What is the Average Cost of Stump Removal?
The cost of stump removal can vary depending on many factors. However, the stump’s size is an important factor in the final bill.
The cost of the job can also be affected by factors such as the actual number of stumps that need to be pulled, how long it takes to finish, terrain accessibility, type of tree(s) involved, and whether any debris needs to be trucked off site.
Our tree stump removal machine is a high-tech piece of tree service equipment and needs to be maintained every week. Part of the reason why it seems so costly to have your stump(s) removed is due to the ongoing maintenance of the equipment.
It takes about 20% longer to grind down hardwood stump species like white oak, maple, and ash to the ground than softer coniferous tree stumps, such as Douglas Fir, Eastern White Pine, and sugar pines.
Nutmeg State homeowners spend on average, $275.00 per stump grinded. Prices range from $180.00 up to $470.00 for each stump. Large diameter stumps can cost more than $600.00.

Complete Stump Removal
Connecticut Tree Care believes in being thorough. A significant portion of our tree care customers opt for total stump removal so their lawns and landscaping can be as stunning as they can be! To accomplish this request we need to bring in our CAT 310 mini-excavator to get the job done.
On humungous tree stump removals we are forced to bring in the “big guns” by using our standard-sized CAT Model 320 GC. Removing the entire stump and partial root system in one shot allows our customers to refill the excavation with clean fill and topsoil.
Tree Root Removal
To expose as many roots possible, we start by excavating the stump. To remove the tap roots, our team uses chainsaws, hatchets or handsaws.
CT Tree Care may have already removed the stump with attached sinker and heart roots. In these cases, the whole process of removing the fine root system and the lateral roots is much more straightforward and less costly.
Our workers will keep digging until they locate smaller, lateral roots where they use clippers or even loppers to cut out the remaining roots. Now the stump can be pulled out once you have cut the supporting root system around it.
Our team will clean-up the stump base and make your yard look like we were never even there!

Frequently Asked Questions About Stump Grinding
Is stump removal different from stump grinding?
In Stump Grinding our crew grinds stumps into small pieces using a machine that is specialized in the grinding down of stumps. While the stump remains in place once we are done, the pieces will be significantly smaller and less inclined to contact ground. It’s a great option for those who want to plant in the same spot again, as well as those concerned about damaging underground utilities.
Stump Removal is a more involved process than grinding. Removal involves the excavation and rooting out of all stumps. This can be done when the stump has grown to a large size or in an extremely difficult location. It is more expensive than stump grinders, and may not be the best choice for all.
Is it possible to plant a new tree at the location where my stump was removed?
Absolutely. We can prepare the area for planting by leveling it out, if desired. Our team can assist you with any requirements you may have. Simply inform us of your needs and we will handle it for you.
What kind of machinery is brought in for eliminating my tree stumps?
Our approach involves using specialized stump grinding equipment, which is specifically designed to expedite and streamline the removal of tree stumps. These machines are equipped with sizable blades that rotate at high velocities to pulverize the stump until it is level with the ground. Additionally, we utilize root removal machinery to eliminate any remaining roots to help keep the average cost of your stump and root removal down to an affordable level!
Is grinding down my stump included in the cost of my tree removal?
Although it’s probably a good idea to have your stump removed simultaneously with the tree to save on costs, stump grinding is not included with tree removal service and must be requested as a separate service. We can offer a discounted bundled service if you opt for both services at the same time.
Is it OK to leave my stump instead of removing it or grinding it down?
Although stumps may be used in landscaping as decorative elements, they are not recommended for your property. It may be difficult to maintain your lawn and make it unappealing. Because stumps attract pests that can create problems, you need to think about other aspects. To prevent potential problems, you should have stumps either removed in whole or ground down to mulch and chips.
What is the average time frame to complete a stump removal?
Unfortunately, all stumps were not created equal! The diameter of the stump(s), type of wood species and its location will affect the time taken to get it removed. Before we start any grinding or removal work, you will receive a detailed written estimate with an explanation for each itemized cost.
When grinding down my stump, how much do you grind it down?
The majority of the time we grind down between 12 and 18 inches below grade, providing enough soil depth to support new grass growth. If you’re trying to watch your wallet, we also provide a shallow depth removal option where we go 6 inches below your lawn. While this is a cost-saving alternative, it does not support grass growth, and we suggest it for stumps in the woods line or perimeter of the lawn.
