Stump grinding Services in Washington

Single Stump Grinding in Washington

We grind individual stumps down to 8-12 inches below ground level so you can cover the area with soil and seed. The wood chips can stay as mulch or we can remove them.

Multiple Stump Removal in Washington

If you had several trees taken down or you're clearing an area, we can grind multiple stumps in one visit. We give a better rate when there's more than one stump on the property.

Large Stump Grinding in Washington

Big old oaks, cottonwoods, and maples leave stumps that are 30 inches across or more. We have the equipment to handle large stumps and the roots that spread out from them.

Backyard and Tight Access in Washington

Our grinder fits through a 36-inch gate so we can reach stumps in fenced backyards. We use plywood or boards to protect your lawn if the ground is soft from rain.

Surface Root Grinding in Washington

Sometimes the roots near the surface make it hard to mow or they're lifting up your sidewalk. We can grind down exposed roots without having to remove the whole stump.

Stump Grinding and Cleanup in Washington

After we grind the stump, there's a pile of wood chips left behind. We'll rake and haul away the chips, fill the hole with topsoil, and leave the area ready for grass seed or sod.

How It Works

Contact Us for a Quote. Call or fill out the form with details about your stump. We'll ask about the diameter, location, and whether there's gate access. Most of the time we can give you a price right away or we'll stop by to take a look.

Schedule the Work. Once you approve the price, we'll set a day that works for you. We'll give you a time window and call ahead when we're on the way. Most jobs don't need you to be home, as long as we can access the stump.

Grind the Stump. We position the grinder and work the stump down in passes, grinding it below ground level along with the main roots. The process is loud and makes wood chips, but it's usually done in an hour or two depending on the size.

Clean Up the Area. We rake the wood chips into a pile and clean up the larger debris. If you're keeping the chips for mulch, we'll spread them where you want. If not, we load them up and haul them away.

Final Walkthrough. We'll make sure the area looks good and answer any questions about filling the hole or planting grass. You pay when the job is done and you're satisfied with the work.

What Stump Grinding Costs in Iowa City

Most stump grinding in Iowa City runs between $125 and $400 per stump depending on the size. A typical stump that's 12 to 20 inches across usually costs $150 to $250. Larger stumps over 30 inches can run $300 to $500 or more because they take longer and wear down the grinder teeth faster. If you have multiple stumps, the price per stump goes down because we're already on site. Difficult access like a steep slope or no gate to the backyard can add to the cost, and hauling away the wood chips instead of leaving them costs extra. The diameter of the stump at ground level is what matters most for pricing.
