Stump Grinding FAQs

Here are answers to some of the most common stump grinding questions we hear from property owners in the Lake Norman area.

How much does stump grinding cost?

Stump grinding costs depend on the size, quantity, and accessibility of the stumps. Most residential projects range from $150 to $500 per stump. We provide free, detailed estimates that break down all costs upfront with no hidden fees or surprises.

Yes. Once the stump is ground 6-12 inches below ground level, the area can be filled with soil and replanted. The griding depth we use prevents regrowth and makes it possible to seed grass or add new landscaping when you’re ready. Many homeowners choose to spread grass seed after adding fresh soil, or simply let us know if you’d like help prepping the spot during your estimate.

Grinding produces wood chips that can be used as mulch for garden beds and landscaping. You can keep them for your property, or we can haul them away and leave the area clean. We’ll discuss your preference during the estimate.

Most single stumps can be ground in 30 minutes to 2 hours, depending on their size and the complexity of the root system. Multiple stumps or larger projects may take half a day. We’ll provide a time estimate with your quote so you can plan accordingly.
