Stump Removal Cost Calculator

If you’re considering stump removal for the first time, you might be wondering how much the project will cost. Our stump removal cost calculator is a helpful tool to give you an estimate and assist with your planning.

However, it’s important to note that every stump removal job is unique. Factors such as the stump’s size, type, number, accessibility, and the chosen method of removal can all influence the final cost.

Rest assured, our team is here to provide expert advice and support throughout the process. We’re committed to offering fair and transparent pricing, ensuring you receive the best value for your stump removal needs.

How to Use the Stump Removal Cost Calculator

Removing tree stumps from your property has never been easier. Our Stump Removal Cost Calculator simplifies the process by providing an instant estimate based on key details such as the size of the stump, quantity, removal method, and accessibility. Simply enter the required information, and you’ll receive a tailored cost estimate in seconds.

Enter the Stump Diameter

Measure the diameter of the stump at its widest point in centimetres. This step is crucial, as the diameter directly impacts the complexity and cost of removal. Use a measuring tape for accuracy and input the value into the calculator.

Enter the Number of Stumps

If you have multiple stumps to remove, simply enter the total number. The cost will scale with the number of stumps, so providing the correct quantity ensures an accurate estimate.

Select the Service Type

Choose the type of service you require from the following options: Grinding Only, Complete Removal, Eco-Friendly Removal.
Each service involves different methods and costs, so selecting the correct one is essential.

Select the Type of Tree Stump

Indicate whether the stump comes from a hardwood or softwood tree. Hardwood stumps are typically denser and more challenging (and costly) to remove compared to softwood stumps.

Select the Accessibility Level

Choose the level of access to the stump:
Easy (no obstacles), Moderate (some challenges like uneven terrain),  Difficult (significant obstacles). Accessibility will influence the labour and equipment required, impacting the final cost.

Calculate the Cost

After filling in all fields, click the “Calculate” button. The estimated cost will appear below, providing a rough idea of what to expect.

How the Tree Removal Cost is Calculated

While our Stump Removal Cost Calculator provides a useful estimate, understanding the factors behind the calculation can give you better insight into the pricing. Here’s a breakdown:

Base Cost: The base cost is a fixed starting point for removing a stump, based on its size. Larger stumps increase the base cost:

  • Stumps up to 30 cm: £50

  • Stumps up to 60 cm: £75

  • Stumps over 60 cm: £100

Diameter Multiplier: The stump’s diameter affects the complexity of the removal. Larger stumps require more effort and equipment.

  • Up to 30 cm: Multiplier = 1.0

  • 31 to 60 cm: Multiplier = 1.2

  • Over 60 cm: Multiplier = 1.5

Service Type Multiplier: Different removal methods involve different processes, impacting the cost:

  • Grinding Only: Multiplier = 1.0

  • Complete Removal: Multiplier = 1.3

  • Eco-Friendly Removal: Multiplier = 1.5

Tree Type Multiplier: The type of tree stump affects the removal difficulty:

  • Hardwood: Multiplier = 1.2

  • Softwood: Multiplier = 1.0

Accessibility Multiplier: Ease of access influences the labour and time needed:

  • Easy: Multiplier = 1.0

  • Moderate: Multiplier = 1.2

Difficult: Multiplier = 1.5

The Final Calculation
Once all the details are entered, the calculator multiplies the base cost by the diameter, service type, tree type, and accessibility multipliers to estimate the total stump removal cost.

This formula gives you a rough idea of what to expect for your stump removal project.
