Should I DIY?

When it comes to stump removal, many people may consider renting a stump grinder to tackle the job themselves and save money. However, stump grinding is a challenging task that requires the right equipment, expertise, and safety precautions. Before deciding between DIY and hiring a professional, it’s important to weigh the risks and benefits of each option—especially since the cost to hire us can often be the same, or even less, than the price of a stump grinder rental.

Things to Consider if you DIY:

  • Dangerous
  • Cost of Rental (truck/trailer/grinder)
  • Learning curve
  • Will I do it properly?
