The stump was wide, cracked, and stood close to a foot tall. Here it is measured before grinding, and the yard after.
Before
BeforeAfterThe Result
A large, weathered stump was turned into a level patch of ground next to the lawn. Roger called the prices outstanding and highly recommended Uncle Stump.
The challenge
A Big Stump.
Years In The Making.
This stump had been sitting for a while. The top was cracked and gray, the bark was splitting off, and it stood close to a foot above the soil. A stump that size takes real grinding time and the right equipment.
For Roger, tree stump removal in Boise meant getting the whole thing down below grade at a fair price, with no leftover hump in the yard.
What The Job Required
- Measure the stump’s width and height to plan the job.
- Grind a wide, dense stump fully below grade.
- Take out the surface roots flaring off the trunk.
- Level the grindings so the area blends with the yard.
- Keep the price fair for a big stump.
The plan & execution
Large Stump Removal, Done Right.
Bigger stumps take more planning. Here’s how this one came out.
Measure The Stump
The stump was measured across the top and from the soil line up. Size drives grinding time and helps keep the quote accurate.
Plan The Access
The equipment route was checked so the grinder could reach the stump without damaging the lawn or fence nearby.
Grind Below Grade
The stump and its root flare were ground down below the surface, so nothing would stick up through new grass.
Level The Area
The grindings were spread and leveled, leaving a clean patch of ground ready for topsoil and seed or sod.

Boise Tree Stump Removal FAQs
How do I measure my stump for a quote?
Lay a tape measure across the widest part of the top, then measure the height from the soil to the top. Text both photos to (208) 968-1697, like Roger did on this job.
Is an old, weathered stump harder to grind?
Not usually. A dried, cracked stump grinds much like a fresh one, though a stump that has sat for years may have a wide root flare that also needs to be ground down.
Can you grind a stump that sits high above the ground?
Yes. Tall stumps are ground from the top down until they are below grade. A stump standing close to a foot high, like this one, just takes more grinding time.
Do you grind the roots around a large stump?
The surface roots flaring off the trunk are ground with the stump. For roots running farther across the yard, Uncle Stump also offers surface root grinding.
When can I plant grass where a large stump was?
Once the grindings are leveled, rake out excess chips, add topsoil, and seed or lay sod. Large stumps leave more grindings, so plan for a little extra soil.
Is it cheaper to let a big stump rot on its own?
It costs nothing up front, but a large stump can take many years to break down, and it stays a mowing obstacle and trip hazard the whole time. Grinding clears the space now.
