PRICING QUESTIONS, ANSWERED
How much does it cost to remove a tree stump in Upstate SC?
Stump grinding, the most cost-effective removal method, runs $75-$150 for small stumps under 12 inches, $150-$250 for medium stumps, and $250-$400+ for large stumps over 24 inches. Full stump removal with the root ball dug out costs significantly more, which is why most homeowners choose grinding.
What is the average cost to grind a tree stump?
The average residential stump grinding job in the Greenville and Upstate SC area falls between $100 and $300 per stump, with $150-$250 being the most common range for a typical 12-24 inch stump. Multiple stumps ground in one visit earn a volume discount.
How much does land clearing cost per acre?
Land clearing in Upstate South Carolina runs $1,500-$3,000 per acre for light brush, $3,000-$5,000 per acre for mixed trees and stumps, and $5,000-$8,000+ per acre for dense woods with full site prep. Every land clearing quote starts with a free on-site walkthrough.
How much does brush hogging cost?
Brush hogging costs $150-$300 per acre for light to moderate growth and $300-$500 per acre for thick brush and saplings, with a $200-$300 minimum charge covering properties up to half an acre.
Do you charge for estimates?
No. All estimates are free and on-site, with no obligation. We walk the property, measure the work, and hand you a firm number — the price we quote is the price you pay.
Are there discounts for larger jobs?
Yes. Multi-stump jobs get volume pricing, and per-acre rates drop on larger clearing and brush hogging projects because mobilization costs get spread out. Combining services — clearing, stump grinding, and grading in one visit — also lowers the total.
