Stump Grinding and Removal in West Palm Beach
Typical stump: $100 to $350 depending on diameter
A stump left in the yard sprouts, attracts termites and carpenter ants, kills the mower blade, and makes it impossible to replant the spot. Grinding is faster and cleaner than digging it out and leaves the ground ready to use.
What stump grinding includes
- Grind the stump 6 to 12 inches below grade, deeper on request for planting.
- Chase surface roots that would otherwise show through sod or trip someone.
- Grindings raked back into the hole as fill, or hauled away and the hole topped with soil if you prefer.
- Locate underground utilities before grinding where lines are suspected. Florida law requires a Sunshine 811 locate request at least two full business days before mechanical digging, so stump grinding near known lines is scheduled after the locate.
- Grinders sized for tight access through a standard gate as well as large machines for big stumps.
Palm stumps
Palm stumps are fibrous and grind differently than hardwood. They are included at the same per-inch pricing and the grindings should be removed rather than used as mulch because they decompose slowly.
Pricing
Stump grinding in West Palm Beach typically runs $100 to $350 per stump depending on diameter measured at the ground, with a minimum charge for a single small stump and lower per-stump pricing for several. Cheapest when done the same day as the removal.
Grinding is cheapest the day the tree comes down, so mention it when booking a removal. For a stump already in the yard, measure it at the ground before you call (561) 454-8006 from anywhere in Palm Beach County.
