Diameter at grade
Measured across the widest point of the stump at ground level, not the tree's old trunk size. This is the single biggest factor.
Our services
Stumps gone. Yard back.
We do two things and we do them well: grind stumps down below grade, and haul the mess out so you're left with usable ground instead of a crater full of chips. Serving Spokane and the surrounding area.
Stump Grinding
Grind it down, level it off, walk away with a flat yard.
Our grinder chews the stump and the surface roots down below ground level so you can mow over the spot, plant grass, or just stop looking at it. Most single stumps are a same-visit job.
What's included
-
Utility-safe setupWe confirm locates are in place and probe the work area before the wheel turns.
-
Grinding below gradeStandard depth takes the stump under the surrounding soil line so turf and roots can be planted over it.
-
Surface root flareThe visible roots running out from the base get ground down too, not just the trunk.
-
Chip backfillGrindings are raked back into the hole and tamped level unless you want them removed.
-
Property protectionPlywood tracking over soft turf, and shielding around siding, fences, and windows.
-
Blow-down cleanupWalks, drives, and patios cleared before we pull out.
Stump Removal & Cleanup
Chips hauled off, hole backfilled, ground ready for whatever's next.
Grinding one stump generates a surprising pile of chips — often several times the volume of the stump itself. Removal and cleanup is the option where we take that material with us and leave you clean, compacted soil instead.
What's included
-
Everything in stump grindingThis builds on the grinding service, it doesn't replace it.
-
Chip and debris haul-offGrindings loaded out and disposed of, not piled at the curb.
-
Root and wood removalLarger surface roots and trunk chunks pulled rather than left buried.
-
Topsoil backfillThe void filled with clean soil and tamped so it doesn't sink over the next season.
-
Grade matchFinished level with the surrounding yard, ready for seed, sod, or a new planting.
-
Final walkthroughWe look at the finished spot with you before we leave.

Grinding vs. removal & cleanup
Removal builds on grinding — it's the same work on the stump, plus taking the material away and putting real soil back.

What drives the price
Every stump prices differently — here's why
We don't quote stump work off a flat rate, because two stumps the same width can be an hour apart in real work. These are the things we look at when we put a number on your job.
Root flare spread
Some species throw wide surface roots that add several feet of grinding beyond the stump itself.
Grinding depth
Standard below-grade depth costs less than the deeper cut needed for concrete, footings, or a replacement tree.
Access
Gate width, slope, stairs, and how far the machine has to travel from the truck. Tight backyard access takes a smaller machine and more time.
Obstacles nearby
Fences, sprinkler heads, utilities, retaining walls, and buried lines all mean slower, more careful work.
Soil and debris in the stump
Stumps with rock, embedded gravel, or old fill packed into the roots are hard on teeth and slow to cut.
Stump count
Several stumps on one visit spread the setup and travel across the job, lowering the per-stump cost.
Cleanup level
Chips raked back in is the base. Haul-off, topsoil backfill, and grade matching add material and disposal.
