Stump Removal Pricing in Ottawa & Eastern Ontario
If you've got a stump sitting in your yard and you're wondering what it'll cost to have it removed, you're in the right place. Stump removal pricing in Ottawa can vary quite a bit depending on a few key factors — and knowing what to expect upfront will save you from any surprises.
How Stump Removal Is Priced
Most professional stump removal companies in Eastern Ontario price by the diameter of the stump in feet. At Stickman Stump Removal, our rates are:
- ✓1 stump — $75 per foot of diameter
- ✓2–5 stumps — $70 per foot (per stump)
- ✓6+ stumps — $65 per foot (per stump)
So if you have a single stump that measures 2 feet across, you're looking at roughly $150 for the job. Simple, transparent, no surprises.
What Affects the Final Price?
Several factors can influence the total cost of your stump removal:
1. Stump Diameter
Larger stumps take more time and more passes with the grinder. A 1-foot stump is a quick job; a 3-foot oak stump is a half-day project.
2. Number of Stumps
The more stumps you have removed in a single visit, the lower your per-stump rate. This is why neighbours sometimes coordinate to share a service call.
3. Root System Complexity
Some trees — like Manitoba Maples and Silver Maples common in the Ottawa Valley — have aggressive root systems that spread wide. These take longer to grind thoroughly.
4. Accessibility
Our equipment fits through a standard 40" gate, which covers most residential fenced yards. If your stump is in a tight corner or on a steep slope, it may require extra setup time.
5. Debris Removal
After grinding, the stump becomes a pile of wood chips (mulch). You can keep it as a free soil amendment or have us haul it away — debris removal is a small add-on to the base price.
What's Included in Our Price?
Every Stickman job includes:
- ✓Full stump grinding to 6 inches below ground level
- ✓Raking and levelling of the area
- ✓A yard that's immediately ready to reseed, resod, or landscape
We don't grind and disappear. The area is left clean enough to work with the same day.
Watch Out for These Hidden Costs
When comparing quotes from Ottawa stump removal companies, ask about:
- ✓Travel / mobilization fees — some companies charge extra to come out to Prescott-Russell or SDG counties
- ✓Minimum job fees — some operators have a $200+ minimum regardless of stump size
- ✓Debris removal charges — confirm whether hauling is included or extra
- ✓Root grinding — ask if surface roots are included or billed separately
At Stickman, we quote everything upfront with no hidden fees.
Is Stump Removal Worth the Cost?
Almost always, yes. An old stump:
- ✓Damages lawnmowers and tripping hazards for kids and guests
- ✓Attracts termites, carpenter ants, and wood-boring beetles that can spread to your home
- ✓Prevents new growth — you can't plant grass, a new tree, or a garden overtop
- ✓Hurts resale value — buyers notice stumps and will negotiate a lower price
For the cost of a couple of tanks of gas, most stumps can be completely eliminated.
