Boise has some of the valley’s oldest trees, from the big shade trees that line the older in-town neighborhoods to the cottonwoods and pines that grow along the foothills and the river. When one of those trees comes down, the stump it leaves behind is usually a big one, and getting rid of it takes the right equipment. That’s the work we do. We grind stumps across Boise so yards are usable again, and we leave the area tidy when we’re done.
Stump grinding in Boise
Our stump grinding takes a stump down below ground level, usually several inches under the surface, so you can cover the spot with soil, sod, or gravel and use it again. We chase surface roots that stick up through the lawn, and we can grind out a whole row of stumps if a hedge or a line of trees came out. Big stumps from older trees are no problem — we work through them in passes rather than rushing and leaving a mess behind.
When a stump needs to come out completely instead of being ground down — for a driveway, a patio, a new foundation, or replanting in the same spot — we also do full stump removal, digging the stump and root ball out so the ground is clear for building. If you are not sure which option fits your job, tell us what you have planned and we will tell you honestly which one makes sense.
What the job looks like
Most Boise jobs go like this: you send us a photo of the stump and a rough idea of its size, and we give you a quote. On the day, we bring the grinder through the gate — most standard gates are wide enough, and if access is tight we will talk through the options before we start. We grind the stump down, rake the chips level, and clean up before we go. If you want the chips hauled off or the hole filled and leveled, let us know when you ask for the quote so we can include it.
For property managers, HOAs, and tree companies in Boise
If you look after rentals, an HOA, or a list of properties around Boise, stumps tend to pile up on the to-do list. We are glad to work through several at a time, and we can keep the scheduling simple so you are not chasing us down. Tree companies that need a reliable stump crew for their own customers can send their overflow our way — see our page for tree companies to set up a referral arrangement.
What does stump grinding cost in Boise?
Most jobs in the valley run $100–$400 per stump, depending on the stump’s size, how many there are, and how easy the access is. Our cost guide explains the factors that move a price up or down. For an exact number on your stump, the best step is to ask for a quote — it is free, and there is no obligation. If you’d rather talk it through first, our Contact page has the same form and a few things that help us quote accurately.
We also work in nearby Meridian and Eagle, and across the rest of the Treasure Valley. If your stump is in a different part of town, it is still the same process: photo, size, quote.
