Or I am putting together an estimate for removing 8 or 9 stumps for a regular client, I had mentioned it briefly in another thread and I felt it needed its own thread so I can ask for help.
It was mentioned by Sawman that stumps locally (he's about 1.5 hr drive from me) are $5 per inch. So going with that just as a starting point to see where I'm at, do I use the stump diameter at the top or at the base? And should I compensate for the height of the stump? They range from 26" to 48" at the top, which are 7" to 12" tall, and 36" to 60" at the bases. 7 are between 26" and 32" at the top, the other 2 are 41" and 48". The 48 was specifically requested along with the first 7, the last one (41") is on the other side of the yard and I figured I might as well price that one as well.
I am thinking of giving them 2 price options, grind & walk vs. grind and cleanup w/soil replacement and seed.
They did mention the possibility of breaking it up into 2 jobs if necessary to ease their wallet.
I'll run some numbers on all that later, I just got back from measuring the stumps and I have to run out for the afternoon.
Also, can anyone give me a rough idea of how much to add on for surface roots? There are a few that have to be chased out a few feet.
I have a question on how big of a grinder to rent also, I'll post on that later tonight.
Thanks in advance for the help.
