Before Getting a Stump Grinding Estimate in Mesa, Consider These Factors

There is an unsightly stump on your property that you want to be removed. But what will the price be? We'll go through these aspects in more detail below, but there are a number of things that influence how we generate a stump grinding estimate. If you have a tree stump in Mesa that needs to be ground, give the team at Bassett Tree Service a call.

The Size of the Stump

The size of the stump is one of the most important aspects to take into account when getting an estimate. To calculate the diameter of the visible portion of a stump, measure its widest point, which is normally at the bottom. But what about the part of the stump that’s underground? Some rootballs can grow to be ten times as large as the stump, which will cost more. 

Where the Stump Is Located

It will be substantially simpler to grind your stump if it is located in an open area. It gets more difficult when stumps are close to buildings and other structures. For our stump grinders to grind and remove the stump without harming any nearby structures, it will take more time, resources, and money. In rocky and sloped terrain, there is a risk that the grinding equipment will be damaged, which will increase the cost.

The Type of Stump

Another significant expense issue to take into account is the type of stump you have. The wood of elm and hickory trees is harder and denser, making it more difficult to grind. Due to their soft wood, pine trees are significantly easier to cut down.
