill in the hole with topsoil and cover it with sod.

 

The cost for professional services to grind down a single stump is about $330 or so, and this will depend on the size of the stump and the cost of services in your local area. You should keep in mind that the cost to rent a machine to grind down the stumps yourself is generally higher than this. So, when you consider whether to do this task yourself or hire a professional to do the job for you, generally you can save yourself both time and money to have a pro do it for you. After the stump is removed or ground down, you will want to cover the area with topsoil and perhaps sod, too.

 

So then, who do you call to get a specific estimate for your own tree stump removal cost? There are several tree service professionals who can provide this service for you, and often many lawn and maintenance professionals may be able to provide the service for you, too. You will want to get a quote for the cost of services in your area as well as the cost to rent a grinding machine before making your own decision about whether to hire a pro for the job or do it yourself, but generally it is more cost effective to have a specialist do the work for you.
