Stump Grinding Cost Calculator
Get an instant ballpark for stump grinding, grading & sod replacement in Florida.
Answer 4 quick questions for your personalized price range.
How many stumps?
Multiple stumps share mobilization, so per-stump cost drops with quantity.
How wide is the largest stump?
Diameter measured at ground level. Estimate the largest one.
What kind of wood?
Hardwoods take longer to grind. Bottom of the range = softwood; top = hardwood.
How accessible are the stumps?
Can the grinder roll up to them, or is there a gate or slope in the way?

Florida stump-grinding jobs typically run $175 to $550 per stump, with most homeowners landing in the $275 to $400 band on a single medium stump. The calculator above gives you a personalized ballpark in seconds — here’s the pricing logic behind it.
Stump Grinding Price by Diameter
| Stump Size | Diameter at Ground | Typical Price |
|---|---|---|
| Small | Under 12 inches | $175 – $275 |
| Medium | 12 – 24 inches | $275 – $400 |
| Large | 24 – 36 inches | $400 – $550 |
| Very Large | 36 inches and up | $500 – $750 |
Per-inch, that’s roughly $4–$6 per inch of diameter in Florida, with a $175 minimum charge covering the cost of mobilizing a commercial grinder. The bottom of each range applies to softwoods (pine, palm, citrus, magnolia); the top to hardwoods (oak, hickory, elm).
Multi-Stump Discount
If you have more than one stump, the per-stump cost drops because we mobilize once. The first stump covers the trip charge; the rest are priced closer to actual grinding time. Roughly:
- 2–3 stumps: ~8% per-stump savings
- 4–6 stumps: ~18% per-stump savings
- 7+ stumps: ~28% per-stump savings
Common Add-Ons
| Add-On | Typical Price |
|---|---|
| Same-day chip haul-away | $50 – $150 (per job) |
| Yard grading after grinding | $300 – $1,200 (depends on area) |
| Sod replacement (~50 sq ft patch) | $45 – $80 |

What Else Moves the Number
- Below-grade depth. Standard grind is 4–6 inches below the surrounding lawn. Deeper for replanting (8–12 inches) costs more.
- Access. A 36-inch gate forces a walk-behind grinder, which is slower. Tight backyards, steep slopes, or roots near utilities all add labor.
- Wood hardness. Oak and hickory wear teeth faster than pine or palm. Palm fiber is soft but eats cutters — we may rotate teeth mid-job.
- Cleanup. Whether the chip pile stays on site for mulch, gets spread, or hauled away.
