A leftover stump is more than an eyesore — it's a tripping hazard, a magnet for termites and wood-boring beetles, and a lawn mower obstacle. Our stump removal service removes stumps to 6–8 inches below grade, eliminating the visible stump and the root crown. We serve all of Augusta, Richmond County, and the surrounding CSRA communities.

Stump removal in Augusta runs $100 to $400 for grinding and more for full extraction, because pulling the root ball out is excavation rather than grinding. homeyou reports Augusta stump work at a typical $92 to $121 with a spread of $78 to $135, and ProMatcher lists about $3.14 per diameter inch. Grinding takes the stump 6 to 12 inches below grade and leaves the roots to decay, which is enough for turf or mulch. Full removal takes the root plate out and is only necessary if you are pouring concrete, building, or planting a new tree in the same spot. Homeowners report around $150 for a small grind and up to $700 for large multi-stem stumps. Ask which one a quote covers — that single word explains most price differences.

Grinding is the right answer for most situations and full extraction only for a few, so the question is worth settling before you get quotes. Grinding takes the stump 6 to 12 inches below grade and leaves the root system to decay in place, which is enough for lawn, mulch beds or replanting a few feet away. Full removal takes the root plate out and is necessary in three cases: you are pouring concrete or building a structure over that exact spot, you are planting a new tree in the same hole, or utilities or a footing require the ground to be clear. Because extraction is excavation rather than grinding, it costs substantially more and leaves a large hole to backfill. Ask which one a quote covers — that single word explains most price differences between bids.
Warning signs you should not wait on: planned construction or concrete over the stump location, a new tree intended for the same spot, roots lifting a driveway, walkway or foundation, and suckers regrowing after a previous grind that was too shallow.
Decide what will occupy that spot before choosing the method, because the requirement sets the price. Grinding reduces the stump below grade and leaves the roots to decay in place, which is fine for sod or a planting bed. Full extraction pulls the root ball and opens a hole that has to be filled and compacted — the necessary option under a footing, a slab, a driveway, or a pool deck. If anything structural is going over it, ask what fill material is used, in what lifts, how it is compacted, and whether anyone will document the compaction, since a slab poured over loose backfill in Augusta’s sandy soil cracks along the settling. Ask what machinery is needed, what route it takes across the yard, and who repairs the ruts and turf along that path.
