Pricing table
What different stump jobs cost
These are planning numbers, not a blind final invoice. We confirm the final price after reviewing the stump, access, photos, and cleanup expectations.
| Job type | Typical price | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| Small stump under 10 inches | Starts at $120 | Good benchmark for small, simple stumps with standard access. |
| Common residential stump | $120–$420 | Typical range before special access, extra height, or cleanup requirements. |
| 10+ stumps | $5/inch | Qualifying multi-stump jobs use reduced per-inch pricing instead of $7/inch. |
| Tall stump or difficult access | Quoted after review | Height, slopes, tight backyard gates, soft clay, or unusual access can change the final quote. |
| Extra cleanup or finishing | Quoted separately | Helpful if you want a cleaner finish, haul-off, backfill, or prep for landscaping. |
Example Jobs
How to get a better quote
Most jobs are not complicated. The price usually comes down to stump size, access, and how clean you want the area left. Use these examples as a planning guide before you enter measurements in the calculator.
Small stump, easy access
Starts around $120
Under 10 inches, cut low, and easy to reach. This is the simple job our starting price is built around.
The stump left after tree removal
$120–$420
This is the common yard cleanup job. We check the diameter, root flare, height, gate width, slope, and how you want the area finished.
Several stumps on one visit
$5/inch may apply
When the stumps are on the same property and access is clear, 10+ stumps can qualify for reduced per-inch pricing.
These examples are here to help you plan. Send a few photos and measurements when you want the actual number.
How to measure
Measure across the widest part of the stump
The most useful number is the full width of the stump and root flare, not only the flat cut surface. A clear photo with a tape measure helps us confirm the quote faster.
- Measure across the widest part of the stump or root flare.
- Mention surface roots if you want them ground down too.
- Include a photo that shows the tape measure or another familiar object for scale.

Pricing factors
What changes the price?
The cheapest jobs are small, low, easy-access stumps with simple cleanup. Price rises when the stump or site needs more work.
Diameter
Wider stumps and broad poplar, spruce, or aspen root flares take more grinding time.
Stump count
Multiple stumps can lower the per-inch price, especially on 10+ stump jobs.
Stump height
Tall stumps can require chainsaw prep before the grinder can do its work.
Access
Backyard gate width, slope, Edmonton-area clay, soft ground, and working room all affect the plan.
Cleanup level
Leaving grindings on site costs less than haul-off or extra finishing work.
Removal type
Standard stump grinding is usually less involved than full stump and root removal.
Grinding vs removal
Do I need stump grinding or full removal?
Grinding removes the visible stump below grade and is usually enough for sod, mulch, rock, or landscaping. Full stump removal means excavating the stump and root mass, which is more invasive and usually costs more.
What is included?

- Review of stump size, photos, access, and cleanup expectations
