Common Questions
Stump grinding in Portland typically runs $150–$350 per stump for standard residential sizes (6–18 inch diameter). Large stumps (24 inch+) can run $400–$600. Multi-stump discounts apply for 3 or more stumps on the same property. We provide free quotes.
We grind to 12–18 inches below final grade as standard. This is sufficient for lawn installation, landscaping, and most construction applications. We can grind deeper (to 24 inches) for foundation-adjacent work at additional cost.
Yes. After grinding, the void is backfilled with a mix of wood chips and topsoil. The area can be seeded immediately. The wood chip fill breaks down over 12–18 months, after which the area is fully solid. We recommend light filling and topping with a second layer of topsoil 12 months later.
No. Once the stump is ground below grade, the root system is severed from its energy source and will not grow further. Remaining roots decay in place over several years, which is harmless and beneficial to soil structure.
