Old stumps attract termites and carpenter ants, sprout suckers and wreck mower blades. A grinder turns the stump into mulch below the surface so you can reseed.
- Typical cost: $100-$400 per stump
- Ground 6-12 inches below grade
- Grinders fit 36-inch gates
- Call Tennessee 811 before grinding
How grinding works
A compact grinder fits through most 36-inch gates. The operator grinds the stump and surface roots 6 to 12 inches below grade, then rakes the grindings back in or hauls them away.
Pricing
Single stumps commonly run $100 to $400 depending on diameter and access; multiple stumps are discounted.
Rocky ground
Wilson County's limestone can sit right under the surface. Experienced operators adjust grind depth so they don't hit rock and damage equipment or your lawn.

Stump Grinding FAQ
Grinding or full stump removal?
Grinding is faster, cheaper and less destructive. Full extraction is only needed before building or pouring concrete.
Do I need to call 811 first?
Yes. Tennessee 811 marks underground utilities for free and is required before digging.
Is stump grinding worth it?
Usually yes: it removes trip and mower hazards, deters termites and lets you reseed in the same season.
What do you do with the hole after stump grinding?
Rake out excess chips, fill with topsoil, tamp and seed or sod.
