FAQs
What’s the difference between removal and grinding?
Grinding involves the use of specialized equipment to grind down the stump to below ground level (6 to 18 inches below the level of the ground). However, the roots remain intact. These will eventually decay naturally. This is an affordable, fast and minimally invasive method to get rid of
stumps. It is a popular choice for residential properties.
Removal involves taking the stump out of the ground, including its root system. This requires the use of heavy equipment and often significant labor. It is therefore often more expensive and causes a lot of disruption. It is ideal for instances where the space will be used for construction, replanting, or even hardscaping. It is also a good solution in cases where root systems are interfering with utilities, foundations, and more.
How much does stump grinding cost?
The cost per stump in Issaquah and the greater Seattle area ranges from $150 to $500.
