Stump Grinding in Jacksonville
$75–$350 · flat quote before work starts

Stump Grinding — common questions
How much does stump grinding cost?
A single average stump in Jacksonville runs $75-$150. Stumps over 24 inches in diameter or with extensive surface roots can run $175-$350. Discounts apply when grinding several stumps in one visit.
Can I plant grass or a new tree where the stump was?
Yes. After grinding, rake out the chips, add topsoil, and sod or seed. Wait at least 6 months before planting a new tree in the same spot, as decomposing wood temporarily draws nitrogen from the soil.
Does stump grinding remove all the roots?
The grinder removes the stump and major surface roots. Deep lateral roots are left in place and decompose on their own over several years. For most residential uses, this is more than sufficient.
