Typical Triad Stump Costs

Stump Description	Cost Range

30-40" (oak, hickory)	$100-$155
50"+ (large hardwood)	$165-$250+

Triad-Specific Cost Factors

Clay Soil Challenge: The Piedmont's heavy red clay slows grinding 15-20% compared to sandy coastal soils. Dulls cutting teeth faster, requiring more frequent sharpening (built into pricing).

Mature Hardwood Premium: Greensboro-Winston Salem has extensive oak, hickory, and sweetgum stands. These hardwoods are 30-40% denser than pine, justifying the higher end of pricing ranges.

Neighborhood Access: Older Greensboro neighborhoods (Irving Park, Fisher Park, Westerwood) often have narrow driveways and mature landscaping. Expect $50-$100 access fees for difficult properties.

Seasonal Pricing in the Triad

• Spring (Mar-May): Peak demand = peak pricing. Book 10-14 days ahead.
• Summer (Jun-Aug): Hot, humid = moderate demand. Good availability.
• Fall (Sep-Nov): Second peak (storm cleanup). Prices rise 10-15% in October.
• Winter (Dec-Feb): Slow season. Ask for 10-15% winter discounts (many contractors offer them).

Multi-Stump Discounts

Triad contractors compete aggressively on multi-stump jobs:

• 2 stumps: 10-15% off total
• 3-5 stumps: 20-25% off
• 6+ stumps: 25-35% off (negotiate!)
