What Is Stump Removal?

Stump removal is the complete extraction of a tree stump and its root system from the ground. Unlike stump grinding — which leaves roots in place — stump removal clears everything, leaving a hole that can be backfilled for a truly fresh start.

It's more labor-intensive and costs more than grinding, but it's the right choice for specific situations where a completely clean excavation is needed.

When to Choose Stump Removal Over Grinding

→
New Construction: Building a foundation, driveway, or patio where roots would interfere.
→
Replanting: You want to plant a new tree in exactly the same spot.
→
Root Problems: Roots are heaving pavers, blocking drainage, or damaging structures.
→
Complete Landscaping Renovation: You need a fully cleared area for a total redesign.

Pricing

Stump removal costs more than stump grinding due to the added labor and equipment requirements. Typical range in the Chicago area is $300–$800+ per stump, depending on size and root extent.

Stump Removal FAQs

Stump grinding chips the stump below grade and leaves the roots to decompose. Stump removal extracts the entire stump and root system — it's more invasive but leaves a completely clean slate.
