Last reviewed October 2026. Prices on this page are typical estimates for planning, not quotes. Independent pros set their own prices after seeing the job.
Old stumps get in the way of mowing, attract insects and sprout suckers. Stump grinding takes them below ground so you can lay sod, replant or build. Use the form to describe your stumps, and we'll pass your request to an independent tree service in the Tyler area.
What affects the price
- Diameter at ground level, the biggest single factor
- Number of stumps, since multiple stumps often get a per-stump discount
- Access, such as narrow gates, slopes or backyard fences that limit machine size
- Hardwood vs. pine and how much surface root needs grinding
- Cleanup, whether chips are hauled away and the hole backfilled
Tips before you book
- Measure each stump's width and note how many there are.
- Mark sprinkler heads, shallow pipes and cables near the stump.
- Make sure 811 utility locates are requested.
- Ask whether grinding is cheaper when added to a tree removal job.
Common questions
How much does stump grinding cost in Tyler, TX?
As a typical estimate, many stumps fall somewhere around $100 to $500 each, depending on diameter, root spread and access. Several stumps in one visit often lower the price per stump. These are planning ranges, not quotes.
How deep do they grind?
It varies by company and by what you plan to do with the spot. Many grind several inches below grade for lawn, and deeper if you plan to replant or build. Ask the pro to state the depth in the estimate.
What happens to the grindings?
Usually the chips are left in the hole or spread nearby unless you pay for haul-off and backfill with soil. Ask what's included.
Is grinding the same as stump removal?
No. Grinding chews the stump down below the surface and leaves the roots to decay. Full stump removal digs out the root ball and is usually more work and more expensive.
Should I mark utilities first?
Yes. Texas law requires calling 811 before digging, and many grinding companies will request locates themselves. Confirm who is responsible before work starts.
