Diameter & number
Thicker stumps (at ground level, including visible roots) mean more work. With several stumps at one address, the price per stump is usually lower – the overall job is still larger.
Based on our quote form and the photos you send (form or WhatsApp) you receive a fixed price for stump grinding. No call-out fee – you know where you stand.

Costs typically fall between these amounts. On large stumps and grinding deeper than 20 cm (up to about 40 cm) the surcharge can be substantial.
These are guide prices only. The exact price follows from your photos, measurements and access. Every quote is a fixed contract price – no call-out fee.
What drives the price?
Grind depth
Standard about 20 cm. Deeper grinding to about 40 cm costs more.
Prep around the stump
Stones, tiles, concrete or metal around the stump: if you clear them yourself, it is not extra work. If we do it, we charge for that work.
Access (gate, path) rarely determines the price. What does matter: whether the stump is free to grind, or whether stone and tiles must be removed first.
Depth: 20 cm or 40 cm?
About 20 cm deep is almost always enough for paving, tiles, plants and lawn. That is our standard.
Deeper grinding to about 40 cm costs more. On large stumps that extra can be substantial – up to roughly double the standard price, depending on diameter and conditions.

Save with prep work and help
Prep work lowers the cost. The cleaner and freer the stump, the faster we can grind.
Clear stone and metal (± 50 cm)
Clear about 50 cm from the trunk around the stump of stone, tiles, concrete, rubble and metal. The grinder needs free soil or sand. Doing this yourself reduces the quote; we can do it (surcharge) but we do not relay paving.
Trench for 40 cm grinding
If we need to grind to about 40 cm, it helps if a trench around the stump is already dug. Less soil to move while grinding = faster and often cheaper.
Help with chips and soil
Grinding produces chips mixed with soil. If someone can shovel them aside between passes, we can keep grinding. That saves time and cost.
Cars and fragile items
Keep cars, bikes and glass away from the grinder. That avoids extra protection measures and keeps the job moving. See also preparation for stump grinding.
In short
- Guide price about € 275 (small) to € 875 (large / deep); with multiple stumps often lower per stump
- 20 cm deep: usually enough for lawn, tiles and plants
- 40 cm deep: surcharge; on large stumps sometimes substantial (up to ± double)
- Prep (50 cm clear, trench, help shovelling) reduces the price
- You always get a fixed quote after photos – no call-out fee
