FOUR DETAILS THAT SHAPE YOUR QUOTE
Every yard is a little different.
- Size & root spread
- Measure the widest part at ground level, including flared roots. For the lowest possible bid, have stumps cut to 6 inches or less above ground whenever possible. Flush-cutting a stump that is too tall to grind as-is carries an additional charge.
- Access to your yard
- Gate openings, tight turns and slopes affect access. A photo of the route helps Matt plan the work.
- Nearby obstacles
- Show paving, beds, rocks and structures. Mention irrigation or other private underground lines. Before grinding, remove landscape rocks for at least 3 feet around the outside edge of the stump. Include settled rocks in your photos so Matt can review the preparation needed.
- Your next step
- Planning grass, a garden or construction? Tell Matt so you can agree on the grinding scope.
WHY SITE DETAILS CHANGE THE QUOTE
Same measurement.
A very different setup.
An open-lawn stump and a stump wrapped around a fence post can call for different preparation, even if their base widths match. In this photo, the post and nearby deck affect how the work can be approached.
Point out embedded metal and anything that must stay. Matt can review clearance, discuss any access or fence work needed first, and quote the agreed scope. A photo like this helps explain the job much better than a measurement by itself.
THE WORK & THE FINISH
Know what your quote covers.
Grinding and cleanup are part of the visit. Plan the next stage of your yard separately, and see the stump-grinding process and inclusions before you compare quotes.
IN YOUR QUOTE
Grinding & cleanup
- Grinding the stump and agreed surface roots
- Tarps and shields during grinding
- Raking and blowing around the work area
- Grindings left in a neat pile
PLAN SEPARATELY
Hauling & lawn repair
For standalone stump grinding, plan these separately:
- Hauling away the grindings
- Replacement soil and grading
- Seeding, sod or new planting
- Further landscaping or construction preparation
When stump grinding is done at the same time as tree removal managed by Matt, mulch cleanup and hauling are included. Discuss a combined tree and stump project.
