Before you rent a stump grinder

Pick the right machine

Walk-behind grinders (around 13 HP) handle small yard stumps; tow-behind and tracked units (25–40 HP) take on large trunks and root flares. Match the horsepower to your stump size.

Know the day rate

Walk-behind units typically rent from about $85–$160 a day, with higher rates for larger tracked grinders. Weekly rates and delivery fees vary by dealer and location.

Rent vs. hire a pro

Renting is cost-effective for a single small stump. For several stumps, tight access, or big trees, a local stump-grinding service is often faster and safer.

Plan for the job

Sort out delivery or a trailer and hitch, wear eye and ear protection, and call 811 to locate underground utilities before you start grinding.
