What Changes the Price
Grinding cost rises with diameter because the machine has to cut a wider, deeper swath.
Grinding chips the stump in place. Full removal extracts the root ball and costs 2-3x more.
Removing several stumps in one visit lowers the per-stump price because setup is shared.
Stumps in tight backyards behind fences take longer to reach and can raise the price.
Exposed roots that lift patios and driveways may need extra grinding or root chasing.
Hauling away grindings and leveling the hole is an optional add-on, usually $75-$150.
