No two jobs are priced exactly the same, but a few factors consistently move the number up or down:
To give you a general sense of the market, stump grinding across the Greater Toronto Area commonly falls somewhere between $150 and $700 per stump, with smaller stumps at the lower end and large, well-established stumps toward the higher end. Full stump removal, which involves digging out the entire root ball rather than grinding it down, tends to cost more, often ranging from $300 to over $1,000 depending on size and site conditions.
These figures are meant as a general guide, not a quote. The only way to know your exact stump removal prices is to have us take a look, either through photos or an on-site visit, so we can account for your property's specific conditions.
Grinding is almost always the more affordable option, and it's suitable for the vast majority of properties. It handles the visible stump and upper roots while leaving the rest to break down naturally underground.
Full removal costs more because it's a bigger job physically the entire root ball has to come out, which usually means heavier equipment and more time on site. We'll always recommend the option that actually fits your plans for the space, not just the more expensive one.
Stump grinding cost depends heavily on the specifics of each property, which is why we don't work from a fixed price list. Instead, we provide free, no-obligation quotes based on your stump's size, its location, and what you're planning to do with the space afterward. In many cases, all we need is a quick photo and a few details over a call or text to give you a solid estimate.
Most quotes are based on the stump's diameter, root spread, and how easy it is to access. Some jobs are priced per stump, while multi-stump properties are often quoted as a package.
Generally, yes. Full removal involves digging out the entire root ball, which takes more time and heavier equipment than grinding the stump down below grade.
Basic cleanup is included in our standard service. If you'd like the wood chips hauled away or the area backfilled with topsoil, let us know and we'll include that in your quote.
Often, yes. A few photos and some basic details, like the stump's approximate width, are usually enough for us to provide a solid estimate. For larger or more complex jobs, we may recommend a quick site visit.
Usually. Since our equipment is already on site, grinding several stumps in one visit is typically more cost-effective than booking separate appointments.
