Stump removal and grinding eliminates the leftover stumps after tree removal — or those old stumps that have sat in your yard for years. IronJaw grinds stumps below grade, eliminating trip hazards, making way for landscaping, and preparing the ground for construction or sod. Our stump grinder turns even the largest hardwood stump into wood chips in 20–45 minutes.
Stumps left in place create ongoing problems: they harbor termites and wood-boring insects, create trip hazards for children and pets, and leave your lawn mower with obstacles that prevent proper mowing. Grinding depth is typically 6–12 inches below grade — sufficient for landscaping and construction in most cases. Multiple stumps at the same mobilization receive volume pricing.

Common questions from homeowners, landscapers, and contractors about stump grinding and removal in the Lowcountry.
Call (854) 300-4979$150–$500 per stump depending on diameter. Small stumps (6–12" diameter): $150–$200. Mid-size (12–24"): $200–$350. Large stumps (24" and up): $350–$500. Volume discounts available when you have 5 or more stumps — the per-stump price drops significantly.
Standard grinding depth is 6–12 inches below grade — sufficient for lawn, landscaping, and most construction applications. Construction-depth grinding at 12–18 inches below grade is available for building pad areas where deeper material could interfere with foundations or slabs.
Grindings are typically left in place to fill the void and decompose naturally over 1–2 seasons. We can haul them off if you want a clean surface immediately — priced as an add-on. Most clients choose to leave them in place.
For 95% of situations, grinding is the correct answer. Complete root extraction is expensive, damages surrounding lawn, and is rarely necessary. Grinding eliminates the stump hazard and allows normal landscaping — that's all most situations require.
20–45 minutes per stump depending on diameter and wood hardness. Soft wood stumps go faster than dense hardwoods. A property with 5–6 stumps is typically finished in half a day, including cleanup.
