What Is Stump Removal?
A leftover stump is more than an eyesore. It's a tripping hazard, a mower obstacle, and a spot where new sprouts and pests can take hold. Ashton Services provides stump removal and grinding for homes and businesses across Buffalo, NY, whether the stump is from a tree we just took down or one that's been sitting in your yard for years.
Most jobs are handled with a stump grinder, which breaks the stump down below ground level so you can reclaim the space without digging out the entire root system.
Stump Grinding vs. Stump Removal
Stump grinding uses a machine to chew the stump down to several inches below grade. It's faster, less disruptive to surrounding grass and landscaping, and is the right call for most residential and commercial jobs.
Full stump removal pulls the entire stump and major root system out of the ground. It leaves a bigger hole to fill but may be necessary if you're planning to build, pave, or replant in that exact spot.
We'll walk your property and recommend the right approach for what you're planning to do with the space.
Stump Removal Cost in Buffalo, NY
Pricing depends on the stump's diameter, root spread, and how accessible it is. As a general sense of industry-wide pricing:
- Small stumps: typically priced per stump on the lower end of the range
- Large or multiple stumps: priced based on total diameter and site access
- Bundled with tree removal: often more cost-effective than scheduling separately
