FAQ

Common questions

How much does stump removal cost?
Angi puts the 2026 national average at $369, with most homeowners paying $195 to $609, usually figured at $2 to $5 per inch of stump diameter (Angi). See the cost guide.
Can I really get a quote from a photo?
For most residential stumps, yes. A photo with something for scale (a shoe or tape measure), plus a note about gate width and anything nearby like fences or sprinkler lines, is usually enough for a pro to give a price or a tight range.
Grinding or full removal: which do I need?
Grinding chews the stump down several inches below grade and is the usual choice for lawns and garden beds. Full removal digs out the root ball and costs more; it's typically for when you're building, pouring concrete or planting a new tree in the same spot.
What happens to the wood chips?
Grinding leaves a pile of chips and soil. Many homeowners use them as mulch. Ask each pro whether cleanup, hauling and topsoil are included, since Angi notes cleanup can add $1 to $4 per diameter inch.
