Stump grinding in Lakeland and Polk County, FL
Free referral service: we connect you with independent local tree service providers. Calls may be recorded. How it works
Typical cost
HomeGuide lists stump grinding at $120 to $400 for the first stump and $30 to $60 for each additional stump. Very large stumps can run $300 to $800, and small stumps are often priced at $2 to $6 per inch with an $80 to $160 minimum.
Grinding vs. full removal
Grinding chews the stump below grade and leaves roots to decay; full extraction digs out the root ball and costs more labor. For most yards, grinding is enough to replant grass.
Before the grinder arrives
Contact Sunshine 811, Florida's free one-call service, before digging so member utility companies can mark their underground lines; ask your provider to confirm this was done. Mark sprinkler heads and lines near the stump.
Palm stumps
HomeGuide puts palm stump removal at $80 to $250, since palm root systems are smaller and fibrous.
