Why Remove Stumps?

Stumps can detract from the look and usability of your yard. They get in the way of new landscaping projects and can be tripping hazards, turning what should be clear paths into obstacle courses. Even when they look nice, tree stumps can attract pests, or worse, when they begin to rot.

Unremoved tree stumps also make lawn care tougher and more expensive. It’s harder to mow and maintain the area, which means more work and higher costs.

Getting rid of these stumps clears up your space, making it safer and giving you a blank slate for new plants or any outdoor feature you’ve been thinking about. Removing them helps you tidy up your landscape and makes maintaining it a whole lot easier. We grind unwanted stumps and roots 6” to 12” below grade, usually taking half an hour to two hours, depending on the stump size.

FAQs

Yes, you may remove tree stumps from your New York property; however, the process will vary in method based on the size and intricacy of the stump. You could deal with small stumps yourself using methods like grinding, digging, or using chemicals. Large stumps with big roots are best left to professionals to ensure safe and adequate extraction. This will help you avoid some potential problems: regrowth of the tree or pest damage in that area.

If you’re working within 50 feet of a tree on New York City property, you need to know that you will have to obtain a permit with the Parks & Recreation Department.

These regulations, along with others, make hiring professional stump removal services very important. Otherwise, this might lead to fines that may be imposed.

In most cases, grinding a stump will be less expensive than the complete removal of the stump. The process of grinding cuts down the stump to levels below the ground; it allows retention of the roots while being a less involving process and hence cheaper, costing approximately $100 to $400, depending on the size of the stump. On the contrary, removal entails the whole stump and root extraction, which is quite complex and more costly, hence ranging between $200 and $700 or even more.

How much it is per inch depends on the company and could vary based on accessibility, but the average cost is generally a price based upon the width of the stump at ground level. For example, some services charge a flat rate per inch of the stump’s diameter, taking into consideration accessibility and the condition of the stump.
